Everything at max, NV Control Panel setting = High Quality, 4xAA/8xAF, 1920x1200. Haven't seen the FPS drop below 40.

GTX 512 SLI

I'm jealous...

 

[SPARTAN VI]

7800GT's in SLI

1680x1050
4xAA 16xAF (HQ)
Max details (maxed everything)
Z-feather smoke
DirectX 9

30-60fps outside, upward of 100+fps indoors.

Computer in the signature. 1280x1024, Trilinear, No Anisotrophic filtering, Texture settings set to High/High/Normal, With some additional tweaks; 40-70 FPS out of combat, and 24-33 FPS in really heavy combat with a lot of rain, smoke, and gunfire going on.

By adding these lines to the config file;
seta r_gpuSync "off"
seta r_multiGpu "1"

I gained a FPS boost, without loss of quality. When I then set the shader mode to Auto instead of selecting DX9 manually, I also got a boost (But it is still running DX9).

I played in some rediculous eyecandy mode ( as i recall) then it loaded and i was in the truck.
I also managed to eat my lunch and have a cup of tea. watch richard and Judy then go back for the second frame to be displayed. I suddenly felt that same feeling when i saw that my 64MB DDR Radeon VIVO would not cut it with Farcry.
(Ironicaly i bet that it would run this game as it can be in DX7)

ATI Radeon 9800 nonpro
etc...

On this mega pc I get incredible framerates in DX9 mode, 800x600 res, all textures features set to normal, dynamic lights to low, shadows off, smoke off, sli on..etc. By incredible I mean 5 to 10 fps on average..isnt that great?

I guess I'll stick to DX7 mode...oh well.

what kind of numbers are you getting in DX7 mode?

 

[T101]

I wish CoD2 would have allowed easier configuration of all the eyecandy, to allow you to tweak the best performance/eye candy ratio out of it.

 

[BFG10K]

single geforce cards have a maximum of 4xAA in opengl and can only run 8xS in direct3d,..

Not true - single nVidia cards can do up to 16xAA in either API.

Never checked the frame rate.. its incredibly smooth though. Its just not the same though.. there is quite a difference between DX7 and 9 modes. Nothing wrong with DX7 mode though if your hardware is not up to it (like mine).

It seems today's game at least makes good use of a couple of graphics susbystem. SC: Chaos Theory showed me a great use of shaders, and one thing that wowed me in Call of Duty 2 is the extensive use of textures. High quality textures everywhere. I didn't really pay attention to textures in the past, but this game changed my view.

 

[Night201]

I emailed Kristopher Kubicki last week and asked him to include COD2 Benchmarks in future Video Card reviews. He said they will definitely look into that for the next review(s). I'm really excited to see that since this game is so more graphics hungry than the previous versions - plus lots of people play it, so why not include it?

Ya I do, EVERYTHING at highest possible settings. Resolution is 1280x960.

Its not choppy, you guys are probably picturing it to freeze every once in a while, it doesnt, imagine playing the game on slow motion.....thats how I can describe it

I havn't died once because of it.

 

[SPARTAN VI]

"Not choppy" for you, maybe. When I used a X800XL, it just about crawled at 1680x1050 2xAA, Trilinear filtering, everything maxed. Only playable without AA.

Well...1680x1050...now thats a different matter

Try it at 1280x960 and you will see.

Also, does 2GB make a diff in it?

 

[tvdang7]

i dont think 2 gigs make any differnce......i think u can play with 512 just fine cuz it can run fine on y laptop. it doesnt seem to be that ram intensive like bf2.

 

[Remedy]

I agree with TVDANG. Ran it on one my clients system with just 512MB and 1GB. The load times decreased between level loads and in game sequences(where they show WWII footage) as the memory capacity went up to 1GB. Nothing much after that.

I actually have 1GB,512mb and 2GB sitting around....I would do some testing, but my case is really small and its a bitch to change. But I would imagine there is a difference in load times between 1GB -> 2GB, even slightly.

It probably also reduces chopiness at some parts.

 

[tvdang7]

well at least hte load times arnt as long as bf2!! i saw a big change in load times there.....in cod2 i dont mind hte load times but thats probably cuz i have 2 gigs so yea.
