Far Cry 2 : GeForce 8600M GT

[BhoP2000]

when i playing any game with big graphics i have got 20 fps... I have laptop...3 gb ram , 2.3 GHz , 800 MHz FSB , ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650

1024 MB VRAM

15.6 HD LCD

320 GB HDD

DVD SUPER MULTI DL DRIVE

ACER Nplify 802.11b/g/n

Multi-in 1 card reader

6-cell Li-ion battery....

What is the problem? :(

[THEBEEGEES1978]

resolution?

[THEBEEGEES1978]

Average fps?

[intuition666]

its not working on my laptop i got 8600M gt 256 MB intel dual core 2 t6600

4 GB RAM

[bogo126]

And what is the resolution you play on ?

[dizy1111]

antialiasing of -and you can play really weel :)

[jawedib]

what processor do you have on your laptop and how much RAM? The FPS looks damn too low, and I was wondering whether its playable like that?! And what resolution?

[deathray393]

Can you seriously bare to play at an fps that low? Just turn your settings down a bit, it wont look that much worse.

[THEKFJ]

i have an 8600. i think... lol. i know nothing of computers and graphics cards and whatnot. but i cant have shadows on high or any anti aliasing or it crashes. but for how shitty farcry2 is i dont think its worth it.

[kmann1994]

Dude, turn off anti-aliasing and you will gain a ton of FPS.

[darkeagle5601]

You should post your average fps with the settings in the video description. It looks like it runs pretty nice though. I'll be trying it out myself to see how it runs.

[bountygiver]

When I play this on my Dell XPS M1530 (T7250 2.0 GHz processor) Laptop with 8600M GT, using all your settings (except AA, used 2x instead) I only got somewhere around 20 FPS average. Wheras on my desktop, which uses an E6300 (1.83 GHz) processor and 7900GS Extreme GC, with same settings my average FPS can go up to 40-50. THis feels strange, considering my desktop is bought over a year before my XPS. Is there any explanation to that?

[TheSmartMonk]

God hates you or even if the model is newer (7900 vs. 8600M) the technology isn't that good.

7900 is a graphics card and 8600M is a mobile graphics card and it's what, like 5-6 time smaller than the 7900? And 7900 was the top of the line in the 7 series, right? It's the same thing with new graphics card. The 8600 desktop model is better than the 9400 desktop model and it's a series higher. And most games work better on desktop PCs because the system isn't that compact.

So your problem is normal.

[eilif9]

@TheSmartMonk No olol the 7950 GX2 was the best 7-series card

[omegax05]

srry fer my typing lol set everything to very high except for shade and shadow, set those to med and turn off hdr and bloom cause they only make shit brighter and i promise u'll get like 25-30 frames

[omegax05]

dude I gotta 8600GT XXX OC to 670 core and I put everything on ultra high and it sucks, yeh u get all the affects but it takes the fun outta the game when u only get like 15 frames max, set everythin to set shade and shadow to med and I promise u'll pick up abother 15frames, and turn off hrd and bloom cause they only make shit brighter

[hesitation24]

i just recently bought an xps m1530 (dell) with an nVidia 8600M GT for 1,600 USD thinking I could play Far Cry 2 on max settings smoothly. Now I feel like I've been mugged.

[TheSmartMonk]

You might play on high, but with a low resolution, and if the other components of the XPS are ultra x-pensive and good (like 4GBRAM 2.5GHz dual core)...

But you can play the game for sure on medium.

:D

[hesitation24]

well i have 4GB of RAM and 2.4GHz dual core but it's a 32-bit and i heard that 32-bit's use a max of about 3GB RAM and the extra gig is just sitting duck which totally sucks becuz i spent good money on that

[TheSmartMonk]

Well, you can play for sure on high.

If you have problems lower the resolution (you might have to go to 800x600).

2.4GHz Dual Core is good, i wish i had more processor power. And the RAM are ok for now (2008-2009).

[Tornciti]

I play it on pxc with Ge force8600M Gt and it rocks

[nWoSnake2]

I only get about 20-15 FPS average every setting on the highest it will go with no AA and running at 1024x768 on my XPS M1710 with a geforce GO 7950 GTX 512MB VRAM 4GB of RAM intel Core 2 DUO T7600G which is overclockable in the bios to 3.16GHz man nvidia needs to come out with new drivers for the 7950 GTX. nice video BTW.

