Ice88 · 06-07-2010, 10:12 PM

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

chicaboo · 06-07-2010, 10:56 PM

At least Crytek [Crysis...] favour your evil Nvidia cards.

zoolanda · 06-07-2010, 11:05 PM

Ice88 · 07-07-2010, 09:57 PM

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

i has a mac. boom!

chicaboo · 24-05-2011, 10:27 AM

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...

chicaboo · 26-05-2011, 06:06 PM

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...
