Dues Ex crusting?

[randomlinh]

So, what vid card you using w/ this game? My friend has a 32MB Geforce 2.. it crusts on that

"crusts"?

I use a 32 meg GF2 to run it too... if you're referring to the occasional choppiness, then yes, it gets kinda crusty on me too. I drive the game at 1152x864 32bpp anyway. It chops out in any decent resolution at 32 bpp, and looks too ugly in 16bpp.

What's Dues Ex?

If you're talking about Deus Ex, OpenGL blows in it.

typo, sorry

But yeah, even in 16 bit, it does seem choppy at times. Seems to be a well known problem, and this is in D3D.

Ah well.

They did a typical Ion Storm hack job by making the D3D performance SUCK! The beta patch helps things out.

When I tried the demo and it ran about 5 fps on my P3-927/GF2 at 1024, I thought, "Uh-oh".

My G400 is having trouble at only 800x600 16bpp with P3 500

I only wish I had a Geforce 2 . I just finished beating the game on a C300@450 with a V3 3500. There were times that I just wanted to shoot my computer because of the 16bit max on the V3 and the rates I was getting (it was especially painful in the scenes between levels when Jock would take off and the camera would do a pan of the area you just finished). I guess I should be glad though, at least I had Glide going, so I could run at 1024X768. I couldn't imagine what it would be like on a G400 .
