Moezter Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I don't mean to spam but I can't find any place with this kind of info. I'm putting a system together with a 3.0 p4 1gig ram and radeon x850xt. Am I only gonna be able to get medium settings? thanks and sorry if im not allowed to ask hardware related questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Well, that will depend on what resolution u intend to use??? ( I asume....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aCid Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 yar!, the only card (so far) that can pull off high settings are the x1900 (512 ver) and the 7900 gtx, i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luger Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) Also have an X850 XT PE, 2 gigs Xms pro, and a 3200+. I'm shooting for almost all high. Edited April 19, 2006 by luger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unwritt3n Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 x800 series are 2 models back... x800 then the x1800 series now the x1900 series plus the x800 series are only shader model 2.0... so i would think just medium @ prob MAX 1280x1024, and probs no AA.

insane snyper Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 On an HDTV I would expect pretty good framerates though, those have terrible resolution compared to a computer monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on your card. Chances are it has a DVI, VGA and S-Video output. Use DVI. If that's not available, use VGA. x800 series are 2 models back... x800 then the x1800 series now the x1900 series plus the x800 series are only shader model 2.0... so i would think just medium @ prob MAX 1280x1024, and probs no AA. ← That's not the correct way to look at it. If you go by your system (flagship cards), the X800 is "3 models back" (X1900, X1800, X850, X800) The more appropriate way to look at it is this: ATI's previous generation was the X300-X850. The X850 was a refresh of the X800. (Most refreshes mean a respin of the tweaked graphics core, possible die shrink and higher clocked core/RAM.) The latest gen (X1K series) sees the X1900 as a refresh of the X1800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daztrek Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Im hoping that my X800XT will do more than med settings. Wonder what other game GRAW can compare to to get a idear on how harsh the engine is in this game? My PC runs farcry with ease at 1280 x 1024 with full settings, Run F.E.A.R on most setting highest apart from shadows and a few others. BF2 again most settings highest always at 1280 x 1024.

fedayn Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 i've an X800XL 256mb and all actual games run fine at high settings with that card (BF2 at high settings with AA4X and AF4X overall) so i think that i'll not have problems with GRAW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fedayn Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 i play at 1024x768, not oc my video card. i can put all settings on high from when i've installed 2gb ram ddr400. so, not only video card is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unwritt3n Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 if u have 4x AA why put up the reso.. thats wat i dont understand.. and if u go to resolutions above 1280x1024 AA isnt really needed.. I always run my games with 1024x768, but have AA at 4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilmas Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 i hope i can run graw on max on 1280*1024 with 4xfsaa+8xaf+hdr+softshadow on my x1800xt 512mb card that i did buy to run graw on high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aCid Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) @ daztrek, in my other pc i have an ATI x700 pro, i pull off high texture settings @ 1024 768 w/ 2xAA/2xAF (BF2) yes its overclocked to 480/487 but its not overclocked much at all and still has stock cooling. dont know why an x800 wouldnt be able to do the same?

ATI's X850 is one of the most powerful AGP cards out there. If you get the Platinum Edition (PE) you will definitely be able to run GR:AW on mostly high settings. Being able to run GR:AW on ALL high settings would require an AGEIA PHYSICS capable vid card...something most players won't have in time for GR:AW...

I always run my games with 1024x768, but have AA at 4x ← I wouldnt have AA at 4x if at that res but was wondering how he could get BF2 to even run that well with his card. ← Having 2GB RAM to run BF2 is very important. I have a 6800GT I thought was running BF2 very poorly (low framerates) until I upgraded my RAM from 512 to 2GB. Besides vastly better load times, the RAM has significantly improved the framerates - like it removed a constraint on the vid card performance. You can't draw the same conclusions for GRAW from any other game out there. Just wait a few more weeks!! I don't know why you received so much negative feedback on this vid card. ATI's X850 is one of the most powerful AGP cards out there. If you get the Platinum Edition (PE) you will definitely be able to run GR:AW on mostly high settings. ← Not sure who has been negative about the X850, but again no one can predict how that card will run the game (besides GRIN) until the game is out. All we can do now is guess. There is no doubt that the X1900XTX runs approx twice as fast as a X850. GRIN has said there is no card right now that can run GRAW smoothly at all highest settings at a high resolution except maybe a high end SLI rig. You can draw some conclusions from there ... Of course if you want to play GRAW at 1024x768 with a X850 with all the graphics turned up, it may be able to pull off ... no one knows for sure til the game is out. GRIN has always been on the cutting edge of graphics ... we can expect to see some really cool stuff when the game is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
