June 29, 200619 yr zing'd indeed. Anyway, Oblivion is playable with FX5500 with the proper tweaks, but evidently you didn't feel it was worth the bother. Not my philosophy, but who am I to harp on about it. Of course, now Hades needs a new graphics card. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
June 30, 200619 yr I just finished the game, or the main quest at least. I had lags quite a lot, and that was with a FX6600GT card. It wasn't bad for the most part, although living within a 10m-diameter pool of grass that moved with me was rather distracting for a while. This card isn't really up to running the game well, though, and I'm thinking of getting something better next month. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I found it better to turn the grass off entirely. It popped up too close for me to appreciate the appearance, and without it I can see the wildlife (boars especially) much better. I've also got a 6600GT (with a 2gig processor and 1gig of RAM), and even on the lowest resolution it lags occasionally, particularly in mass combat.
July 1, 200619 yr I never buy those games anyways, if it is not SW I usually don't buy it for PC...A trusted friend said it was good, so I decided to try it. You don't have to be a shmuck about it. Anyone with your style of critique on operating systems and cards must be a lonely person. Get out in the sun once and a while, maybe meet a real girl...its good for you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oblivion is good if you have a system that can run it. Don't blame me if you are ignorant. Whenever I buy a game I do a little thing called RESEARCH and make sure it can run on my system before wasting the time and money on it. Also I do go out in the sun on occasion. Overrated if you ask me. I met a real girl about 14 years, went schizo and tried to kill me, then we decided it was best we break up. Haven' met a girl like her sense and doubt that I will. Oh well, enough wit the personal history, my suggesion for next time do the research on a game before you buy unless you get it on a console. Kiddie consoles are child proof in that way here it comes to their games. You can't be lazy when you purchase a PC game. Know your system and know the detailed requirements. Oh by the way, I am not a schmuck. I'm a bastard. Get it right. Edited July 1, 200619 yr by Judge Hades
July 1, 200619 yr I found it better to turn the grass off entirely. It popped up too close for me to appreciate the appearance ... I also agree that if you're going to turn the grass setting down low, it's better just to turn it off. Those clump of grass popping up everywhere at low setting is really distracting and ugly. But I like having the grass on, I think it looks cool when I run and crouch around in it Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
July 1, 200619 yr I was testing with my new 7900GTX and HDR really just looks like someone turned up the saturation and contrast on the textures. I think I could emulate it quite well by fiddling with the settings on my screen. the screenshots are scaled down for easier viewing, i play at 1280x1024 as my monitor likes it DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

July 1, 200619 yr Now strong lightsources will be more difficult to accmplish by fiddling with my screen But as Ive understood it, the purpouse of HDR rendering is to increase and expand the contrast range in a rendered frame/image. Enabling light to be blinding bright while still keeping shadows dark with full details in the same shot.

July 1, 200619 yr Go walk around outside with a camcorder and then watch the video. You will see shifting between darkness and brightness. HDR immitates that. Current 3DMark
July 1, 200619 yr Yeah. It seems kind of odd to take some screenshots of a large, open, and bright area to point out how HDR doesn't make much of a difference.
July 1, 200619 yr Go walk around outside with a camcorder and then watch the video. You will see shifting between darkness and brightness. HDR immitates that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whats its supposed to immitate is the High Dynamic Range of contrast between light and shadow that the human eye can percieve. Its the opposite of what you describe, HDR is meant to give both blinding light but also make it possible o see the details of objects in shadow next to that light. Yeah.It seems kind of odd to take some screenshots of a large, open, and bright area to point out how HDR doesn't make much of a difference. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Instead of the sun being The function of HDRR is to increase the range of contrast between light and dark, which can be seen in my screenshot. This can be "emulated" by fiddling with the monitor settings. Your screenshots are an example of a strong source of HDR light with a bloom effect, which is more obvious example of what HDR can do yeah. And nothing I can emulate with my monitor uhm.. what am I argumenting about now again?

July 1, 200619 yr And no real games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right, because I'm just imagining all the images on my TV screen.

July 2, 200619 yr And no real games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right, because I'm just imagining all the images on my TV screen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I own one, and I agree with Dark Raven. Times they are a changin' though. Like every console, the second year is when we get the flood of titles.
July 2, 200619 yr I agree with her too. I'm just saying that the games aren't fake. They just aren't good.
July 2, 200619 yr I agree with her too. I'm just saying that the games aren't fake. They just aren't good. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How cute, you're splitting hairs :D
July 2, 200619 yr The difference between a system that has no games and a system that has no exclusive great games is no difference at all.
July 3, 200619 yr The difference between a system that has no games and a system that has no exclusive great games is no difference at all. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Exclusive great games"? I don't think a game needs to be exclusive to make the system worth buying. For example, if a great game comes out on the PS2, the Xbox, and the 360, chances are I'll be happiest playing it on the shiny 360. That makes the system worth it in my eyes. In fact, I think exclusivity is lame.
July 3, 200619 yr Why spend $400 more on a game that you can play on a system that you already own, Atriedes? A game's shinyness is irrelevant.
July 3, 200619 yr I know Oblivion looks and runs *** more on my PC than on a 360.

July 4, 200619 yr Why spend $400 more on a game that you can play on a system that you already own, Atriedes? A game's shinyness is irrelevant. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The same reason why people buy dual-graphics cards to run in SLI.
July 5, 200619 yr I just bought the game and I am getting terrible lag at every point of the game so far, I can barely create a character without gettin frustrated with the lag. How can I correct this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You could get the low-rez mod from the TES:IV web site... ~DN~ P.S. PC PWNS X-Box360 "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
