I have a new computer and I was asking myself....

[Lo0n]

nvidia card (9800gtx) should be able to run water=3/4, other than that i think that conf should set everything to max, could follow the guide here - http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...dge_Base&cat=7 and see if there's anything else that can be nudged up. for antialiasing and anisotrophic settings, you'll need to alter them in the nvidia control panel (x16 for both with that set up i imagine)

LOL - true.

Sorry, 9800 for me still is the 9800pro from ATI. Shouldn't post and talk on telephone the same time.

You should be able to run Water on 4. You will experience graphics issues, though with nVidia, like texture flickering and problems with the water, depending on driver version and chipset used. You CAN try to set Effects=2, too, but I wouldn't recommend it. Smoke and clouds will look a lot more 3D, but it has a large effect on performance, especially when bombing or shooting your 110s guns at groundtargets

Try these Dll's, they sorted out any texture flickering on my 8800gtx.

They are from the 4.09beta, but you can use them in 4.08 as well. With the new Dll you can set LandGeom=3 to get increased view distance.

...and turning the flak puffs pink... performance hit could be noticeable, dunno... should have enough ooomph to run it with the 2gig (that's detectable in 32 bit OS), 9800gtx (what's the memory on that) and the dual amd at some 3ghz. test, fraps benchmarks, test again. could also depend what screen res you are running at... native res on a large widescreen tft can be a pita

Hi guys,

I'll try what you have recommended. I run on water 3 already, didn't now I could run at 4. I put effects 2 already and I have not the slightest lag at the moment. Anyway I need to go home and stop posting from the office to try that

Yeah, aren't we nVidia-customers a blessed community?


Performance hit on a 9800gtx should be huge, too. It was posted several times that this was primarily implemented as a test-basis. On normal explosions there is little to notice, but when you have multiple explosions or drop a bomb in a city, you'll have some nice performance-testing.
