FEAR Graphics Settings. What are yours at?

[VIAN]

Without going under 30fps, my 7800GT allows me to play at 1280x1024 with graphics settings at maximum except:

AA: Off
Lighting: Minimum
Soft Shadows: Off

These are from observations in the 2nd level using Fraps.

Physics are all at Medium. I don't really care about that.

 

[Gamingphreek]

I cant even set it to 12x10

10x7 minimum everything. I turned Physics up one notch though. At those settings i manage an AWESOME 40FPS average

OH YEAH!!

[Killmenow]

Hahaha, w 9800pro 256 --> XT, Im running FEAR at 10X7, medium-minimum, AA:2X, AS:16X. I get ~40FPS average.... *tear tear*
Physics are set to Max.......difference in fps for min and max is 2.........damn that GPU bottleneck!
Note to self: read the note to self that says "get new vcard"

 

[hans030390]

10x7...CPU on maximum, besides sound (medium)...graphics are at highish settings...no AA/AF, and no soft shadows. Some of the volumetric lighting is at mediumish settings.

I usually get an average of 40fps.

1280X1024 2XAA 4XAF all at max except soft shadows... 7800 GT CO 470/1100

Edit the configuration file in \Shared Documents\Monolith Productions.

Then change the file to Read Only.

 

[kurt454]

10x7 0AA/4AF
Physics at Maximum
Effects at Maximum
Sound at Maximum
Soft Shadows Off
Shadows, Texture Resolution, Volumetric lighting to Medium

X800GTO at 530/1020

Minimum fps around 30 in heavy firefights.

thanx, i'll try that

 

[gtx4u]

1688x1266 2xAA 16xAF

video settings on high except for softshadows off, shadows, lightning, volumetric lightning at medium.

physics at medium.

no slowdowns during combat fps stays at a good level. cheers.

 

[Hail The Brain Slug]

Oh man. 1280X960, everything on and maxed, with 4X AA and 16X AF

I don't usually notice any sort of drops in framerates of games unless either it's horribly low (below 20) or
I see a number on my screen. Neither happened all the way through F.E.A.R.

 

[aquafire]

My game settings are maxed at 1024x768 and I don't go below 29 fps.
xfx 7800 gt
2 gig corsair
3200+ amd 64

 

[Todd33]

1280x720 4x/8x

I tried 1920x1080 2x/8x, but it was 20-30 fps. This games is just poorly optimized, it doesn't look that great.

 

[fliguy84]

1024x768: all settings maxed, except for soft shadows. 2xAA and 8xAF too

 

[Fadey]

1280x960
all max
2xaa
Soft shadows On
61 average fps
98% above 40

asus 7800gtx(standard not top one) 490/1300

AA and softshadows dont mix. I think AA is turned off (override) when softshadows is on.

Thats odd, im running higher settings than you with the rig in sig...

1280x960, drivers set to high quality, max everything except soft shadows and aa (off), filtering set to anisotropic 4x in game.

You should be able to push higher with some tweaking, especially with a 7800GT.

 

[nRollo]

16X12 2X16X, everything ON or on Maximum. Plays very nice at same settings with Soft Shadows instead of AA as well.

This game definitely gives you a chance to say the SLI money was well spent.

BTW- it plays smooth with 4X, but I like a game to feel like it's running at 100fps at all times.

 

[Fadey]

Meh i had 2xaa and 2xASFF , the ASFF kills soft shadows.. with 2xaa and softshadow actualy on i get 51 average .. meh shadows arent worth it

 

[Regs]

1280x960 No AA/AF or "Soft Shadows"

All details and effects at Max except Medium Volm. Lighting.

At 1024 X 768, you gain nothing above 4xAS. The resolution is not high enough for the detailed far textures to appear.

Turn it down to 4xAS, watch the frames go up, with about the same image quality.

Test yourself I did last night, and the IQ is the same at 4xAS @ 1024 X 768

They aren't higher.

Drivers:
AA: Application
AF: Application
Image: High Quality
Vsync: On
Gamma Correct AA: On
Transparency AA: Multisampling
Triple Buffering: On (though it doesn't seem to work in FEAR)
Negative LOD: Clamp

Other than those, I am at a higher resolution and I have AF all to 16x except lighting to minimum, not volumetric, which is at max. I tested in this one spot in the game that I noticed I had an excpetionally low framerate just in that one area.

 

[CP5670]

800x600, no AA or AF, soft shadows off, medium texture resolution, everything else at max. It's the only way to keep the minimums above 60fps.

 

[phantom404]

Everything cranked up to high including aa and soft shadows and running at the highest resolution it will let me select. I have the dell 2005fpw but it doenst let me select the resolution for wide screen.

 

[mOeeOm]

1024x768
Most on medium, some on max.
4xAA

I hit auto-detect for this, the sad thing is, even when it auto-deteced these med/max settings the game STILL feels choppy. F.E.A.R is the first game I played where even after you use auto-detect it still chops.
