Lightspeed~SPARTA~ Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 EMT what card(s) are you running at the moment? and how much video memory? To be honest with the game release just 2 weeks away, I would wait and test the game with you current card and see how it performs - then you'll know if it's worth an upgrade. I've heard the engine is smooth and graffix incredible and you may find it's perfect as is - but if not then you look for the upgrade and make sure you have 1 gig of video memory so that you can run textures at highest quality.

andrewman~SPARTA~ Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The GX2 is second only to the GTX295 in real world tests, it should be sauntering through ARMA II with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMT~SPARTA~ Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 thanks guys, yea i just figured out that i had my video card on multi- display mode instead of multi- gpu mode...

SM_Fish Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I thought that I remembered reading that there would be an OFP2 demo released -- I'd really like to try it out before purchasing, so does anyone know if/when a demo is planned for?

MedicSN6 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Demo Codemasters had originally planned to distribute a playable demo before the game's release, but as of September 17, 2009, the demo has been delayed until after the retail game ships. The demo will be PC-exclusive and not be released for consoles. Representatives from Codemasters stated that the demo was delayed in order to ensure the game received as much polish as possible leading up to release day.[11] SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint_2#Demo If you ask me, it was delayed to boost pre-order sales and not shoot them selves in the foot for "gotta have it" or curiosity buyers who might have changes their minds after playing the demo pre-launch.

I want to be able to play this game on the max so i get the full experience... If you feel comfortable doing it--or if you know someone who could help you with it--I'd suggest overclocking your CPU. Even a small bump up to something like 2.6GHz would help with any processor-intensive game. Other than that, I can't see any reason why you won't be able to play OFP2 with settings at or near the highest quality levels. A buddy of mine runs the same video card, albeit with a faster processor, and all of his games look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have dled OPF 2 and have a 9800 GX2 with dual core (oced at 3.6) running at full high settings at 1370 x 720 resolution. Mission editor is not working for some reason with the Steam download.
