NoQuarter Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Low, medium, and high are the only values available, so far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRIN_Wolfsong Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 High is max that is available, yes. It uses the full resolution of all textures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have two 8800 in SLI and do not get offered high textures. I did with with my old 7800 tho. Bizarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Just got to go in and edit that rendersettings.xml file then Lancer. Even my old 6800 Ultra can handle weapons and characters set on high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Thanks for the info guys. Makes me wonder why the game does not allow it tho, rather than having to resort to editing xml's, etc. Still, GRIN did put the 416 in the game so I still love 'em.

Bizarre You have to have at least 512Mb on each of your cards to get high setting. GPU memory doesn't add, it mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 GPU memory doesn't add, it mirrors. I'm curious. Is this a game coding thing, a driver coding thing, or a hardware thing? Basically, does the engine not see SLI as being twice the memory, do the drivers report (erroneously) only one card's memory, or is it that the SLI cards/motherboards more or less RAID0 them?

Nutlink Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's a hardware thing I believe. SLI doesn't double the VRAM, it only uses the smaller number (ie if you mix a 256mb and a 128mb card you only get 128mb of memory). There is no GPU or motherboard that can do anything about this.

Dannik Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hmm. That makes sense, but dayum, that's got to be a kick in the pants for those who throw the money out there for SLI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Ledanek Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 GRAW is the one game that made me decide not to pursue SLI. Hardware-wise, having only a 19" didn't make sense either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Oh, it is. Last year I had a 7900GTX and at around Christmas I decided to SLI it with another. The performance increase is nice, but SLI really isn't worth it. Besides the problems with games that don't support it or won't let it run without some modifications (R6 Vegas for example) and the fact that it's so expensive you are much better off going with a single card solution. I SLI'd from mid December to mid May, and I won't do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Where would I find rendersettings.xml ? I have searched every place, including unbundling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Go to where you installed the game and look under Data\settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 There is nothing in the folder. I am using Vista as an OS if this makes a difference. I have carried out a complete search of my HD so I'm assuming the name of the xml is different rendersettings.xml . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's probably that you're using Vista. Did you use the search function of Vista to check your drive for renderer_settings.xml? Vista installs it in a different location I'm sure, but I cannot remember where. Someone else posted it once though I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I finally found it, Vista had decided to make it a hidden file. I've only had Vista for 48 hours and I'm really not signing up to Microsofts blah that it makes things quicker. Nutlink, thanks for your help mate.
