FEAR 6800 256mb
I have a question. How does fear run on the PCI Express 16x, 12 pixel pipeline, 256mb Gforce 6800. I see no benchmarks for the 256mb 6800 standard. If someone has this card and a similar setup to mine please let me know what settings you are running and how it plays. Because I saw a benchmark with a 6800GS 256mb. And it was on 1280x960, high details, soft shadows off, AA and AF off, running at an average of 44 FPS. I am guessing the standard 256mb 6800 will get 35 or so. Most console games run at 30 frames per second so I am even satisfied with that.But does anyone have the card to confirm it?
3.0 gig pentium D processor
1gig of ram
256mb 6800
Heres my cpu, ram, and vid card.

And what resolution do you play it at? I am hoping to get 1280x960, high details, no AA and no AF. And its true, FEAR has one of the best graphics to dateI have a 2005 FPW and a 6800 256mb. I tried to get FEAR to run at that resolution (you can tweak an .ini file to do so). It would run, but was not the smoothest thing I've ever seen. :)
I mean, it worked, but when I backed the game down to 1280, it was a much better gaming experience.
I've just ordered a BFG 7800 GT OC, and plan to sell the 6800 on Ebay. My thinking is this: if the 6800 choked on FEAR (a 2005 game), what will it do when the 2006-2007 games come out?
My hope is that the 7800 GT will be able to keep pace for a couple of years.
Just my $0.02!

the game will auto detect your system and tell you the recommended setting. very nice. it detected mine at 1024 x 768. it's nice to just load a game and play it without having to play around with the settings.3 gz pentium 4nvidiaskankycatz

I was hoping I can play with my monitors native resolution- 1280x1024. But I guess it will slow down. The problem is that games are evolving much faster than video cards. I mean, c'mon the 6800 is 1 year old, and there games that already slow down on it. It is ridiculous. But as long as I can get high details and at least 2x AA on 1024x768 then its fine. With playable framerates of courseCSPlayer089

FEAR is a very demanding game. even with my OC'd 7800GT, i was only able to play it at 2xMSAA, 8xAF, Maximum ingame quality, 1024x768
