<div class="IPBDescription">can it play battlefield 2? HDR?</div> Exactly what the title says.

Cyndane

Yes you can, as to how good it will be, that I have no idea on.

An x700 pro is a pretty good card. If you don't run really high screen res for gaming(1600x1200+) and don't use AA/AF settings, it should be a very good card for most games.

2Dd

thanks.
::edit:: wait, thats good news then! i play on a samsung monitor that can only go up to 1280x1024 but i usually run games 1024x768 most of the time! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> very good news!

It's a DX9 card, so you'll be fine. I wouldn't try flexing your muscles with the settings, but you should get pretty good IQ and performance nonetheless.

2Dd

Hmmm, will battlefield 2 be ok with medium or even high with my card? And will hl2 run good with NO AA but High model,High Texture, and High Reflection and shadow?Also, can it run HDR as well?

Caboose

I play it on a 9800XT, and it works, and for the most part looks good, considering the rest of my PC...

iFire

As far as your concerned it'll run everything at like high .... for games that are out that is.

I could go on about graphic card shader models and the differences between Nvidia 6's shader model 3 and Ati x700's shader model two, but who cares except me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It'll support shader stuff like hdr, bloom, blah.

DiscoZombie

I pwn at bf2 on my 9600 pro, so suffice to say you'll have no problems. :>

2Dd

yay for me!

Who in their right mind wouldn't use AF? I would back down all the way to 640x480 before turning AF below 4x. Resolution means nothing if it's a blury mess.

Coincidentally, people use AA because it increases perfomance(think about it: what is cheaper 2048x1536 or 1024x768 with 4x AA? There's actually not THAT much of a difference in appearance most of the time but the latter will run MUCH better)

You're probably going to want rad linker or something like it(because changing settings every time you change games is a hassle, application profiles(executed when launching the app) rocks).

You're probably going to want catalyst 5.7 with the old control panel(not the CCC). As the CCC is slow to load, uses dot net and IMHO is just plain messier and more obfuscated than the old control panel.

The_Thing

Well my monitor is 1900x1200 native, so anything lower than that would be a blurry mess. Unless, of course I turn it to the correct aspect ratio.

That, price/quality and poor black levels is why I find that most LCDs suck for gaming(ghosting isn't that much of an issue anymore)... While I can still get an awesome desk buster™ 21 inch CRT relatively cheaply I'm certainly not going to go for an LCD in their current state should I need a new display.

2Dd

What does anything you just say have any meaning to my topic? Anyway i'm having problems putting my card in.Where is the power supply? how does it look like? where is hard drive? where can i find it? It seems since i haven't done those my screen will only update internet pages with a line going down slowly that updates the page. :\ Sorry, my brother usually helps me put together the hardware

2Dd

Double Postage FTW! Well, the updating line phenomenon stopped, so i tried playing the battlefield 2 demo Oh my god.....Now i know what everyones raving about! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
