Far Cry water textures all screwed up?

[Dolemite69]

I tried loading Far Cry to see how it performed with my new evga 7900GTO, and I had all the settings maxed out and things were running smooth, but the water looked horrible? Any ideas on why that would be? Also, what is the stock setting for the 7900GTO? I just tried using coolbits on mine last night and it wouldn't go much higher than stock at all. Maybe 10 extra Mhz?

Are you using the latest patch? Or is it the demo? The Demo doesn't recognize newer cards.
BTW, newest Far Cry Patch is 1.4.
Latest Nvidia Drivers are 91.47

Uninstall your old drivers and reboot before installing the new ones.

This is what i'm talking about. Has anyone else experienced this?

An eVGA 7900GTO is basically a refurbished 7900GTX. one that didn't make they cut. they're proably also getting rid of 7900 stock for g80

You must patch the game to the latest version.

Also set water quality to "ultra".

What happened to the 1.33 patch? Can you not use that instead of the 1.4 anymore?

:laugh:

Why wouldn't you want 1.4? Our point is that his game is obviously vanilla. I believe that there were compat probs with the geforce 6x< and other cards.

1.4 adds a couple problems of its own, I dont remember specifically what though. It's all just multiplayer changes anyway. Most of the server are still running 1.33.
If you want 1.33 then the order is: Retail -> v1.3 -> v1.31 -> v1.33

I'm not doing any multiplayer at the moment. It was definately the patch, as i had the water set to ultra before. The patch fixed it, and the water now looks silky smoove again. Thanks!

Oh Lord, not Again! For the last time, the 7900GTO is not a refurbished 7900GTX!
