I think the graphics aren't bad ... but they aren't good either considering how much of a system hog this game is ...
BUT ... it isn't all about graphics ... I would much rather have a game with good game-play and poor graphics than a game with poor game-play and good graphics ...

IMHO ... this game has GREAT game-play.

Just out of interest ... with 2 8800's at the point shown in the screenshot above and with everything at maximum apart from shadows which are at medium ... I get about 70 fps ... with shadows on maximum I get about 40fps.


A real system hog !!!

... the pure number of 'OMG shits are happening gonna die holy crap look out chaos' moments this game has ...

... :mrgreen: ... so true ... The cover system ... the overall game-play and those moments are the reasons why I love this game.

Guys remember ...... whilst the screenshots shown in other posts are't too bad ... PLEASE use thumbnails as I have above ...
The code for this is ...

Paddy do you think my system could run it with nice effects? :o
I'm a bit concerned because Double Agent runs like crap with detailed shaders.

Intel Core2Duo 6400
2048MB RAM 667Mhz
2x 7900GTX

I would think it would be ok ... I get slowdowns in places but on the whole it is ok.

Shadows seem to be the biggest issue for me however medium or low shadows doesn't look that different to high shadows ... and you can gain losts of fps if you lower them.
Some levels don't seem to have shadows at all !

Everything else on or off doesn't make too much difference ... but some say lower resolutions help too.
I haven't tried any other res other that 1920x1200 or some TripleHead resolutions.

What res will you be running ?

1920x1200

also I don't need 16xAF for example so you really think its ok, because I would love to play the game. :o

Yeah ... I think you will be OK ... for the most part it should play fine ... especially if you lower the shadows ... but you framerates won't be high and there will be some slowdowns.
There is no ingame setting for AF ... so you will need to set this in the nVideo control panel .... but again I'm not sure it makes much difference to the game.

If you can wait a day or so ... I'll fire it up at 1920x1200 on my 7900's system (see specs) and see what it is like ... let me know ...

I have read that the Intel CPU's are performing better with the game than the AMD.

Yes I have that time. It would be so great if you could test it, im impressed that you would do something like that. :o

E6600, 2Gig and 8800GTX here.

Game all settings to max runs fine at 19x10 95% of the time. Lowest frame rate was 9 in one area, and there were about 8 or so other goofy areas where the frame rate was in the middle to low teens. Other than that its smooth sailing in the high 20s or beyond.

Take it for what its worth, 80% done with the game btw.

Sounds not that bad. But I'm still very excited about what Paddy will tell me. :)

Wow that's ****ing retarded. I'm sorry, in my opinion that is horrible. An 880GTX all settings at max and smooth sailing in 20's or beyond? Sure, Max settings -- but with an 8800GTX I would expect at least in the 40's and above. I saw videos of R6: Vegas on Gamespot for the 360... not only did it look amazing, but it got excellent framerates that I could see. I'm getting an 880GTX for X-mas... and that's dissapointing to hear.

I know the gameplay looks kick-ass - and I know it doesn't have as much deapth to rogue spear. How does it compare to R6:3? How fast is is the run speed? Is multiplayer chaotic enough to compete with FEAR? (I hope not). I know from some video reviews it said less planning before a game, but more planning IN the game. Deciding factor: Can I camp in a corner with a remote charge or claymore and have fun blowing someone up?

Just wanted to clarify. 20s and beyond means just that. I'd say 75% of the time I was in the 35 to 60fps range with great playable frame rates. 15% of the time in the 20 to 30 range, still ok playable. 10% was less than 20fps which was rather noticable but the odd thing is it wasn't during heavy action most of the time, yet 2 times I remember it was.

>How does it compare to R6:3? How fast is is the run speed?
Been a while since I played it but speed seems about the same. There are 2 speeds, slow jog and walk slow.

>Is multiplayer chaotic enough to compete with FEAR?
Dunno, haven't tried online yet.

>Can I camp in a corner with a remote charge or claymore and have fun blowing someone up?
Not really. The enemy don't patrol much, some do but very few. I've tried sneaking but the enemy sees you very quickly. Trying to sneak to an area and plant a bomb just doesn't work well at all in this game cause once you're seen all hell breaks loose in HUGE way usually. So sneaking doesn't work well at all IMO.

I have used my silencer several times and taken out enemies with it while others don't notice but once you get to a scripted area, the mahem is unstopable and the fire fights ensue.

This is really more of an action game. Stackup on door. Blast in. Run and gun then duck to cover and shoot. Point and move friendly AI forward. Run and gun then duck to cover and shoot some more.

Its fun and worth buying on its own merit but its not true to the R6 series (up till LackDown) as we PC folk remember it. :(
