AMD Athlon II X4 620 & radeon 5850 Dirt 2 dx11 gameplay

[Cpillin425]

I have this game, I think it's very good, play it on my 1280x1024 monitor on medium, and 2xaa @60fps in DX11(vsync on). My cousin came over the other day and said it looked better than on his xbox360, although I only run it on medium = )

no AA = probably 5-10 fps more than with it on. Sometimes More. With high resolutions AA is not neccesary. Its a luxery that just kills your performance. On older games like F1 99-02 by EA or knights of the old republic AA made a huge difference. But AA isnt a the massive differenece if you run on high res than it once was. Crysis with AA on is not a massive jump in the quality of it.

@nyran125

If you put your eyeball on the screen at 1080p, you can tell the difference with AA on or off.

Playing it, I doubt it.

I thought Athlons are just crap.

[WolvesDominationGR]

@rctwik No, I have the same CPU with the guy's video and it's very good at gaming!

[EizikDarvish]

how is this cpu?

[Runningr0se]

@EizikDarvish If all you're doing is gaming, and you're looking to spend less than $900 on a build-your-own or $1200 on one you're buying from somewhere, it is definitely good enough to not be a bottleneck on a 5850. It also overclocks like a mother.

make more longer videos!!

toooo short ^^

Never turn AA on at 1080p its useless

[VeryCoolMax]

why i shouldn't turn on AA??

[revenant3154]

You shouldn't turn it on at high res because AA is used to make rigid edges smoother but since there are so many pixels at high resolutions, it is already smooth

[ivan4503]

You can always get smoother with AA, even on 2560x1600 and that's what everyone wants. :)

[Runningr0se]

@revenant3154 I disagree, I have a Dell SP2309W which is a 23" panel with a res of 2048x1152. Even with that small of a pixel pitch, jaggies are noticible, although with the large performance drops of AA, its not very worth it, especially past 2x.

[CrossyCriss]

@revenant3154 what about 1440x900? on a 5850

[revenant3154]

@CrossyCriss The only time you should turn it on is when you notice jagged edges/lines. higher resolution = more pixels = finer look to it = No jagged edges.

[000Nagby000]

@revenant3154 watch game like GTA IV of NFS HP or dirt 2 as well without AA

there is a giant aliasing even in 1080p

i always put AAx2 or x4 but higher is useless yes

[basbas63]

@000Nagby000 If you are playing intesively you don't notice any differences
