What settings do YOU run UT2k4 at??

[high]

Just wondering what everyone is running this game at. I run at 1600x1200 @ Holy Sh!t settings with 70-85 FPS. Rig in sig.

 

[SickBeast]

Yeah I made my computer say "holy sh!t" and it runds great at 1280x1024 w/ 4XAA/16XAF on my rig.

 

[Corporate Thug]

when i had my 9800 pro, i used 1600*1200 with 4x af

havent tried it yet with the ti4200

 

[high]

do you actually notice any difference in IQ with 4x AF at 1600x1200??? I tried it with aa/af and I didn't notice anything but maybe I don't know what I'm looking for with AF

 

[MDE]

Everything at medium @ 1024x768 with a Ti4600, Holy $#it @ 1024x768 2xAA, 8xAF with an FX5900.

 

[blazer78]

i made my comp say holy SHT by running ut2k4 @ 640x480 with all details set to lowest

 

[xSkyDrAx]

I've made mine say HOLY SH!T @1024x768 w/ max settings.

 

[BFG10K]

1280 x 960 with 16x performance AF.

1600 x 1200 gets a little choppy in the heavier maps like the Ice Tomb.

i see sharper edges with AF on, i notice the difference but it aint huge. my bro on the other hand cannot tell the difference betweem AF on and AF off @ 1600*1200.

i guess it all boils down to how perceptive you are to detail

 

[BFG10K]

AF is even more important at higher resolutions, unlike AA.

 

[blazer78]

so my good sir, does AF become apparent at 1024x768 ??

anisotropic, how is that pronounced? a-ni-stro-pic ??

lol

Holy Sh!t indeed - i run it at 1280x1024, noAA, x2AF, medium detail and without most effects. I find that for most of the time thats about playable with 40-70 FPS. Its the lows that i hit from time to time that really mess up game play. Running it on an o/c'ed 9800SE (clocks faster than 9800XT) but alas only 4 pipes - unlocking the other 4 gives loadsa artifacts.

Looking at what settings some of you guys play at has just depressed me somewhat >>> I reckon my P4 2.0A o/c'ed to 2.4 is what is to blame and bottlenecking stuff somewhat.

Still, its not all bad. Played a CTF UT2k4 game last nite that lasted the full 30mins on the level MAUL, and put up the highest score with 224 points

BTW - i put up my UT screeners to show off to my bro... he seems to think i suck at games

any chance you would post a screen shot with stat fps on of the demo onslaught map, standing at the very center control point and looking across to the red base? i'll bet your framerate is a lot closer to 25-30fps than 70.

Try playing 1-on-1 Joust with a full server. You will get over a thousand in score.

1024x768 with medium settings 45-55 fps in deathmatch. rig in sig

 

[Transistor]

I play at 800x600, all settings at low, and all features off. I have a GF4 4400. When a scene that requires a lot of polygons needs to be rendered, the FPS are always high enough so that it doesn't bog down or lag. The most important factor is minimum FPS. The eyecandy distracts, so it is disabled for that reason.

jeez I couldnt imagine aiming running at 800x600 gotta love the HUGE guys at 1600x1200 on a 22"

 

[otispunkmeyer]

i made mine say holy sh!t too.....by playing the game and gettin into a terminator like killing spree...think its about like this

double kill, multi kill, ultra kill, mega kill, mmmmmmonster kill, ludicrous....HOLY SH!T!!!!

i play 1024x768.....character and level detail high, world detail medium, physics low, fog nearly off, and the rest on high....get 20 -40 fps

that is in onslaught and assault the best modes i think

I run mine at 1024x768 with all the settings to the second to lowest one. Rig in Sig

I believe you have MEGA and ULTRA the wrong way round

Also... CAPTURE THE FLAG mode is the BEST! I really cannot stand ONSLAUGHT at all.

I have - and its dumb as hell. The amount of skill required to amass such points is minimal to say the least - you just pick up the rocket laucher and keep your finger pressed on the trigger button. Having said that, up to 4v4 does allow for some skill. Still - its dumb and gets boring fast

MAUL, MAGMA, GRASSYKNOLL, COLOSSUS and NOV2k3 >>> all excellent CTF levels :thumbsup:

resolution doesn't change the size of the players, just how many pixels they are made of.

 

[blazer78]

so the theory of, i see more than u haha, is false?

i always thought i could see more of the environment at higher resolutions, in 640x480 u can't see anything....

 

[JBT]

1024x768, 2x AA, 4x AF performance @ HOLY SH!Ti

 

[Illissius]

1024x768, everything at lowest/off. 40-50FPS in DM and 30-40 in ONS. At everything medium +trilinear +dynamic lights I get 30-40 in DM and 20-30 in ONS, the latter of which is unplayable.
