Well I got the game yesterday, and I have to say that t is awesome (especially the enemy designs). But first, I noticed alot of weird funky IQ problems with the game. I downloaded the latest patches and vid drivers...It didn't solve to problem. It's not huge...it's annoying and distracting.

All the settings are on high

1280x1024 using in game Medium Anti-Aliasing w/ 16 AF

X850XT (stock) w/ cat. 5.12

Here are the pics :

This is not as a bad like the others...looks pretty. But check the building at the background

if you don't mind

Thanks !

i think yu are trying to talk about the odd looking triangles on the roofs of houses? i personalyl think it's just the lioghting system and shadows. what leads me to believe this is that artifacting would not only happen on roofs but a lot of other things like terrain. this seems to be exclusive ot roofs which makes me think that it's jsut the engine.

I exclude the thought of artifacts...I play the game for almost 2 hours and seems to me that the background becomes jaggy from afar, but up close, it looks normal. In other games especially FEAR, FarCry, Doom3, they look normal.

Man....

right now..the X850XT is running cool lately, 29 C idle :D

SS2 isn't as good as the first two installments and is already bargain bin [at WalMart] :p
