madmark 0 Posted March 11, 2007 I decided to take the plunge and install 1.05 from 1.04 (505) but after reading all the negative posts about this latest patch I was very sceptical as to patch or not so left it untill now as my game was very solid on 1.04. I have to say that this must be a conroe/8800/Vista problem or a combination of one or other because I have found no decrease in performance or problems with this patch. I run the following View distance 2400 Terain very high object very high Texture normal post processing high Resolution 1280x1024 aa normal shader normal shadow normal blood high This set up give me a minimum of 40 fps and a maximum of up to 80 all on 1.05 patch. I see no major drop off on bushes or dense woods either . My rig is not overley high speck but it does seem to avoid all of the problems others are experiecing. xp sp2 32 bit Asus A8n 32 sli deluxe skt 939 ( latest 665 drivers with latest 1016 bios) fx 60 dual core at stock but with a lapped artic cooler freezer 64 with as5 ,keeps the cpu under 35c under heavy load. Aero cool engine case with masive air flow throughout. FSP 600w psu. crucail balistix 2 gig very low latency 2-2-2-5 1t dual channel asus  7900 gtx 512mb (riva tuner o/c to 700 mhz gpu 1700 mhz mem'. Set to quality in control panel. again kept under control to below 45c always in my case. with 93.71 drivers. H/d nothing special seagate sata II 250 gig but did have a recent defrag though. Just one more thing my bro got a e6800 conroe at 3.4 gig with a 8800 gtx and I beat the crap out of his system on this game but on 3d mark 05 I score 13568 he scores 31780 go figure!
