Far Cry Performance?

[John Lewis]

Ah or an AMD64 2.2 GHz?

No advantage ( if you mean 64 bit )

Sign up for the 64-bit version of Far Cry (free download, when
available) at www.amd.com/farcry. Then you can come back and
shout about your processor.

Mine is sort of choppy on the outdoor levels like the islands and jungles.
I have only gone to the first demo level. The indoor levels like the
carrier are VERY smooth. I play at 1152x864 with everything cranked up
except low FSAA (considering to turn this off completely soon) and 4 for
anisotropic.

Turn off Aniso or set lower for less choppiness at your chosen
resolution Also, do not force any filtering in the driver. Leave it
all to the application.

You HAVE to experiment if you are endeavoring to optimally
match your specific hardware to the game-engine and Crytek
puts all that experimental power in the user's hands. Especially with
the Customize Option in the Configuration Tool, where you can
overide individual parameters in any of the global graphics settings.

Just got the demo. I've always had (comparatively) low 3DMark scores
but this game runs full whack with everything turned up. Looks pretty
good.

I don't know if you can in the game, use Fraps instead.

Fraps?

Isn't that the term they use to measure the loudness of a whoopie cushion?

I might give that a go, although to my eyes, framerate is "enough".

Would you be so kind as to direct me to where I could download this?

Google "Far Cry" and choose a close server. In my case, start download
and go to bed.