[ledar4]

i dont believe that you can play farcry2 at max, at waht resolution do you play????? how many fps do you get in all the game,????

your graphic card have oc????, is 8600m gt or 8600 gt???

[TheSmartMonk]

This it's what you see.

But in the single player mode, i finished the game with medium (and some high) details.

[freakindarkness]

XP or Vista? or other?

[TheSmartMonk]

XP SP2

[holysht332]

woah wat happened 2 u at the end?? were ppl firing at u or was it the explosion of ammo?

.......btw can u tell me if gforce8600m gt 256mb, dualcore 2.5 ghz, and 4gb ram can run this smoothly on high?

[TheSmartMonk]

I think it can.

The 4GBRAM helps a lot and the processor too.

I think you can!

[holysht332]

thanks a lot!

[Krichlov]

How should I run it on 8700M Gt? I always get bad framerates while u seem to do better with a 8600M GT ;//

[TheSmartMonk]

Turn off the Anti-Aliasing, and try a lower resolution.

[klooitviool]

i have a quad core 2.3 ghz

a 9600GT 512mb

2gb ram

vista 32 bit

could i run that on high or?

[TheSmartMonk]

Ultra with that sweet configuration!

^_^

[ryanrama21]

thank you so much man..you run on core 2 duo?

[JethroGillgren]

I have the same card with newest drivers and i get a warning saying my card ain't good enough... Game works though XD

[TheSmartMonk]

When you start the game?

I'm getting a warning windows saying i should update my video drivers, but theres no problem with running the game, and there are no new drivers for the graphics card.

[ryanrama21]

hey man i have 8600gt 512 mb..and my ram is 1gig...and my processor is just dual cpu..not core2duo..my game hangs every time i play for 10 mins..is it because of my processor??can my videocard run on ultra high??

[TheSmartMonk]

Hey,

Well, the RAM might be your problem. And if your running on Vista or XP, that too might be your problem, cause Vista requires more RAM and other resources to run, and the game is left with little resources to run.

You can run the game on ultra high, but i dont recomend it to you, cause you will have to run the game on a very low resolution to work. Run it on medium. The RAM is the problem.

Cheers!

[ryanrama21]

but if i have a better ram and a core 2 duo can i run it on high?

[TheSmartMonk]

Yes.

[ugurds55]

Can I play far cry on high with Geforce 8500 gt ddr 2 512 mb. 2 gb ram 3.08 ghz ??

[TheSmartMonk]

Yes.

You can play the game, but don't expect to go high or ultra high with the details.

What is nice about the game, is that you can run in on a resolution of 340x280.

Cheers!

^_^

[ANDRESSOSPINA]

are you using fraps? with out antianalisting and fraps I think you can run it in ultra whitout problems. do I wrong?

[TheSmartMonk]

Yeah, without AA and Fraps, everything os ok!

[ANDRESSOSPINA]

Cool so me to, I can play Far Cry 2 in ultra¡¡ because I have the same card (a last question is vista or xp? )

[TheSmartMonk]

XP.

[Jyiannaros]

My Specs (Laptop):

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.4ghz

2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

NVIDIA 8600GT 256Mb VRAM

160GB HDD....

Could I run this game?

If so, at what specs possible???

[TheSmartMonk]

Yes, you can play this game on medium-high details level.

[FrostyChilli]

Could i play and on how high/low details FarCry2 with these specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000(2.61Ghz)

2GB Ram

Geforce 8500 GT 512MB

[TheSmartMonk]

Sure.

If you have problems with lagginf, you can lower the resolution and/or turn off or lower the Anti-Aliasing level detail.

[FrostyChilli]

ok,but what do u think that how high these settings can be?

Thx

[ANDRESSOSPINA]

hi men congratulations for your performance could you tellme how do you make it? I have the same card...

[TheSmartMonk]

Hmmm... i don't know. I had some problems at first, but its ok.

Maybe it's because the video was made in a multiplayer map and not in a single player map. I think i i was playing with all ultra high details in single player mode, i will have problems.

[ryanrama21]

hey man i have 8600gt 512 mb..and my ram is 1gig...and my processor is just dual cpu..not core2duo..my game hangs every time i play for 10 mins..is it because of my processor??can my videocard run on ultra high??

