widescreen169 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 My XPS 1530 ddr3 is overclocked to 710 core and 1102 memory with ntune. DX9 - 960x600 (Custom Resolution) Texture Quality - HIGH Objects Quality - HIGH Shadows - MEDIUM (may not seem like it but it is sufficient and looks great) Physics - HIGH Shader Quality - HIGH Volumetric Effects - MEDIUM (If you like clear skies then put this on LOW might get a FPS boost) Game Effects - HIGH Post Processing - MEDIUM Particles - MEDIUM Water - HIGH Sound - MEDIUM Vsync is enabled aswell (i suggest you do this as well as triple buffering is in my edited config file below) This gave me decent performance and over 30 FPS which is good but Crysis plays very well even on about 22 FPS so I created the system.cfg file. con_restricted=0 r_DisplayInfo=1 q_Renderer=3 r_colorgrading=1 r_UseEdgeAA=0 r_UsePOM=1 e_water_ocean_fft=1 r_sunshafts=1 r_TexturesStreaming=0 e_phys_foliage=2 r_WaterGodRays=1 r_GeomInstancing=1 es_OnDemandPhysics=1 e_particles_thread=1 ai_UseAlternativeReadability=0 d3d9_TripleBuffering=1 r_height=600 r_width=960 This made DX9 look very similar to very high. I get the sun rays coming through the trees and the rainbow effect in the water and the overall colour of the game has become warmer which makes the game look so sweet! And the best thing about it is that the frame rate never drops below 25 FPS which gives me great enjoyment playing it. I also have a Notepal Infinite cooler so my overclocked card doesn't overheat maxes at about 76 so its all good. No gliches at these clocks so absolutely amazing!

Guest Guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 You overclocked that much and only got those settings? You must have terrible processor and ram because I don't overclock my 8600m 512mb and I can run it on DX10 all settings on High with the same FPS...

widescreen169 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ah you see on high, you don't have things like parrallax occlusion mapping or sun shafts and enhanced shader colouring you only get on very high. I am effectively playing on very high visuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you kidding me ? thats immpossibe without overclocking, even with a quadcore and 8 gb Ram. Whatever I also got the Dell XPS M1530 but with the Core 2 Duo T9300 and 4 Gb Ram. I overclocked it @ 660/850 and Crysis runs with 22-27 fps @ 800x600. and UT3 with 30-40 fps @ 1440x900. My Temp. never goes over 73° yeah thats the quality of Dell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
