For those who are interested:

i7-930 + MSI GTX 460 1GB (All stock): High 4670

Weird flickering for 2-3 secs, during the "comet" scene with crysis fullscreen hack.

I read someone with the same complaint fixed it by:

Forcing Vertical Sync and Triple Buffering

Yeah I'd like to know that too, as well as drivers and such, because that's like 2000 points higher than most of the 460s have scored on high.

**Kalyna** · 2010-09-01 09:11

Either that or he ran the XI benchmark instead.

But yeah, definitely two 460s or he made a typo. Scoring almost 4700 with no overclocking is, like, even better than a 480.

Doing this will drastically reduce your score unless you have a 120mhz monitor. All scenarios where you'd have higher FPS would be restricted down to your refresh rate, which is how the score is generated.

MBPs are not Optimus-enabled notebooks, so the high-performance video card is forced on 100% of the time and switching is disabled.

Mine has the same problem. Intel integrated chipset and a GT330M, and Winders only sees the nVidia chip.

Ugh, what a boner jam.

Has to be, my brother scores 3.3K ish with a GTX 460 OC'd to 870/2200 and a i7 920 @ 4GHz

**Shecky** · 2010-09-01 19:09

Has anyone installed the Beta Client?? I ran it today and left it going.....about 7 hours later it was all done. Of course you can't play it but I can't find it anywheres on my harddrive? I can find all the files however nothing to add up to a big game. Did I do something wrong?

Nevermind.....found it..haha

**Elites** · 2010-09-02 01:24

Any updates on how open beta runs on nvidia cards now? Specifically the 460 series

**Kylewhataru** · 2010-09-02 02:39

I have two 460s but can't seem to get it to work right in SLI, one GPU goes up 99% the other never goes past 10-20%, does anyone know how to make it work properly?

Anyway, I am getting 35ish fps in crowded areas, and 60fps in the open, BUT I'm not sure if it's actually taking advantage of SLI or not because the 2nd gpu never goes past 20%...

**shaddix** · 2010-09-02 04:08

Well. I can tell you that at low resolution on a high end system, it runs worse. Beta 3 at 1280x720 with 6 cores at 4ghz I was getting 60fps, see my earlier test here: http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/947...=1#post4054351

However now, I get 54fps in the same situation. Also, it appears they've done something to the FoV or the camera location somehow, as I can't frame it exactly as I had it in Beta 3. I never did any definitive tests at higher resolution, but feels like it's running smoother than beta 3 did at 1920x1080(no aa/dof/ao), though that could be all in my head.

**Kylewhataru** · 2010-09-02 04:19

Are character shadows messed up for you? They don't look quite right...

Sorry all for the confusion, yes sli.

**Elites** · 2010-09-02 06:57

You sure you guys are getting constant close to 60 fps? My fps dips down to about 28ish when i'm near alot of people at town or even in certain cutscenes for some weird reason. This is on low 720p as well.

**Ferr** · 2010-09-02 07:06

Performance is near the same as Beta 3 for me.
I get slightly less stuttering but I also have slightly less fps (though maybe is because theres more people around). It still runs like shit inside the city (Limsa).

Also, Depth of Field have a more impact on fps for me than before, like +5 fps less in the outsides

**Elites** · 2010-09-02 07:25

If the gtx460 card isnt fixed for the game by now i highly doubt it ever will, debating if I should return this and get something else in favor? Spent about 260$ for the card so I can trade in pretty much anything of equal value from newegg. Which card is scoring above 4k on high around that price range atm? I'm on stock 3.4ghz 965BE phenom II x4 as well.

It's a shame because the gtx460 is a beast of a card in any other game except this one sadly.

**Ferr** · 2010-09-02 07:27

well gtx460 have some problems in other games too, I think (or hope xd) thats is just drivers issues, cause is a new card

**Jak** · 2010-09-02 08:43

Has anyone else with GeForce 470 card noticed a major decrease in performance in OB? I could barely muster 10-15FPS in town with no people around me. The cutscene at LL barely ran. Running outside is almost impossible! And what's weird is I actually have my graphics turned down a notch from what I ran in closed beta. Just wondering why my comp. is sucking all of a sudden.
