Post your game settings tweaks

[Khalus]

Guess I'll join in on posting settings:

• Mode: Windowed with Borderless Script
• Resolution: 1600*1200
• Multisampling: 16xQ CSAA
• General Drawing: 8
• Background Drawing: 5
• Shadows: Highest
• Ambient Occlusion: off
• Depth of Field: off
• Texture Quality: High
• Texture Filtering: Highest

I keep a solid 60FPS in any outdoor/underground zone. Unfortunately, I suffer from the weird stuttering bug within the cities too, thus my FPS drops to between 30-45 for a few min while everything initially loads, then my FPS returns to a solid 60. It still stutters on occasion, when new players/NPCs enter my view, but its not that bad...


And here are my Custom-built PC specs:

• Motherboard: EVGA P55 FTW 200 SLI
• CPU: Intel Core i7-K875 Lynnfield 2.93GHz
• GPU: EVGA GTX 580
• Monitor: 40" Proscan HDTV
• Case: Antec 1200
• PSU: Antec 750w
• RAM: 8GB A-DATA Gaming Series DDR3 1600
• HDD: Hitachi 1TB 7200

Lastly, a few images: {if anyone cares...lol}

• I ~ II ~ III ~ IV ~ V

I'm on my laptop now so I can't post screenies; at the beach and won't be on the desktop for another couple days. Just the same...

General Draw Quality: 8
AA: 16xQ CSAA
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Everything Else: On/Max
Vertical Sync: Forced via Control Panel

Frame Rate: 45 FPS
In Combat (At BW): 40 FPS
In City: 30-45 FSP

The System:
i5 2.8ghz
4mb Ram
GTX460 768mb GDDR5
HDD: Haitachi 250GB (Don't know make/model)
1920x1280 (windowed)

So yeah. That's where I'm at. I can push better frame rates, but I don't see the point for various reasons, and it comes at a loss of quality. If I play full screen (which I sometimes do; I'll set hulu up on monitor #2 with a play list, and just leave it), I gain anywhere from 5-10 FPS, depending on if I leave my other monitor extended or not.

This setup is all stock, no special cooling elements of any kind, just an acrylic case that is wide open.

Edit:
Also, I have very little to no stuttering in the cities due to HDD issues. If I leave the game running a long time without closing it down, or if I go a few weeks without dumping the files, it will start to stutter everywhere. I've found however that a once a week wiping of everything but the user settings prevents 90% of the stuttering I would otherwise experience. I chalk part of that up to the HDD itself. Haitachis are beats. @.@

4mb Ram

Woah how are you even able to boot? Just 4MB RAM?! D:
Even my 486DX had more than that!

Mistake?

I wasn't aware 1080p TVs could run in 4:3 resolutions, let alone ones with more vertical space than they can display.

Well it's windowed mode it seems and this would work. But I guess a few lines might be missing(like 120) ;o

Nah, I use the VGA port, instead of the HDMI, and the standard max resolution is 1600*1200. I've tried the HDMI and I don't like the way it looks, for some reason it just doesn't look right, might be the HDTV. Anyway, that and I don't like being forced into 1920*1080 with the HDMI being the max. Unable to force higher.

A few months ago, I used to use 1920*1200{forced}, but I built a new PC desk and the HDTV sits back further than it used to so I dropped my resolution to 1600*1200 so I could read it...lol

Apparently 4:3 is an option on this HDTV, and it works great...never had any issues with it, even in full screen. And oddly enough, I can also run 16:9 & 16:10 using 1600*1200 just fine too.
