AMD64 and Far Cry

[DAPUNISHER]

Link Sounds good to me.

Probably should have posted this in the CPU forum....

That's pretty cool, kudos to you for the linky

 

[Gamingphreek]

That sounds awesome. It will be even nicer with a 64 bit OS tho eh . I wonder what kind of performance advantages will be gained. Will be nice to see when it comes out. Thanks.

I want an AMD64

 

[JBT]

sweet now I just need t osave up for an A64

 

[SickBeast]

if far cry had been released a year from now it still would have been considered cutting edge. wow.

 

[cowdog]

Oh cool. I didn't like FarCry too much at first, but it is growing on me. And, it is a beast on the hardware.

 

[jim1976]

I've posted something about this at General Harware

Glad to see that this seems to be true

 

[MemberSince97]

Wow, good find...

Good news but I suspect you'll need a 64 bit version of Windows to take advantage of it.

If you buy the retail version of Farcry, they dedicate a full page section in the manual to the AMD 64 that contains basically the same info as this link. They don't specify whether or not this upgrade will be free for current owners of the 32 bit version. Still cool that they are already working on the 64 bit version.

Actualy the 64Bit version has been in the works for quite a while, Crytek along with Epic have been working closely with AMD in creating 64 bit games. Both companies demoed thier respective games at the A64 launch last September (im not sure if they were in 64bit mode or not). Expect 64 bitness to ensue as soon as WinXP 64 is released.

Considering the GPU dependent nature of the game, I doubt cpu swap would make any difference.

You beat me to it, ATis wonderful driver team strikes again.

So whats more important now? 64 bit or PS2.0 @ 50fps

Or both PS2.0 and 64bit with a 6800

Rage 3d stated ATi was working to release 64bit catalyst drivers.
