What graphics card do you have?

[EAP3D]

It is now 2010, and graphics power has come a long way since the early days of racer. I am positive that newer cards can support higher poly cars and tracks, and having those would bring the visual quality level up immensely.

This thread is to determine the average level of graphics processing power of the players of racer, to help modelers decide how detailed they can go with their new cars and tracks.

I have an 8800 GT and even on newer cars and tracks at max settings and 16x aa I get 60-100 fps.

Also, if you have additional detailed information about how much your computer can handle in racer, post it!

Lol. I'm sorry for you

Lol. I'm sorry for you

Really? It did not cost me anything.. no need to feel sorry for me

Edit: Last night I managed to enable hdr and bloom with win7 (was just fooling around with the settings) - that did not work with winxp so I am curious as if it is related to the drivers and not the card itself. Any thoughts?

I have an ATI Radeon HD 5850 paired with an AMD Phenom II X4 925 and 2GB of 1066MHz DDR2 RAM.
It's an absolute monster.

I had a GTX 285 but it failed so I replaced it with a 9800 GT but have problems with the ai line NOT showing up when running Tib's Jag on carlswood!

Anyone else have that problem?

 

[Alexander Knoll]

yup, same here, with my new GTS250....if i use the TRD...i can see the ai line...

GTX285 1024

Also i7 quad-core @ 4.1GHz
24GB 2000MHz DDR3 Triple Channel RAM

Phenom X4 9950BE @ 3GHz

4GB DDR2 (2x2 sticks)
Radeon HD 3850 256MB


I have been wanting to get a Phenom II x4 965 and a Radeon HD 5850 or 5870 but I really do not actually need either of them. My 3850 still does just fine and the 84 Firebird kinda takes priority.

Oelmunvun:
I notice that you have made several posts in the past few days. They don't show up!

Perhaps posting after a post is the problem! You might try editing your post #28 so that it will show up and can be read.

I've noticed it too Boomer, however, I think it's a Vb problem. I noticed that posts that are made "1 hour ago" are displayed as a new post that was made 1 minute ago, not just in this thread or Oelmunvun's posts. Strange...

 

[Ian Strom]

Pretty sure it is because people are voting in the poll. The thread is bumped/updated each time that happens.

I *think* that is why, anyway.

 

[boomer541]

Thread working ok now, thanks.

 

[Ian Strom]

er, it was always working; I was never adding anything. The only thing that changed was the number of votes.
The forum software just says "OOO!OMGUPDATE! *bumps thread to top* " even though there was no normal post, just a vote.

just odd design I suppose. :tongue:

 

[AMGfan(BPM)]

What is better?

ATI HD4650 or NVidia GT 9600?

 

[Alexander Knoll]

nv gt 9600!

 

[KS95]

Just like DF said. Especially for Racer use.

Theses aren't listed.
My laptop has a gts160m that could run racer at extreme setting at 1280x720 at 60fps in most tracks. with the 16x aa included.
