How well did F.E.A.R. run to you?

[Sparta]

It runs very good. Everything is on high except the textures.

P4 2.4 GHZ
768mb DDR Ram
6800GT 256mb

 

[Icarusintel]

Runs like a dream with everything on maximum at 1280x960, the only time i experienced any slowdown was the very end the first time through when that mech drops down, and haven't had a problem with that scene since
P4 3.4GHz, X800 XT, 2GB DDR2 RAM

 

[JellyWorld]

I think it's time to kill off my X300.

 

[JellyWorld]

Oh and btw a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz with Hyperthreading is comparable to which AMD CPU?

 

[diluted]

It runs like shit even with settings on low/medium and resolution at 800x600.

P4 3.0ghz
1gig of RAM
Radeon 9600xt (256mb)

I'm guessing it's my video card that's holding me back.

 

[Warbie]

It doesn't run too well on my system A64 @ 2.6 gig, 1 gig ram, X800 XT.

1024, everything on medium, and framerates still drop into the low 40's in fights.

 

[fantasiser]

1024, medium settings (soft shadows OFF), and it was perfectly playable even during firefights.

Athlon XP 2800+, 1 gb DDR, 9600XT 128mb (No joke, a 128mb 9600xt, MAN i love this card, it got me through FC, HL2, Doom3 on high detail at a respectable resolution and framerate at an absolutely awesome price.... soon to be replaced when i upgrade to PCI-E :'(, I shall miss you 9600XT)

 

[weskerQ8]

1280 × 768 ( maximum sitting (4x anti-aliasing) )

it's run perfectly on my pc
I got P4 2600 , Ati Radeon X800 Pro

wow the game is just make me fear

 

[Warbie]

It just goes to show that one mans 'perfect' is one mans 'turd on a stick'

None of it really matters, as longas you're enjoying the game.

 

[Gorgon]

I have been playing fear for the last 40mins and I CAN'T get passes the first four S.G

this is fooking HARD

 

[Kouler]

Tip for performance enhancement:

Turn volumetric lights off.
Tone lighting down.
Tone shadows down.
Texture resolution to medium.

Before i did this, i had to play it on 640x480 on medium quality to get a decent framerate. After i did it, i now play it on 1024x768 with all settings set to maximum, (except for the ones mentioned above) and now i get awesome framerate with awesome graphics.

My specs: P4 2.5ghz, ATi 9600 XT, 1gb ram

 

[JellyWorld]

How well do you think it will run on the following hypothetical system?

P4 3.2Ghz
1GB RAM
6800GT overclocked to Ultra speeds?

You did try slowdown, right?

 

[cadaver]

It ran quite smooth on overall medium settings in 1024*768.

amd xp2400
512MB ram
Radeon 9500 pro
asus A7N8X

edit:
tried it with some settings on maximum. still playable.

edit nr 2:
Turned on 4xAA, didn`t have any notecable hit on performance.

 

[Unfocused]

Luckily, I'm one of those people that don't need min.60fps to enjoy the game. On the TV you get 25fps, so if I get constant 25fps in a game it's still OK. I'd rather have even 20fps all the time, than 40-50 with slowdowns/freezes every few seonds.

 

[jimbo118]

performace seems to have got worse for, even on autodetected settings it is choppy. i defragged, virus scanned all the usual...

comp: 3.2ghz p4
gig ddr2 ram
x800xt pci-e

res is default at 1024x768
4aa/4af(although my ati ctrl panel has it at 16 but the game overrides it it seems)
soft shadows off, vsync off, volumetric light density at medium, rest maxed...very choppy, the stutter though is the worst, every new area i get a stutter, 2 gigs of ram time...

i've no idea how some people are running it maxed with 4aa and 1280x768 res like wesker with slower comps;(

the mp performed great for me...

Same, i wouldnt have noticed that theres even a difference between 30 and 60 unless im told by the computer itself. Even if you do notice a difference it isnt much and not like "OMG I CANT PLAY UNDER 40FPS" like some people claim.....

Im kinda like that with aa and af as well..... i switch my games to using these features and not using these features, and when im acutally PLAYING and not looking at the changes, i dont notice a SINGLE DIFFERENCE. Wow, you running a card that cost 500 more than mine so that you can have slightly smoother diagonals, you rule.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

It looks like most people with Radeon Cards seem to be pWned. I'm still downloading my demo and I'll be playing on a 6600GT, I'm hoping for the best because I have ps3.0 as well as UltrashadowII tech but I won't get all excited yet, my download is going at a smooth 1%p/qh (per quarter hour)

It's all down to personal taste.

I notice a huge difference between 30 and 60 fps. So much so that I'd rather play with all settings on low at 60 fps rather than all on high at 30. 50 is the lowest i'm happy with, and even then it's very obvious that the rate has dropped.

It's also easier to aim with a decent frame rate, something which anyone who's clanned at a decent level will tell you. (dropping to 30 fps in a firefight against others with a high rate is a serious disadvantage. You can only be so precise with low fps)

Lastly, monitors and tv's work differently, and can't be compared like for like when it coms to framerate http://www.daniele.ch/school/30vs60/30vs60_1.html (30fps on a tv > 50 fps on a monitor)

Wow, thanks for the link, it was very informative

and besides I'm comfortable with 30Fps (perhaps 20Fps depending what game I'm playing) the reason being is that I use to play TA with 5Fps in heavy combat, and played HL in a 300x480 (I forgotten what the size was, but small) using software graphics not hardware, so I kind of was conditioned in being pretty laid back about this issue

Kill the volumatric lights. That should solve your problem.

 

[Alig]

"It ran ok on medium settings" for me..often it would freeze for a second when i come into the view of new map, quite a big problem though ..but hopefully it'll be fixed by release..or better optimised. Still, it looks superb on Low.

My CPU is in need of an upgrade though.

 

[Dalamari]

Ran it on high without any trouble, although my res was 800x600
