Actually I was stating thats how I could fix them on my 6800 GT. I don't know what you did cause you're too cool to tell us. I was calling your BS, If you have you have a 6 or 7 series geforce

It's easy. It's called Bull$******! I know a good fix for the blocky shadows: Disable them

woohoo HDR.
yes, sir. on both.Originally posted by: TerracideDK
So you are saying that all this bickering about the "poor NVIDIA IQ" in farcry, was due to a GAME-SETTING(in the system.cfg)?
Not something in the driver?

pxc - wondering why such a simple fix is so "hard"

Someone who is having the problem with bad shadows (6800/7800): post your system.cfg and i'll show you how to fix it.

No, not because I deem it so, because it is so.because you deem it so?
Almost every hardware website still uses it as a benchmark not to mention that the engine is a constant state of development (new patch expected to improve HDR in a few weeks), unlike Sacrifice which stopped development 5 years ago.and while a few still use it to benchmark,
That's your flawed interpretation of the situation, one that is not shared by online forms, hardware websites or by reality itself.it's not nearly as important of a game as some would like to make it seem.
at any rate, sacrifice was a decent success commercially, and got great review.
it was also pretty cutting edge gfx-wise at the time,
So was/is Farcry and so were hundreds of other titles released over the last 5 years. What's your point?its gameplay was critically acclaimed.
Far Cry was benchmarked and analysed more in its first month of release than Sacrifice has been combined in its 5 year existance. Also every major hardware website continues to benchmark Far Cry as it's pretty much mandatory for a hardware review these days.and was included in some benchmarks as well.
Actually no, Myth already did that way back in 1997. Also Total Annihilation in 1998 or so. But that's neither here nor there since this topic has absolutely nothing to do with nostalgic delusions of ancient RTSes which have zero relevance to anything today.iirc it was one of, if not the first rts that was rendered in 3d, and was visually impressive:
And what relevance does a 5 year old RTS called Sacrifice have?downplaying it? that depends... are we talking relevance as a game or as a benchmark? as a game, it's time is for the most part past.. as a benchmark, not as much as i think since it was the first to incorporate sm3 shaders (even tho very little and after the game shipped) and therefore still holds relevance.
And what statistics do you have that Sacrifice is still being played? For that matter what does playing a game have to do with anything?unless you can show some statistics that many people are playing it, i'll stick with the assertion it's hardly played at all...

actually, that's incorrect. the game was released 11/00 and at least one patch followed the following year.. but again you're missing the point.Almost every hardware website still uses it as a benchmark not to mention that the engine is a constant state of development (new patch expected to improve HDR in a few weeks), unlike Sacrifice which stopped development 5 years ago.
again it's your perspective not based on any facts. there's perhaps only a dozen active topics on the far cry forum, and even running a seach in their tech forum, there's only 1 complaint of the issue that's being discussed here, and it only received one reply stating it's a 1.1 patch bug. seems that would indicate how "important" this really is... after all, this is on ubisofts far cry forum, which is frequented by those that ACTUALLY play the game.That's your flawed interpretation of the situation, one that is not shared by online forms, hardware websites or by reality itself.
something you're apparently incapable of comprehending -- that this is not a big deal, and far more serious issues were completely ignored by a competing gfx card company. if you're going to hold nvidia accountable for this (somewhat minor) issue, you should certainly hold ati accountable for a far more serious one.So was/is Farcry and so were hundreds of other titles released over the last 5 years. What's your point?
it's not mandatory at all. but sure, it's been used heavily as a benchmark, but it's not much more relevant than say using q3arena or ut as a benchmark -- there are much more demanding games avail which better reflect current gen. gfx card capabilites.Far Cry was benchmarked and analysed more in its first month of release than Sacrifice has been combined in its 5 year existance. Also every major hardware website continues to benchmark Far Cry as it's pretty much mandatory for a hardware review these days.
again, because you don't deem it relevant certainly does not make it so.. and i'd agree on myth, but total annihilation (which was a great game imo) was a different (top down, rather than 3rd person) perspecitve.Actually no, Myth already did that way back in 1997. Also Total Annihilation in 1998 or so. But that's neither here nor there since this topic has absolutely nothing to do with nostalgic delusions of ancient RTSes which have zero relevance to anything today.
certainly you're intelligent enough to not have to ask that?And what relevance does a 5 year old RTS called Sacrifice have?
you sir are the one making claims as to the popularity of far cry (i certainly never stated anything about sacrifice in that regard); i just asked you to support your claim, so rather than evading the question with a question, why not just answer it?And what statistics do you have that Sacrifice is still being played? For that matter what does playing a game have to do with anything?
coming from one of the more obvious trolls on these forums, i find your request a bit hypocritical.If you want to reminisce about a five year old game which only you and Ben care about it then start another thread about it instead of trolling in this one. And when you start it I'll be sure to pop in and start talking about Pong and Tetris and claim it's just as relevant as Sacrifice is.

Until pcx tells us how to fix the issue I'm going to assume hes full of it, sorry but if you know how to fix a problem there is no reason to be a jackass
Yes but Pong was released in '76 and has had numerous revisions since then.actually, that's incorrect. the game was released 11/00 and at least one patch followed the following year..
This has what to do with Far Cry's shadowing problems?comparing in relative terms, this ati issue existed in the same relative life of the game, so saying it's okay now BS; the problem existed back then, and still does today.
(1) That's a dozen more than active Sacrifice topics.there's perhaps only a dozen active topics on the far cry forum,
Riiiight, because we all know that anyone not posting in Ubisoft's forum can't possibly be a Far Cry player. :roll:after all, this is on ubisofts far cry forum, which is frequented by those that ACTUALLY play the game.
This is nothing more than blatant BS and you know it.but it's not much more relevant than say using q3arena or ut as a benchmark
You mean like Sacrfice?there are much more demanding games avail which better reflect current gen. gfx card capabilites.
You mean like Far Cry's shadowing issue and your trolling in this thread because there are "only" a dozen active Ubisoft topics?again, because you don't deem it relevant certainly does not make it so..
Answer: no relevance whatsoever. I still can't figure out if you're just an nVidia troll trying to downplay the problems in a TWIMTBP title or if you just enjoy spamming threads in general.certainly you're intelligent enough to not have to ask that?
Nonsense. This thread is a discussion about Far Cry's shadowing issues. You popped into the thread and claimed that because Far Cry isn't "popular" the issue is somehow not relevant but in fact a 5 year old game that you pulled out of who knows where is more relevant.you sir are the one making claims as to the popularity of far cry
You need to take whatever fetish you have with that 5 year old game of yours and move it to another thread because it has nothing to do with the Far Cry issue.coming from one of the more obvious trolls on these forums, i find your request a bit hypocritical.

And since there's one active topic on the Far Cry issue and none on the Sacrifice issue using your logic we can conclude that:
(1) Nobody on Anandtech is playing Sacrifice.
(2) Sacrifice is less important and less popular than Far Cry.
:roll:
And you obviously didn't think at all.It obviously took a long time for you to scan posts and think up criticisms
Would you like a cookie?3) I win.

you know, you're right. to small minded people who cannot see anything from more than 1 perspecitve, it's a lost cause.Originally posted by: BFG10K

you're entirely correct in both those conclusions, but it just goes to show there's no point in a discussion with you as you're apparently incapable of comprehending anything beyond its most simplistic form.And since there's one active topic on the Far Cry issue and none on the Sacrifice issue using your logic we can conclude that:
(1) Nobody on Anandtech is playing Sacrifice.
