camdean Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 the cpu is the most important thing in this game - the higher clocked your quad is the less it will bottleneck your 4870 x2 basically higher clock cpu = more fps mine was at stock ( 2.66gghz) and i got about 25 to 30 fps, put it to 3.2 and now about 35 to 40 fps solidly (bar loads of action all at once) Thanks mate, I will try this after lunch Also, your VRAM useage is real low compared to mine, any ideas ?

You really want higher clock speeds for SLi or crossfire anyway, same applies to the X2. You reap the rewards with all the games you play, not just with better CPU performance but GPU as well. 4GHz is the going rate on a quad to have zero bottleneck on 2x280s in SLi, not sure what the Duo clocks are but they will be a good bit less. Probably 3.6 to 3.8 to get the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i did find a way to up it another 10 by shutting view distance to 0. Heck i stood in the area where you can look across the water at the buildings on the other side and i can still see everything over there fine with distance at 0. Good enough for me and gets me high 40s FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGamerXxX Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just an observation... but in the benchmark seems like all weather effects are removed as well as 'shadows' (tha paintbrush garbage) I think all that stuff adds ... or rather drops average fps by about 5-9 fps Anybody have any idea how to check actual IN GAME fps rather than benchmark?

They'll disappear, until you activate them again. Don't know if this works for Vista, but for XP users: 1. Start the game. 2. Alt+Tab back to desktop. 3. Open Task Manager. (Quickest way is to hit CTRL-SHIFT-ESC) 4. Go to Processes tab. 5. Right Click on "Explorer.exe" and choose "End Process" 6. Alt-Tab back to game. 7. When finished, go back to Task Manager and choose File->New Task (Run...) 8. Type in "explorer.exe" hit enter, and BAM! You got your desktop back again! This will help free up resources as "explorer" is one of the biggest Mem Usage and resource hogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I did have fraps running and from what I saw, it was an average of about 50-55, it did hit 70 a couple of times. There is definately a good 5fps advantage over the small overclock and the new driver. I get anywhere from 25-70fps in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
