Far Cry kinda glitchy

Ok..... I'll list my computer specs I think may be important, if I miss something, let me know.

Asus A8V Deluxe
AMD Athlon64 3200+
1 GB Corsair XMS
nVidia 6600 GT

Latest drivers for vid card.

In game, I have all the settings at max, except ani-aliasing. Screen res at 1280x1024 32. I figured I could get away with everything high, but I still get lag in game. Any suggestions?

TIA

peace

Thanks for the info! I need you to clarify a little bit on the tweaked Omega drivers. I'm not big into OC'ing and tweaking, but I'd like to learn more for things like this!

Thanks Again!

peace



 
I tried installing the Omega drivers, and upon restart got a blank screen and a messge that my moniter was running out of a range that it can handle. I restarted in safe mode, uninstalled Omega drivers, and re-installed drivers from nVidia..... I can see again! 🙂

I am out of time for tweaking tonight.... gotta work in the am!

Thanks again for the input!

For a 6600GT, you might want to consider a res no higher than 1152x864 or 1024x768 if you're also MAX'ing out the graphics options.

high at 1280 might be a little rough with a 6600 gt. keep it at 32 bit color, 16 is eww.

if you have a high dot pitch on a monitor, 16-bit vs 32-bit will be less noticable, i.e. - LCD's 'n laptop displays

32-bit color is pretty much free on newer cards
 
Do you have the latest Farcry patch? The textures in mine were going krazy kolors until I got the patch, which fixed it.
 
I'd also say patch the game if you haven't already and try running at a lower res or lower the detail level. The 6800GT I had oced to Ultra speeds was just barely smooth as butta at those settings with a little AA/AF thrown in. Might be too much for your card.
 
I was playing with the patch when I wrote the original message.
I just lowered the res a bit and things seem pretty ok now. Still some minor lag every now and then..... Guess I need to look into oc'ing the card! 🙂

Thanks for all the input!

I get lag sometimes in Far Cry with everything on Very High w/ AA, and AF on high, I must need something better than an X850 XT PE to play smoothly with these settings.

Far Cry was made way ahead of it's time.
