fx 5950 ultra and ps2.0

[doggbizkit]

hi..i have a Aopen Aeolus fx 5950 ultra and ive read a few postwhere they say tht fx cards dont provide gud ps2.0 effect...the post showed examples of the torpedo's in the first level with bump effects on ati cards and didnt show or showed very less bumps.....i was also read tht to display true ps2.0 effects on fx cards we have to delete shader1.pak file or some file like tht..(dont rem)

well i installed the game and played it ..i did not delete and shader.pak file but i still get really gud bump maps on the torpedoes..i think just the same as 9800 and also had smooth fps...may be 40-45 i guess!...

and one more question for fx card owners like me....i heard tht the fx card had some problem with screensavers..the fan wouth stop running in screensavers and resulting in a overcooked chip!...is there nay patch for it...

thanx to all in advance to read and reply!

in Farcry with the 1.1 patch all FX cards revert down to PS 1.1 in certian area's. Deleting Shadker1.pak will not fix it. All it does will bring the lighting effects down. You will loose IQ doing that.

so basically u mean tht i should stick to farcry1.0 instead of patch 1.1...is this ps1.1 implementation also in patch 1.2.....well i have the game running smooth and the IQ is just gr8...(heavly shining metallic surfaces,shiny bodies of mecrs,bumps).. meaning i c all the effects that were shown as comparisions between FX and ATI cards and i have not run into anykind of problem yet...does the patch fix some errors later in the game tht have come up like...specific levels not loading..
