Feedback on the quality of the Rainbow Six Vegas PC graphics

T0MCAT · Post by **T0MCAT** » 21 Dec 2006, 00:39

I don't know which planet I've been on but I find the graphics amazing.
I'm getting 90% of the time 60fps at 1280x1024 resolution. (for my rig see my sig).
The only problem is I'm planning to buy a dell 2407wfp and am afraid to see my fps fall dramaticaly.

Which settings?

Contra33 · Post by **Contra33** » 21 Dec 2006, 15:08

ohh i am sorry at the lowest settings except i use the file i got from here to make it 1680 x 1050 anything above and it glitches bad but i am gonna try to over clock (even thought i dont like to anymore)

On a better note, I 'm happy to hear we can get widescreen enabled, Hor+ AND no HUD stretch! The only thing i'm concerned about - will PB detect it as cheating when it's enabled for the game? I would test it but the game does not support SharderModel 2.0 cards like mine (you just get a black screen at start-up) so I have to wait until the 25th for my 8800GTX :)

When I run a game, the lowest widescreen res I'll run is 1440x900 which looks pretty good on my 24" Acer AL2423W. If I go to 1280x800 or below in any game, it gets strangley pixelated, not in the way you would normally expect. You know what it looks like when you zoom in an image without anti-aliasing (e.g. Photoshop) and everything looks abnormally jagged and deformed? That's what happens on my monitor below 1280x800. Oh well.

Yes I have that time. It would be so great if you could test it, im impressed that you would do something like that. :o

Hey buddy ...
I hooked up a 2405 to my system with the 7900's ...
It runs ok ... there are some slowdowns especially at the start of the training mission ... but on the whole it is playable ...
Here is what I did ...

With my 2 x 7900's at 1920x1200 ... shadows at low (which isn't really that different to High) ... no V-Sync ... and everything else at max.

I did however use nHancer ... http://www.nhancer.com/
In nHancer I duplicated the profile for Unreal Engine 3 ... called it R6-Vegas ...

Set up some Enhancements ...
Anisotropic Filtering ... 4x

Setup some Optimisations ...
System Performance ... Performance ...
Trilinear Optimization ... On
Ansio. Filter Opt .......... On
Ansio sample Opt ........ On

Doing this gave me at least 10-15fps more ... :D

Worth a try ... :D

That's good to know Paddy. I'll test out some optimizations when i get the 8800 in. Have you guys been able to force anti-aliasing in the game yet? I wouldn't imagine it to be that hard. I'm thinking that with my 8800 I'm getting I probably won't run it in 1920x1200 although I'd like to. I'll probably do 1440x900 with 4xAA. I don't think I could bear to run it in 1440 without any anti-aliasing!

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 24 Dec 2006, 12:36

@ Cornflake ...

Yeah ... I did get it going with AA ... but it disables the shadows which I don't like.
I also found changing the resolution from 1920x1200 to 1680x1050 didn't make much difference to the FPS. The best way to improve FPS was lowering the shadow quality which doesn't look so bad.

By the way ... did you not get that PM I sent you re your System Specs ?

Thanks Paddy, I bought the game yesterday and finished it this night. :lol:

GREAT Gameplay, GREAT Graphics, GREAT Sound and sometimes GREAT LAGS. :P

Overall it was good playable with your settings but I used Nvidias Control Panel for it, I tried nHancer before and I never seen a huge difference. The last level was a lagmachine with amazing 16-17fps damn, it was hard to kill those guys. Thanks again for your work.

Lower Resolution = Bad Textures

You know that right? :wink:

One question: Can you play the Multiplayer Online? Isn't working for me. (Patch 1.2)

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 24 Dec 2006, 12:51

Never tried as my internet is no good for online gaming ... :(

Also I reinstalled and didn't re-apply the patch as I was getting some corruption to the sound with the patch ... :?

Hmm... I think I'd like keeping shadows better than AA... so 1920x1200 here I come! in under 10 hours (until the 25th for me)! :D. Oh, and I just got your PM you sent me... the PM'ing system hasn't been notifying me of my messages!

GREAT Gameplay, GREAT Graphics, GREAT Sound and sometimes GREAT LAGS. :P

Glad to hear it... um... except for the last one :wink: And with the 8800GTX I should be able to run in high resolutions because it's a trooper with those. One of the strong points about the card is it keeps good performance at a high res.

I can't wait until I get my 24" Dell next week !!
My only cosern is if I should pay 50 euro for the dead pixle guarantee or just wait and see. Does anybody know what is allowed dead pixle wise?

Cornflake · Post by **Cornflake** » 25 Dec 2006, 00:47

Well, for a 24" monitor it's alot of pixels... which is not good (like 50 dead pixels or something of the like) but I wouldn't be concerned about that too much. I have yet to buy a new LCD with a dead pixel!

Post by **g00seberry** » 31 Dec 2006, 00:59

Just got this and I'm running it with the 1650 bin file i got from here, and I'm getting a solid 20fps for most of the time. Sometimes there's some weird light situation where it goes down to about 6fps though.

My screenshot as comparison..

That's with everything in the video options ingame turned to OFF. How did Jazza make his look even less shiny? I want to try that out to see if i can increase my fps any more.

Well, he probably looked at the R6: Vegas Optimization Thread in the offical Ubi forums and turned some of the bult-in effects off which made the game look absolutley horrible... the game never actually looks that bad though.

Having bought the game just a few days ago, i'm very impressed! I run it in 1920x1080 with my 8800GTX, with an average in the 50s - 60s and sometimes a dip in the 40s in single player. I noticed no difference between Medium and Low in the shadow detail, so I run it in low and get a +15 FPS bonus :)

The gameplay really is addicting, and much more tactical like it was in RvS which is wonderful! Multiplayer is a blast too. I'd reccomend it for anyone that has a system that could handle it. Let me show you guys a screen or two (click to enlarge:)

-Cheers!

i can understand why people with low-end systems are complaining. My GX2 and E6600 (@3GHz) are HAMMERED by this game... but me no complain! :lol:

The graphics are very very sweet. And surprisingly the gameplay is tight! I'd dare say BETTER THAN GRAW?! And GRAW was 2006 GOTY for me, so that's saying something. R6V is like GRAW but with more weapons and non-brown scenery. :)
