Paddywak ... EDIT: I split this and moved it to this more appropriate area of the forum ...


How are the framerates in this game? Are they as bad as in Oblivion?

No where near as bad ... but then the "Next Generation" content is disabled in the demo ... I think HDR and some graphics details ... vegetation and shadows and bump maps.

Take a look at this ... :shock: ...
From 3D gamers ... PC screenshot ...


My screenshot of about the same place with everything at max ...


AND ... I found that if I turned OFF AA in the game but ON in the Nvidia Control .. my fps went up about 25 ... but they could be using a higher AA than the 2xQ I used. 4xAA in the Nvidia control gave me about 15fps better. Whichever of those settings I used I could see very little difference between them at 1920x1200.

The readme says ...
For installer size reasons on this demo version, the ‘Next Generation’ graphics option has been de-activated. However please check back after the 7th April 2006 for an update which will unlock all the high-end content and fully optimise the demo to that of the full retail version.

Yeah ... but ... if they can and are going to release this content in a patch for the demo after the 7th then I suspect that the real reason is not because of file size ... :wink:

I'm downloading the "full-size demo" (*cough**cough*) at the moment. Hehe. 18 hour remaining. Once I move houses in the next few months I've gotta get a proper Internet connection - 512kbps just isn't good anymore. Anyway, I'll let you guys know how the next-gen graphics run on the PC then.
