Widescreen Gaming Forum

Well like probably all gamers on this site, downloaded GRAW from gamershell yesterday. What a PC disappointment. I can live with first person view, and the squad guys AI is not too bad. But what happened to the lovely visuals? all the textures look pants, and some of the effects/explosions look decidedly ropey. Also some odd textures on my ATI rig, not sure about Nvidia rigs. was hoping this was gonna be next gen, but found it works at almost max settings on my 850xt AGP system. I willl probably buy it as i think the gameplay will be a selling point but not the candy fest i had hoped

I'm not !!!!
Everything is wonderfull for me ... 8)

Does it look really next gen or is it under todays standards Paddy?

It's utterly Fantastic ... just no AA for Nvidia or ATI ...

ATI users seem to be having a fe problems but I could be wrong ... see here

Okay, i think i'm gonna download it tonight aswell and see if i get the same problems.
I hope not but since i'm an Ati user it may very well be bad for me. :(

I'm not sure but as it is all working fine for me I can only guess it's an ATI thing ... I hope it works well for you mate ... :D

me too. I just don't understand why Ati is so often badly supported.
GRAW had these problems.
Oblivion has bad shadowing.
Matrox does hardly support it.
I makes me nuts. :?

funny, cos my frames are good. even with my 850xt card? but this is only at max 1440 res. Weird one though, i can alter the AA and it does affect the framerate, but does noting in game. I will have to have a look at Paddys GRAW running, but i am not impressed with the textures and shadows. I am not even happy with the explosions etc. they are nothing special. Shame, why not use the latest CRYengine?

Maybe they focused to much on making nice looking explosions for the PhysX engine and forgot about the users without one of these cards.
Or they did that on purpose offcourse. :evil:

I have 5mins left before GRAW demo finishes downloading... which means this could be my last post for days. :lol:


It's no wonder developers have so much trouble with ATI cards... their drivers are hopeless. If ATI cleaned up their act and produced better drivers, i might even consider buying an ATI card. :shock:

4mins of downloading to go........... later'z! :D
