I think he means Deus Ex. It was a very strange abbreviation though...

 

Been playing Borderlands a lot lately since my graphics card is too weak to handle Deus Ex HR. Gonna save up for a Radeon HD 6990.

[Blightmare]

I'm sure my 5870 will handle it fine.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, sounds a bit more powerful than the piece of shit I have atm.

[BTGBullseye]

And what do you have?

[Scorpia]

i assume it's better than mine...some 2006 model, it can't even handle playing HL2.

 

look in the sky! it's Bullseye! here to save the world from having a shitty set up!

I think it's the 5770.

[BTGBullseye]

I try.

 

I'm just used to running newer games on crap systems, so I can usually help other people with better systems even more...

5770 > my Mobility 5470...

 

It isn't your video card if that's really what you have.

Then I have no idea what it is. I get massive lag in certain parts of the game, especially with heavy amounts of smoke or other effects. I can't run it with DirectX 11 enabled, I have to turn off every effect there is to even get it up to 60 fps and even then it goes down to 20 fps at some parts. Running it at a lower resolution doesn't help either. And I have firefox, msn and pretty much everything in the backgruond turned off so that I don't get RAM issues. Besides, I think a better graphics card would be great, especially since the 6990 has 4 GB VRAM and the 5770 only has 1 GB.

[Scorpia]

you could have a...computer virus?......i'll be quiet now

[Alyxx Thorne]

I could try running a scan of course, but I doubt it. Borderlands runs just fine on 1920x1080 with all the special options enabled and Duke Nukem Forever also runs fine.

Well, the smoke does lag mine down to 13-15 FPS from 20... I'm betting the smoke is rendered as a fluid.

 

If you can't start DX11, then you're either on XP or you've got a bad DirectX install, or you've got a virus.

[Scorpia]

then again if that didn't work i think i'd hear about the total massacre of all the residents of Norway on the news.

[BTGBullseye]

Another thing I remember reading was that some people were noticing a big increase in FPS when they turned off VSync...

[Alyxx Thorne]

I might try turning off VSync and reinstalling DirectX.

[Blightmare]

Well, I looked into this and a lot of the complaints I'm seeing are on ATI cards. Lotta talk about DirectX 11 having issues too.

 

I think I'll just get this for the ps3....

[BTGBullseye]

Yeah, and the thing that really makes me wonder about what's going on is that my system has none of those issues, even though it should have much worse issues than the others are having.

 

I mean, seriously... DX11, full Tessellation, High FXAA, all on an 80 core GFX card without dropping the framerate any from min settings?!? WTF?

[Axeldeath]

I'll buy it when it gets a bit cheaper because I honestly have hardly any spare cash at the moment.

[Blightmare]

I suddenly just became very curious of just how pretty I can make my games look if I were to overclock my 5870. I'll look into that.

Riva Tuner is the best OCing program I've found. I got an 8.8% increase in core clock, and a 20.625% increase in memory clock.

It's probly going to be this price for a year, but it's worth every penny.

Well, I'll look into that. Currently in the process of downloading the most recent CCC for my series so that'll come next.
