When I got my Dell 9400 with the 7800 Go 256MB vid card, I did the same thing. I kept turning things up and up and up and they looked amazing. I then went and reinstalled all my older games that I was never able to play at high res.

 

Man those times are great.

Glad this worked out well for you.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Far Cry is actually pretty efficient and can run on somewhat low systems.

 

Now you can use the video card advanced settings to crank up the AA to 4x or 8x and the AF to 8x or 16x and still run T2 in 1600x1200!

Yeah, I was truly surprised how great Far Cry runs, I've got it maxed out now...and it's a smooth as silk. I used to run it with the majority of the settings on low...the odd setting would be medium. Never ran this well though. Even T3 is running flawlessly now...or at least the levels I've tried. I haven't unlocked the other pipelines yet...not sure I really need to yet.

I've read (I think) that there is a small risk that you could damage the card if you try, even if you change it back afterwards. That may not be true, but I would research it much more before trying, and if there is no real need then why chance anything.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
