There good, crappy drivers though. Given the choice again id grab a 5870 or 5970 over it.
Oblivion, Nwn2 and MoH all have glitches or crash. Will do a reformat with a proper win7 install as opposed to my custom to see if that fixes it sometime

BC2 and MW2 dont actually require that greater graphics cards, played them on full settings on a 1900*1200 monitor on a 4890

Due to a failing 3 year old motherboard and a dead video card, I got some new parts - a cheap ASRock P45XE motherboard and 2xHD6850 Powercolor video cards. With my Q9650 overclocked to 3.6Ghz at stock volts, I can run Metro 2033 at max settings at 1360x768. 1680x1050 or 1920x1080 gets jerky when maxed out... =[
I was hoping to get more performance, but I know this game is the new Crysis as far as killing your computer goes. Interestingly enough, Crysis runs like a dream on my HTPC [AMD X2 250 at 3.75Ghz with HD5770] at 1360x768 on my 32" LCD TV. Oh well, a P67 motherboard would've been nice, but it would've meant new everything... Has anyone got a system that can play Metro 2033 maxed out? |

If I drop the antialiaising from 4XAA to AAA, I can run it smoothly at 1680x1050.
I don't think Metro 2033 is more visually stunning than Crysis [Warhead], but it demands better hardware for some reason... |

Well I installed FRAPS, and it says I am getting some decent frames at max settings at 1680x1080 [40-60fps]. So I'm wondering if it's just the mouse movement that is making it look jerky? Some games have a mouse smoothing option, but I don't see it in Metro 2033. I'll try lowering my mouse sensitivity in Windows and see what that does in the game...
