Sorry buddy, I remember trying it, but couldnt even get it to work.

Something about my processor wasnt supported. Must have been a dual-core thing.

dayum

i got it working perfectly, and i can't face going back

The massively pumped draw distance, displacement bump mapping, and extra shrubbery and insect life made quite a difference to how it looked, imho

I remember i did it manually last time, and it was quite an effort. This looks a bit easier

Worked perfectly, man i'd forgotten how good this game looks

And my 6800GS@~U absolutely rips it up at 1280x960

It may rip it up all right, blocky shadows and all


** edit hey, by the way, the blocky shadows are fixed with the 8800's. I checked last week

Awesome :beer:

Question for ya, is my 6800GS faster than a 6800U, running at 575 core/1225 mem atm...?

did you unlock the card? if so, it should be faster than a 6800 Ultra. last time i checked, a stock 6800GS was actually close to performing to a 6800GT...

 

[lavaheadache]

pretty sure the GS's are not unlockable. Dug, your probably right on par with the ultra

yeah my mem bandwidth is comfortably on top of the ultra, but not so sure about the core...

secretanchitman:

It's NV42, so it isn't unlockable (the advantage being that it clocks far higher than the old GT/Ultra cores)...

A reference 6800GS (425/1000?) runs on par with a 6800GT afaik..

It has more theoretical fill rate than a 6800ultra (16 pixel pipes at 400mhz core iirc), and has higher clocked memory also, so yes it's faster
