Decoy November 8, 2005 Share Decoy Member November 8, 2005 You have found a whole new reason for me to play. Well.. not really. Cuz, everytime I take the time to look at something pretty, I get shot in the head. But... They are nice pictures. Pleasant. Something other than a dead guy.

Norguard November 9, 2005 Share Norguard Member November 9, 2005 Mine's only 1280x1024 8xAF 2xAA. I could bump it up, but then I might not be able to keep 60+ fps. Whit, I like 'em. I used to map stuff like that in Half-Life, long, long ago. It didn't matter if the map had a decent framerate, was playable, or complete, or even had more than one spawn. It just had to look as good as the engine could possibly be. I used to spend hours mapping terrain that looked like the stuff in HL2, except now they have a really, really easy system for it. They're called AFAS maps - Art For Art's Sake. There are actually competitions on different forums where you submit screenshots of your map, or submit your map where you can't run around, but just look around from the spawn point, even if you spawn 3 stories in the air. Some have prizes, some are just for kicks and practice, but they're all fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norguard November 9, 2005 Share Norguard Member November 9, 2005 (edited) Yes, a little. Truth is, just about anything above a 9600XT is CPU limited in an average PC. I gave mine away to a friend when I upgraded, and it's performing way better for him than it ever did for me. Of course, his CPU's about 1GHz faster than my old one. Meh, as long as I've got a steady framerate around 60fps, I'm totally happy. Edited November 9, 2005 by Norguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeek November 9, 2005 Share TheGeek Member November 9, 2005 What map is the second one? GC needs to play more new custom maps, that would be fun. Like some night time maps. Oh and my system specs are: AMD Athlon XP 1700+ 1.46Ghz 768 MB DDR3200 80 GB 7200 rpm hard drive AND I KNOW I AM BOTTLE NECKING THIS!! Nvidia 6600GT 128MB I ran out of money suddenly when upgrading my comp. Its sad since that i have never used the full power of my graphics card I run at 1024X768 No AA No AF And everything LOW I get about 50 FPS when magruter opens up on me i get 10-5 FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I get an advantage of ATI working better with Source but getting down to '10-5 FPS' that's just sad. I'm sure there's a cheap alternative for your 1700+ to get full potential of 6600GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to find a good 32 pin processer from a good company like newegg. they dont even sell 32 pin processers anymore. just on remanufactured models. i dont want to upgrade to 64 bit because my graph card is AGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
