I understand its not finished code, which is why I have said several times, I hope they optimize it. However, its just as slow in the beta, and demo, with updated code. So my hopes are not that high.
I have a much better CPU, and a GTX, and its not playable with options set anywhere close to high, at my native res of 1920x1200. Even at 1600x1200 its dog slow.
The valve survey has a ton of CS players, who can play the game on a 5 year old PC. If you searched for any posts on what res gamers are running on various forums, you will find that 1280x1024 is the most common.
This isnt a LCD vs. CRT issue, dont turn it into one. I dont understand how someone can game on a P4, but I dont go around saying it all the time.
My framerate gets cut to 1/3 when recording(a combination of no HT and ATA100), and and still I don't get "slideshow-mode" when gaming, so please spare me the rant :roll:
And don't try and blame FEAR for you choice in a high res LCD.
Do you expect to run any off the new gameengines that will come out with your current hardware in those resolutions with all the eyecandy on?
Besides, people with a rig like yours is a minority..fact of life.
Just look at how many people that game with a GF4 440MX.
But since you are not a minority, why don't you stop complaing and run SLI instead?
That way your hardware is more suited to your monitor, and you don't have to blames games for you own shortcomnings in choice of hardware
Terra - Fact is that if you had a CRT or SLI, you wouldn't would be better off...like it or not...
Wow you are way off my friend.
I expect to run most games @ 1680x1050 with all the eye candy on, and am capable of doing so on most..
Buying SLI for this game with be the most ridiculous purchase EVER. F.E.A.R. is a poorly written game that runs like ass.
When a FX-55 7800GTX can only run 1024 / or 1280 @ 55fps, there is a problem. Especially when the game just doesn't look that good.
PERIOD.
If it looked significantly better, there may be some something to argue, but it doesn't look much better than previous games.
