MaxAxe said:Common, why do you guys say that Far Cry is badly coded. Though I know that game favors AMD and 64 bit tech but still, I dont have anything against the game. The options just need to be tweaked a little bit and the game should run fine.
Though I would agree that the proccy here could be the culprit and honestly if it was me, I would upgrade, but simply blaming an amazingly built game is not fair.

Radeon said:I don't believe you, for those settings you'd need X1900 CrossFire rig. I have very good hardware as well, and FEAR needs very fast CPU and GPU.
The main problem I could see, the author of this thread needs a good CPU first of all, and then may be a good RAM. However, even after that, I would sincerely think, he may need to drop few things down to medium in advanced settings, yet with Physics down to minimum.
FEAR game uses extensive use of Shaders, for 1440x900 resolution, he really needs good GPU setup.
arun_rulezzz said:youll have to manually change the resolution from your settings.cfg file located in the F.E.A.R user directory located here "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Monolith Productions\FEAR" on your comp.
"GammaB" "1.000000"
"GammaG" "1.000000"
"Renderer" "NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2"
"GammaR" "1.000000"
"BitDepth" "32"

"ScreenWidth" "1280"
"VSyncOnFlip" "0.000000"
"DeviceName" "\\.\DISPLAY1"
"ScreenHeight" "980"
change screen height to 1024 if it doesnt display in game.

LOL High performance is so damn fugly.... texture shimmering all over the place heh.
Well, first of all there's big difference between 78 & 61 FPS. Now, looking at that screenshot you posted above, it says 79% it's above 40FPS. While it also says, 61 is your average FPS, while 21% it's in between 25 & 40 FPS, so I don't think it's really good gameplay as far as I am concerned, it's very low. And then again, you said everything maxed, while I don't see your Anti-aliasing any higher than 4x (as you said). And more to add, I don't trust you either. Because I also own good hardware.
