Testdrive Unlimited was playable with beta drivers also

As of CMR DiRT i guess it wont play i had checked that with 1st final drivers that game is a very bad port frm Xbox360 and requires heavy system
Now I have deleted the downloaded demo file so cant check again

I will try to download again and will check if possible

@s18000rpm Dont U think this thread should b moved to Gamerz or Review section

 

[s18000rpm]

ya.

gamerz section wud be appropriate, as we are discussing about games only (not reviewing them)

 

[yesh1683]

check if bioshock runs decent ?

Some weird problems with Bioshock Demo

With previous drivers i played through 1st check point but at second checkpoint or loading screen the game was crashing [ It atleast played through some areas]

But with new Drivers the game behaves still bad the it crashes at first loading screen

ya.

gamerz section wud be appropriate, as we are discussing about games only (not reviewing them)

Ya then
should it moved????

I dont know any moderators here??? Can u Help and move this to Gamerz Section

Yeah the game crashes for me too after 1st CP.
I guess new driver may hav fixed it..deleted the demo,
someone might check it out

 

[s18000rpm]

@yesh1683, have you tried Gears Of War ?

 

[upendra_gp]

i dont think so cos the G31 and G33 chipsets have GMA 3100/3000 and its just a refurbished/rebranded GMA 950....they shud be worse than G965 which has GMA X3000...

if u want wait a week or so until G35 chipset is launched as its the real successor with GMA X3500 or for now just go with other nvidia/amd offerings

any idea when will it release? any cost estimation?

 

[yesh1683]

@yesh1683, have you tried Gears Of War ?

I will get the game next week
I Hope it atleast runs

Meanwhile Tested John Whoo's Stranglehold Demo itz playable

But in demo there are no options to select and hence no way to change graphics settings ,,, the default settings it plays as taken very high it took 1024 resolution and charcters and walls all look great may b it took AA high some objects look blue,,,
As it has taken very high settings itz almost unplayable i am getting 1 Frames every 3 to 4 seconds

May b the full game will b playable i think as it will b having options to lower the graphics settings

Hi guys!
I also have G965 based onboard gfx.
sys specs: IntelC2D E6320, 1GB RAM@667MHz, Intel DG965RY mobo, 250GB Sata2 HDD.
i have latest drivers installed (for both XP Pro & 64bit Vista). In XP Video RAM shows up as 384MB (shared).

I play NFS Carbon at 640x480 or 800x600 res (old 15" CRTmonitor) on XP and get arnd 10fps.
Although, i have kept settings on high, but still 1 wud xpect tht at such low res, fps shud b better in NFSC, when u guys report to hv played NFSS, Crysis etc....

current settngs::
AA: off (cant turn it on in NFSMW even)
Texture Filtering: Anisotropic
Shader Detail:high
VSync:Off
World Detail:high
Road Reflection Detailff
Car Detail:high
Car Reflection Update Rate: off
Rain:On
Visual Treatment:High
Motion Blur: On
Particle System: on

wots ur take on this?? kindly comment...and will i be able to play NFSPS on my pc??

set them like this...

current settngs::
AA: off (cant turn it on in NFSMW even)
Texture Filtering: Anisotropic
Shader Detail: high
VSync: Off
World Detail: medium / high (experiment)
Road Reflection Detail: 1 or 2
Car Detail : Medium/low
Car Reflection Update Rate: 1 or 2
Rain: On (reccomended = OFF)
Visual Treatment:High
Motion Blur: Off (its useless in Carbon)
Particle System: on

on the first final ver. drivers, this game used to lag when racing with 7+ cars.

& try to keep the shared mem. at 256MB.

any idea when will it release? any cost estimation?

Well preliminary benchmarks show it is slightly better than G965 in 3d mark scores(may be drivers).....and almost equal to 690G......

but release dates is said to be postponed to december/january and price is said to be around $200...so i think its better to buy a P35 and an add on grapgic card and get much better performance

the asus p5e-vm hdmi based on g35 is said to be a capable of 9*400 on a q6600....

@s1800rpm
okay. i'll try these settings out and post the changes...
thnx..
how shall i attach some screenies of NFSC here? thy r of abt 60-80KB.and forum limit is 39.1KB.... shall i upload to some img hosting site?

and do u think i will be able to run NFSS or Crysis on this PC?
I had tried NFSPS demo but while changing the video options etc in the menu, windows debugger would popup and the demo wud be closed. so i thought the demo was a lil buggy and uninstalled it (w/o racing).

Upload the images on image hosting sites
Ex:- *allyoucanupload.webshots.com/
And post the thumbnail image links

Ya NFS Prostreet is playable on VISTA without any problem that too at quite high settings
I played @1024x768 everything set to high with just AA off,world lighting Off and Smoke OFF
Crysis is also playable but the there are quite a lot corrupt graphics the future updated drivers will fix the issues
I posted screenshots of CRYSIS in 11th page check them offcourse played on X3000 at 800 at low settings




__

Well I thaught NFS Prostreet is playable and runs smooth

But FPS is very Low [though i think its playable]
Well i won both demo races in 800 at high settings [so i think itz playable]

The FPS u get @1024 at High settings is 7
The FPS u get @800 at High settings is 8
The FPS u get @640 at High settings is 10

The FPS u get @1024 at Low settings is 8
The FPS u get @800 at Low settings is 11
The FPS u get @640 at Low settings is 15

Screenshots at 1024 High settings