[MaZzARoCkS94]

And I got 8600GT!

sorry for double post

[TheSmartMonk]

8600 GT is much better than 8600M GT.

[MaZzARoCkS94]

I run Far Cry 2 with all very high details and 1440 x 900 res with 30 fps.

[AlexGHooper]

I have 2GB of ram, AMD 64 and i'm running NVidia GF 8600 GTS, do you think it will run ok??

[TheSmartMonk]

Yes.

[OV3RCOM3]

I went to a lan party and saw a guy running a cracked copy on the same card, but ye said he could only run it on medium because of some shit about the drivers. Does that really happen? also, what resolution is this in?

[Hornet85]

Not surprising there that it lags badly

GF8600GT is a old card, if it can run at medium is already good

[ThespianVl]

Give it some credit. At hacked settings I can get Crysis Warhead looking very similar to VERY HIGH on my 8600M with playable framerates...

[ANDRESSOSPINA]

zorry but what do you mean with . At hacked settings I can get Crysis Warhead looking very similar to VERY HIGH on my 8600M with playable framerates...

[Suspect114]

is the lag because of fraps?

[TheSmartMonk]

A little bit of FRAPS and a little bit of ultra high details with AA.

:(

[Y0shil30n]

Looks good, but it doesnt go above 10 fps, does it?

[TheSmartMonk]

~20FPS

[PissedAssasin717]

too bad its 60 on the 360 but only 50 on Steam.. cuz i have the same graphics card as you (prolly a worse processor though)

[sellick666]

Nice vid. Good to know it will work on my Inspiron 1720 w/ 8600M GT.

[TheSmartMonk]

Yes!

[Ricky2442]

that looks totaly shit on yr pc

[THEKFJ]

i got the same video card, but the game still looks shit due to my shit monitor. great game though, the ending was not so great, but when you compare it to farcry 1, its alot better.

[tarunchd]

can i run this game even on my bare minimum gf go 6100 ??? Stupid question isn't it!!

[TheSmartMonk]

The minimum Requirements are "NVidia 6800 or ATI X1650 or better; must support Pixel Shader 3.0".

:(

[bloodcell7]

my laptop has that... i feel your pain, get a better pc, ill help you

[SMGJohn]

can i run Far Cry 2 with out lagg?

HP Pavilion dv9812eo:

nVidia Geforce 8400M GS 265MB 1023 System Memory

AMD Turion 64 X2 2.21GHz

2GB RAM

Windows Vista Home Premium

All latest drivers without the processor don't know how to update it.

[TheSmartMonk]

Well, you have Windows Vista and it requires more RAM because of that.

But you can play the game for sure. Maybe on low details or medium details. And try for start with 800x600. And check what Anti-Aliasng levels works for you better.

But you can run Far Cry 2 for sure with that configuration.

^_^

[SMGJohn]

ok thnx but vista is slow i had XP but missed one driver so i did go over to Vista since it whas only working for me

[Cloudruller]

on my Gt8600 very high no lag...

[tristanherbert]

Out of curiosity, what nvidia version drivers are you running?

[TheSmartMonk]

6.14.0011.5638

The only one available for my model.

:(

[tristanherbert]

Wow that's pretty cool, I was mainly curious as to whether you were running newer drivers. Guess not! Check laptopvideo2go and you should be able to use a modified .inf to get newer driver support. :)

[TheSmartMonk]

I've tried with a modified *.inf but ni succes.

:(

[tristanherbert]

Ah that sucks but I'm glad it's running well for you anyway and thanks for putting up the video. I'm looking forward to my copy of Far Cry 2 arriving any day!

Personally I'm running a Dell Inspiron 1520 with the 174.74 drivers via a modified .inf and it's good to know that the game will probably run fine.

[TheSmartMonk]

Same inspiron model here.

You think that a new driver will help?

[tristanherbert]

It might but it seems to be running well enough anyway. I usually try to stick with the old "if it's not broken don't fix it" method!

[hardcoregamer847A]

can i run at high or very high settings on my laptop at 1280*800 resolution:

Intel C2D P8400 2.26 GHz Processor,

3 GB DDR2 RAM,

Ge Force 9600 M GT Graphics Card,

230 Gid Hard Drive,

Vista Home Premium 32 bit???

[TheSmartMonk]

Yes.

But Vista will hold you down.

