Hello all, World in Conflict is capable of running DX9 or DX10 Very Happy

I havnt really played the game as such but have been having a good look around the levels and must say what a quality interesting game that will appeal to none RTS gamers also I would imagine Question

There is a clan section and I have added us under |2esurrection if you try the beta Very Happy

The graphics and effects look really sweet Exclamation

Highly recommend anyone trying this game Wink

Cheers

A fair few.... 9fps average on the bench mark - i'll make some tweaks later BUT i think it may be down to running the 1900Xt's i think the new games are more gpu intensive than cpu, so maybe it's the dx10 card needed

I too noticed this very low fps average as well but think it maybe not correct as ingame normal play feels totally fine etc.

So far i love it,a new style of strategy this game adds with the 4 roles to play on each side,they can make or lose a battle if they arent used right,im loving the support role atm,laying some phosphorous rounds down with my heavy arty units.
Explosions are cool,especially if u save up enough command points to drop a fuel bomb or bring in the A-10s Very Happy

my comp seems to be handling this quite well i think,surprised me as my comp is only running at 2.16ghz with 1gb ram and a 128 radeon 9800SE in.

That'd pissed on my bonfire then - if yours is handling it quite well why is mine struggling - could it be another game that dies at the sight of Crossfire Sad

Hi ,
I've jus ran the benchy an got an average of 20 fps, and my old p4 ht 3gig , 1gig ram and 7600gt aint a patch on your rig Ghetto ! so Mrix is probably right in saying its not correct!

As for the game.. well Ive only tried the tutorial so far , it all looks pretty good but I cant say that its got me all exited and cant wait to jump into multiplayer!

Thanx Gaz!
