Thinkdigit exclusive Gears Of War PC Thread.

Here's the performance analysis.Guys please read.
Performance analysis
Since this was a hit on the xbox i am going to buy this game.
I expect it to run fine on systems having single 8600GT with some settings on med.I haven't yet read the analysis but lets move on.

 

[nvidia]

Is it out on PC

 

[Harvik780]

Ok here's what i read.No AA for DX9 and DX10 cause performance drop.But the game was more than playable at 1600*1200 with some tuning.

Only 4xAA in DirectX10.
AF can be forced but AA cannot be forced now.

I think this game will be playable on an 8600GT in DX9 mode(obviously no AA)at 1024*768 with medium/high(not sure) texture settings with everything else set to high.

@nvidia - Yep

 

[hemant_mathur]

[SunnyChahal]

will it run well on my card??
cost??

 

[Stalker]

hmm....DX10 is only for AA?

 

[nvidia]

When will it be released??? Anyway on my 8600GT i wont turn on AA for such games since it just cant take the load. I dont use AA even in Crysis...

Everything set to high in XP constant 62 FPS at 1280*800.
Somehow i could not manage to enable SLI in Vista even though i have installed the SLI vista update.

Thats probably coz Gears of War is capped at 62 FPS, just like UT3....

u should get more FPS now.......just for performance tests, 62 FPS is damn smooth

& cant u put the detail level to High in Vista? Any differences in DX10?

^^Thanks.

Yes i can set everything at max even on vista and even turn AA on from in game.I got 30FPS AVG in vista at 1024*768 with both SLI disable and enabled with DirectX 10 AA on and everything set to high.I don't know why i am having problems turning SLI on in vista.It works for some games and does not for others.
No there are no GFX differences in vista and XP.DirectX 10 is only for AA.

Guys if you wanna get a good game get this as it performs better(can't say about the hiccups though).I played this game with my brother on LAN in co-op mode and really enjoyed the experience.

 

[Who]

Harvik780 will it run smooth on high settings in xp at 1024 x 768 ??
