Nvidia Vs Ati On Farcry [image Quality]

heh..
Yeah I was never a fanboy of any company or brand and never will. Bang for the money I put in is what I look, my money is more important than being a fanboy. i will buy whateber performs better. I have already sold my 9800XT so as to gather money for either NV40 or R420. I will look at reviews from respected sites and will decide which one to get. If NV40 is better I wont hesitate to switch back to NVIDIA And if R420 is better I wont hesitate to stay with ATI either.

 

No man. These images was taken with BFG FX 5900XT. Look at the end of my post, the source of imgens (review in hardocp).

 

This is with a FX5200U 1024x768x32 all to very high and ultra details but i didn't turn the Image settings in the drivers to Quality

 

omg i just LOVE the effects you use on this picture.
what is the cause of the gloomy effect?
glare?
its not real looking but it looks awesome

 

gamma looks a bit too high

 

i think they are using a different rendermode

 

Try detonator 53.03, I had all kinds of probs with other dets.

 

ATI card is definatly using a different rendermode, try rendermode=2

 

I'm running Omega 2.5.36a and v1.1 of the game on my 9800pro at 420/360. Here is a screenshot showing water and terrain at 1024x768, "paradise" render mode and all in-game details maxed. Driver options also maxed, AA and AF set to application.

The game is playable at these settings but normally I lower shadow quality to "high" and in-game AA to medium.

edit: cant seem to link to the pic so here's a link (copy+paste into browser). 56k'ers beware, it's .5 MB

This game rocks!

 

thanks for all your replies on this discussion, i am using rendermode "Paradise" i'll set it as default to see if the water reflections are changed. thanks for that it never crossed my mind we'd be using different rendermodes!

i changed the rendermode to default, and there was no changes. im still confused

 

FarCry 1.1

Gforce 5900 ultra ForceWare 60.72

i have the specs on the left and i have all options in Farcry at very high except 'lighting' at low (not a big difference when set to even very high!), and water to ultra high, i play at 30fps nearly all the time with great quality, the water is awesome.

I have a comment on the 9800XT and 5950U, i saw some benchmarks which had the 9800 score 3 times higher than the 5950, btw i'm one of the biggest fans (fanboy ) of nVidia and i will never buy ATI's products, but i must say that 9000s series r way better than FX series, but the 6000s r going to crush the Xs series of ATI , the best 2 cards in price and performance is the 9800XT and the 6800GT, although they r from a different generation but i'm talking about price.

that's just my opinion, i hope i haven't offended anyone
