True, but that is also UT2k4. I could also do that on my old integrated P.O.S. GeForce FX 64 MB. If you really want to see what an integrated 64 MB GPU can do, load on Far Cry with the highest settings, I can gaurntee it will not handle it. Just try walking through some dense jungle and your frames will drop to about 10 FPS. +/ <!MADDOX!> [+] <!DevArt!> \+     DemonHunter   Posted 22nd Jul 2004 8:07pm L4Y Member Post 0 / 705 Quoting OutlawSkot33 Well in UT2k4 I can have all details turned on and set to high and hardly lag. The Doom 3 engine is MUCH MUCH MUCH more powerful and resource requiring then UT2k4. UT2k4's engine is still DirectX 7 based, aka No Pixelshaders or bump mappers! advocatus diaboli     Pickles   Posted 22nd Jul 2004 8:12pm L4Y Member Post 0 / 392 Quoting DemonHunter The Doom 3 engine is MUCH MUCH MUCH more powerful and resource requiring then UT2k4. UT2k4's engine is still DirectX 7 based, aka No Pixelshaders or bump mappers! Aye, I was also going to say that the real difference between, say like FC and UT2k4, the models are similar number of vertexes, but the levels are much more in Far Cry. With the brush and everything, the entire level is loaded in one large load, consuming much more resources. Thats why you can stand on one island with the binocs, zoom all the way across three others and here people talking with the binocs! Everything is rendered on the first level load, thus the A.I. is active and everything else. The levels are larger (I would guess at least 1-2 km on each side for most of them.) Doom III will run even higher resources than Far Cry, and Far Cry will run *ok* on a 64 MB integrated GPU. However I would recommend cashing in $170 bucks or so and at least investing in a 5900 OC, or something similar. +/ <!MADDOX!> [+] <!DevArt!> \+     Page 2 Multiple Page Topic : 1 2
