seminara 4 Posted January 19, 2005 Hi all Could someone offer me an up-to-date series of settings that will balance performance and quality with the following system? (hoping to use FlashFX and DXDLL) Spec: AMD Athlon Processor 1.3 GHZ, 1.50GHz RAM, a new Geforce 6800 Ultra 256 MB graphics card, SB Live Audio E800 and Realtek AC97 Audio. At present my game settings are: Resolution: 1024x768x32 Refresh Rate: 75hz (if I try to change this OFP crashes out! Perhaps a bug from recent graphics card and DirectX 9 install?) Hardware T&L: Enabled Multitextureing: Enabled W-Buffer: Disabled Vehicle Shadows: Enabled Object Shadows: Disabled Cloudlets: Enabled Blood: Enabled Brightness: 1.2 Gamma Correction: 1.6 Framerate: 13..27 Visual Quality: 6..18 Visiblity: 914 Terrain Detail: Low Outside of this, if there are adjustments I can make to my card or system please do let me know. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Tea 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Refresh Rate: 75hz (if I try to change this OFP crashes out! Perhaps a bug from recent graphics card and DirectX 9 install?) No, it`s a bug in DXDLL. When you want to make changes to the refresh rate, you first have to run OFP without DXDLL. Also to change the resolution ingame will produce a ctd with DXDLL. It has nothing to do with your version of DirectX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Well, your cpu must be a real bottleneck for that card and kinda limits you from higher terrain detail and view distance, also i ran higher resolution and 2x AA with my old ti4200, it ran well at 1240x1024 so i think you could go higher on the resolution, i am currently stuck at that resolution because of my old crappy monitor but running 4xAA with a 6600GT and it works and looks great. I think your dxdll settings can have quite an impact on performance too, especialy post processing and glare, i leave those out and only run reflections because postprocessing disables AA and i cant stand jaggies, i prefer everything to look smoother .

bonko the sane 2 Posted January 19, 2005 yup, u can easily use 2Xquinqux anti-aliasing and it shouldnt bother that graphics card at all. also, u can change resolution and refresh in teh flashpoint.cfg file or in ofp preferences, like this you wont crash. get a faster cpu your pc performance will increase dramaticly,mine is an average AMD Semptron 2800+ and it was very cheap.

seminara 4 Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks fellas - I'll look into your suggestions. Â I was just guesstimating with those settings - playing it safe. I've just visited my local PC builder. Â As I have 1.5 Gig of DDR 2100 RAM, he's suggested the following board: Abit NF8-V AMD Athlon 64 NVIDIA NF3 250Gb Socket 754 ATX Motherboard Is this a good option - or should I just dump my old RAM and get a much faster mother board?
