Maximum PC

I'm playing it on a 260 GTX and it looks great AND playable at 1920x1200. The only things that I have set to "high" are geometry and textures. Which is what I initially set it thinking that if it was to ugly I'd bump up the settings until I noticed stuttering. But after playing it and seeing how good it looked I didn't bother changing anything.

I'll see how "high" I can bump up the settings and let you know what kind of performance I get.

I set everything I could to high settings but because I only have a 260 GTX it is only running in DX9 mode.

Also for some reason the anti-aliasing is disabled in the menu so I couldn't turn that on.

But it still runs smoothly at these settings. I couldn't find how to show the framerate in game. Does anybody know how to do this? Google was no help.

The reason why DirectX 9 mode can't enable AA is because of the likelihood the engine uses deferred shading. Traditional AA doesn't work with deferred shading and I guess for some reason there was no provisions made for shader model based AA (FXAA for instance, but you should be able to force it in the control panel).

Also use FRAPS. Just get the free version.

I've seen mixed reports of performance, but if you're playing 1080p smoothly on a 260, I guess I shouldn't have any worries

RE FPS display: try the help function in command console (if it's still the same) ~ key then ? I think it used to be showFPS1 or showFPS 1 or showFPS_1 or something like that.

I am running a 570 classified, between 30-60+fps with almost everything on high. thats with an old Q9550 and 8gig of memory on vista64.

edit: 1920x1080

So I ran FRAPS and got an average of 25 fps with a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 31. These numbers were obtained with everything on high and at 1920x1200.

I finally got all of the single player achievements.

I think that took longer than actually playing the story the first time.

I've almost finished it. Very much enjoyed it so far...

As an aside; constant 60+ FPS at 2560 x 1600 with (almost) everything maxed using two GTX670's in SLI.

I recently finished it. It's great. I like its climate - quite similar to Far Cry 1.

Has anybody completed the game on Master difficulty?

I just did and they only thing that I noticed that was different was a few more baddies in the later missions. Their tactics seemed the same too.

The amount of resources were the same so I had the same amount of bullets and medic kits.

Also with the update was the option to reset the outposts. When you do this your skills stay and weapons stay intact so in theory it should be easier to do most of the 1st islands outposts.

So I'm going to try and get 1500 points on all outposts.
