Hi all, wanted to give my input here first off my specs:
AMD opteron 170 @ 2.8Ghz, 2mb L2 (or FX62)
2x1GB OCZ platinum 3-3-2-8-1T DDR 500
DFI SLI DR Expert
SB X-Fi music
2x 7800GT CO
600W OCZ PowerStream
I downloaded and installed the demo of GRAW. My detected settings were Medium with 800x600(I later changed this to native LCD res 12x10) 8xAS, frame rate in the game hovered between 25-35, you could feel the game slow down as you turned a corner, or when 4 enemies started dancing and shooting all about . I read about the alternate frame rendering for SLI setups, and gave it a whirl (using nvtray), created a profile for GRAW and set in the stuff manually. Im currently running the game 4x FSAA / 4x AS, 12x10, and all settings on HIGH and there isn't the slightest hint of lag under the most extreme conditions which is great, as it makes the game actually fun to play .
My only question/concern is that I've read that HDR is by default enabled in the game, which means that FSAA @ 4X isn't actually "on", can someone confirm?
EDIT: If anyone is intrested, I could do a FRAPS run with the new settings.
