Unreal II Impressions - Page 3

I bet the amount of polys being pushed is so overwhelming that even the R300's 256bit bus has trouble managing all the load.

Terrible question I know... but does the game support 640x480? And how horrible is it to play that way?

I ask because I'm hearing people with better systems than mine, and they're getting 30fps or less on average. Maybe a low res of 640x480 would solve those FPS problems? (as painful as it might be). Or how about 800x600 ?

Dude, you got nothing to worry about. I run it just fine on my rig at 800x600 32bit max nearly everything.

ReDeeMeR · 02-05-03, 12:29 PM

Runing everything @ max here, no AA but 1280x1024, doesnt get lower then 60fsp, sometimes even 120

(but somehow still feels smooth).

Cant have EAX enabled cause it crashes now and then

It's a nice game, I love to place the turrets and your allies marines to guard buildings and then wait for assault of enemy force

I also wonder about the lower rez... fer my TV!!
I'm not worried about my 310/560 ti4200 at all (I'll expect 45-70 fps mid/hi detail, 2xAF, 2XAA, 1024x768)... but my slow-ish (245/380) R8500 AIW DV in my HTPC will probably be thanking me for keepin it @ 8x6 on the TV with 4XAF/4XAA...

waitaminit... this game's out in retail form? And I'm going to BJ's wholesale club tonite (like a Sam's Club)?

I think I'm gonna pick something up tonite...

***sidenote: wondering why there aren't any games out using enhanced Serious Sam 2 engine? hmmm....

I tried it first at 800x600 and coildn't stop looking at the jaggies so I had no choice but to go 1024. don't worry it'll be more than playable on your rig.

I'll stick with 800x600 and defaults just cause the games so awe inspiring when its running fast. Yow.
