That's exactly what I'm going for, except I'm using a 9800 pro 128 non-OCed.

draven · Sep 17, 2003

1024x768 with 4xAA. Details maxed.

*hopes*

nw909 · Sep 17, 2003

1024x768 (I have to)

2xAA (probably)

AF = I dunno, i'll experiment

Radeon 9800pro 128 Non-OC'ed

droper · Sep 17, 2003

you 9800 guys are lucky i don't think you'll ever have any serious slow down.

Joneleth · Sep 17, 2003

1024X768 is the only resolution I like playing games at, heh. I think my computer will be able to at least have medium detail on when I do this, too.

I'm using a 9700Pro.

1024X768

Prince of China · Sep 17, 2003

1600x1200 with 16 bit colour

KaoS87 · Sep 17, 2003

1024x768 is the way its meant to be played.

Get in the game bitch.

Apos · Sep 17, 2003

1024x768 at max eyecandy looks like something only a 9600 or 9800 can handle, especially with any amount of AA. I'd actually like to see how much bumping the res down to 800x600 affects things.

@bel · Sep 17, 2003

i'm gonna try 1024x768 and see how it runs.
preferably i run my games @ 1280x1024, since that is my dekstop res.

Prince of China · Sep 17, 2003

1600x1200 may be big, but hey, it's me!Right now, I'm using 1600x1200x32 for my Desktop

Direwolf · Sep 17, 2003

Hehe.
1024x768 too.
9700np oc-ed to pro. I'm hoping to be able to have pretty good detail.

Feath · Sep 17, 2003

I have no idea what settings I'm going to use.

I'll probably just quickly click "Singleplayer" and play until I get stuck. Then I'll play about with the settings.

AmishSlayer · Sep 17, 2003

1024x768 with max details. Possible 2x AA or 4x AA...Dunno yet. Gonna have to fool with that.

poseyjmac · Sep 17, 2003

1280x1024 + 16x anistropic filtering. no AA

when ur at 1280 or higher, u tend to forget about AA as you play. ill adjust details accordingly to get 60fps+. but 1280x1024 will never be compromised!

droper · Sep 17, 2003

9600 had no difference in frame rate from 800X640 to 1024X768

Tork · Sep 17, 2003

1280x1024 FULL AA/AF

OrrA · Sep 17, 2003

lol.... I hope all you 9800 card owners dont take it for granted.. I had a GeForce 1(yep the very first one) until about a month ago and now I have a 9200. Wish I could afford a better one... dunno how good of quality it can give me.. and I dont even think DX9 is supported with that card

Adam · Sep 17, 2003

Im going to play in 640x480 like I do in most of my games. I never noticed a difference with higher res except smaller gui interfaces and jagged edges on things, that my AA fixes for me anyways. Plus I get CRAZY FPS at no cost of image quality, atleast none that I could ever see. Im sure I will get great FPS with my Geforce 4 card in HL2 in DX9 with my res that low.

Max Details @ 1024x768
PenisMeat 4X AA, 16X Anito Aliasing

The question is, can the 9700 Pro do it?

The bastard children 9100 and 9200 are not dx9 sorry.

Woggy · Sep 17, 2003

800x600 medium details
No AA or AF
I think theyre useless, youd have to be crazy to even care about jaggies or texture quality a few meteres infront of you. Image quality is the last thing I care about, I just wanna play.

Wow 640x480. Well whatever floats your boat.

But you can't get DX9 with a Geforce 4 card anyway.

...unless your whole post was a joke...then I say HAHA good sir!

Same here, but I'm gonna turn up to full detail on almost everything.

Not according to an article i read..

The Radeon 9200 is a DX8.1 board with AGP 4X/8X support.

Although im not sure if the article was old or recent i just found it in a search.. are you sure all 9x00 cards are dx9? If it is so then I'm quite relieved lol.

Anubis · Sep 17, 2003

Depends on what resolution works best with my computer.

Well, at the very least you will have a lot of time to take screenshots.

Guest · Sep 17, 2003

what is the highest resolution for best looking?

MadMechwarrior · Sep 17, 2003

1024x768 no AF no AA, my Gef4 cant handle it

youd be amazed how much of a difference 16x AF has. its way more noticeable than AA. i can never go back to no AF now that ive played games with AF.

you will especially notice the difference on games with large textures like ravenshield, and of course halflife2. u can barely notice in games like halflife cause the textures are small

It may be a bit risky, but you can flash the BIOS of your 9500 and turn it into a 9700 pro.

Jagermeister · Sep 17, 2003

I'm hoping I can pull 1280x1024 2xAA and 8xAF @ nothing below 30 fps, otherwise 1152x864 4xAA and 8xAF.

what resolution will you be playing at.