[darkroronoa]

yeah all max, the game is console based so its not that heavy

[hardcoregamer847A]

hey wat resoultion u play at??? Also,do u have latest drivers,and how much FPS u get while not recording???

[fma440]

U are kinda stupid, aren't you?

The games looks very good but it should be a lot better without antialias,in my opinion aa is really an optional...

Are u using Xp or Vista?

Thx

440

[TheSmartMonk]

I hope your not talking to me about with "U are kinda stupid, aren't you?"...

The video of the game was made on Windows XP Professional SP2.

[LiLLinz28]

dont you guys get pissed off upgrading your pc's and most of you wont even reach 360 quality,the 360 runs it 60fps and is the highest settings possible check it out if you dont believe me

[therealcrashxp]

The pc one has higher settings than the 360 one. And the pc one can uses DX10

[KillerZetzz]

CAN MY LAPTOP RUN THIS GAME WITH ATLEAST 30FPS?

NVIDIA SLI Dual GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB VRAM

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T8300 2.40GHz 2.40GHz

3072MB SDRAM

[TheSmartMonk]

You can run it for sure.

If you get FPS lower then 30, try setting a lower resolution (if you set the game details on ultra-high). But on other settings like medium and low you will have no problems getting 30FPS.

[KillerZetzz]

Thank you very much.

Cant wait to get this game.

:D!

[SimonLANO]

i can clearly see thats not ultra high settings, looks like medium and 1024x768

[bradyhott212]

that is not a 8600!!!!!!!!!!I bought far cry 2 for my pc and i have a 8600 plus my game has no lag!

[Arandie]

It's a 8600M GT idiot, read the description next time.

[holeks]

Pretty Good!

But, if u turn off the AA you'll gat some extra FPS...

[TheSmartMonk]

Yeas i will, or just lower it a little bit.

[jdhasif]

it never rains in my game -.-^^

[chewyButt]

It reflects on how your doing in the game. If your doing shit, it will be cloudy/raining, if your doing well, you'll have sunny days.

[darkroronoa]

? really?

[Ou3nDaN]

What is your screen resolution?

[DaNiscar2]

Is ATI HD 3870 512mb better than Nvidia 8600 GT?

[TheSmartMonk]

Yeah, it's better.

[RandomDota]

hey its the laptop card aye?? 86400m..

[ROBiNATORRR]

of course

[slickchris7777]

looks like 10-15 fps

[RandomDota]

its still pretty smooth

[Sepharite]

Haha. Your 8600m GT must've been touched my Jesus.

[TheSmartMonk]

Come on...

^_^

[leet2222]

nice.. with anti alialising 8 x to lmfao u lie..

[TheSmartMonk]

There is no tweaked stuff or lie.

[Arandie]

He -You are a he, right?- speaks the truth - the game runs well on a 8600M GT card.

[leet2222]

haha  a 8600 gt run this on max? how did u do that lol tweaked shit or something?

[vmm87]

system?

[Sauhaky65]

Where did you download it? And where can i download it...BTW: I rather want demo than the full game....

[TheSmartMonk]

Ubisoft never relesed a demo for the game.

[Sauhaky65]

DAMN! Well...I'm downloading CRYSIS...lol...

Well....Anyway thanks for help and sorry for bothering!

[tom77720]

how u get demo

[TheSmartMonk]

This isn't the demo, it's the full game.

[Sauhaky65]

SO MY PC WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO EVEN RUN THIS GAME?

My specs: 512 DDR5 ATI RADEON 4870 x2 2.61 GHz AMD Athlon 64x2 5000+ 2 GB of RAM ?! Eh?!

[TheSmartMonk]

Yeah sure, why not. I have 256MB RAM (graphics card). This game will work on your PC.

^_^

[Sauhaky65]

Is this you playing? WHERE TO DOWNLOAD? I'mean i know but in only 4 or 1 links?

[Xithon]

I'm actually quite amazed it's running this well on an 'M' geforce card. Certainly puts me in good spirits for when I get this game. Cheers :)

[TheSmartMonk]

The game is nothing like Crysis. I know that the first FAR CRAY game was made by CRYTEK (the makers of CRYSIS), and i was waiting the game not to be able to work with some high details. But FAR CRY 2 is not made by CRYTEK it uses a new engine, and it's all ok.

[Xithon]

Yer, the Dunia engine seems a LOT more stable in my opinion (from what I've seen anyway).
