ATi weren't ready with the drivers for this one. I've read a lot of glowing reports of how well it runs on Nvidia cards and, uh, very mixed ones about ATi. Game looks amazing though.
I expect a 10.5 Preview will fix a lot of that. 10.4a is the driver to use for now.
SC Conviction is another ubisoft poor console port like assassins creed 2 was, play it then ditch it.
Wouldn't it be 1920x1200 or 1920x1080?
It might well bottleneck it I reckon, my Phenom 2 965BE goes upto around 60% on 2 cores on Crysis with a single 5830, and that's supposed to be more GPU intensive or so I've heard.
The PC version was less well received with GameSpot scoring it 6.5/10, citing bugs, missing features, and connection issues.
Poor game port aside, hardware wise a 5870 with a 4Ghz E8400 won't be any faster than a 5850 in most games, because a 4GHz E8400 at 100% would only be able to use up to 80~85% of 5870's full capability.Come on guys, a 4GHz wolfy will not bottleneck the card :/
Actually the GPU bound for 5870 for Crysis at those settings is actually at average 57fps. i5 750, i7 920/930, i7 980X overclocked to around 3.5-4.72GHz+ all manage to get the 5870 to average 57fps, whereas the E8400 at 4.25GHz only managed to get the 5870 to average 48fps, so it is clearly a case of the CPU not keeping up with the 5870. 48fps vs 57fps is roughly 84% vs 100%.Both of those are notoriously CPU limited games, not to mention they are benches at 1680x1050 with no AA and no AF. I mean you realize bit-tech picked both of those benches specifically because they were entirely CPU limited? It pretty much says so.
Therefore hardly relevant to the OP, IMO. I mean X3 is ancient anyway, it's only single threaded.
