Not a surprise: he's running a P4 with 7800GTX and - judged from the picture - with pretty low details...
Well, I'm playing the demo without PPU, with an older X2 at medium details yet my textures look not only the same but rather a bit better than this.
Weird... he claims he's playing it w/
what's the matter here? His jpgs are pretty huge, so one would think just lightly compressed...
Well of course the CPU can but the question is efficiency and from the look of things it seems GRAW isn't intense enough physics wise for the PPU to make all that big of a difference . . .

50fps vs 55 fps isn't that bad at all. For me it was obvious from the beginning that extra load on your GPU will slow down your framerate a bit but I expected some balance - it seems it's fairly OK, 10% tradeoff isn't end of the world, I think - you can OC more by default on any X1900XT...

That's ridiculous if true, I agree though I reserve my judgement until I get my new rig up and running with final GRAW.

i haven't tried it in the retail version yet, but when i tried to do it in the demo, cp aa setting had no effect on the game

I think it just looks better. But not physics better, it just looks like the graphics are a little better. Nothing my computer can't do.

Err, actually no, this is what your computer cannot do without this card.

Well, if the game supported the option to use the second core on my CPU then maby it might run it

7900GTX in SLI 1000 dollars
SLI board 100-200 dollars
Physx Card 200 dollars
Total Spent to boost your gaming the extra few FPS in a game that cost 49.99
PRICELESS
Anyone see the recient BS in the cost of videocard equiptment just for gaming??
or is it just me??
But then again i shouldnt be talking but my 2 7900GT's cost a tad bit more then a single X1900XTX so i shouldnt complain. :\

It'll never work in the retail version either because of the lighting method they chose to use. There's more than a few people wondering what GRIN were smoking when they made that decision, especially considering that there really isn't any hardware available now that can run GR:AW at high enough resolutions to negate the need for AA.

my sli setup runs surprisingly well in game with all settings maxed out (1680 x 1050)
so far, i'm always above 50fps

it seems like you only get benefits from dual core when resolution is in or under 1280x1024
Idiots with deep pockets (or at least idiots that think they have deep pockets) and companies that produce parts for high end gaming rigs make good bed fellows
The PPU is very new technology and I'm pretty sure GRAW isn't supposed to be poster child for PPUs despite the fact that it supports it. PPUs aren't supposed to increase your FPS, they're supposed to make the game more dynamic which should make it more interesting/fun.
There have been demos made showing that dual core is not the answer for physics, that a dedicated card can wipe the floor with dualcore - heck, CPUs can process our graphics but do we want to go back to software acceleration? Or have dedicated video accelerators (now known as GPUs) proven themselves?

one point to remember is ppu is not supposed to be used only for the flying particles and stuff that decrease fps.
the real use comes in when you have real to life physics. eg wind blowing at certain speeds would cause my aircraft to change course in BF2.
handling changes depending on wind speed and turbulence. speed of walking is affected by ground. breakable enviormensts (though its already been done in red Faction.)
but imagine being able to blast a hole in a volcano (bf2) and have lava come out realisticly follow the ground as a fluid of its density would and burn up and destroy everything. then when its done the lava meets the water and forms a new lands.
I just drooled while writing this. i'll get the ppu once stuff like this possible.

quote from [ui]ICEMAN over at the OCUK forums
800x600 with all lowest options enabled, same story.
On
Explosion 35
Grenade 55
Gunshot 80
Off
Explosion 60
Grenade 90
Gunshot 110
800x600, lowest everything and no AA or AF and just look at the FPS drop. either the PPU isnt as powerful as everyone thinks, or the developers of GRAW did the most craptacular job of implementation ever
