Without Fix vs With ATI DLL Fix Comparison

Did four quick benchmarks out of curiosity. Relevant details out of the way here:

CPU: i5 750 @ 4.2GHz
GPUs: 2x stock clocked 5870s, CrossFireX.
RAM: 8GB DDR3 2000

Anisotropic Filtering: 15 samples
Detail: Ultra
Vertical Sync: Yes
Resolution: 1600x1200
Screen Effects: HDR

Location: player stationary in corner of Ultra-Luxe dining room
NPCs present: 16

Benched With: Fraps, one minute each
Notes: Turned on god mode, and set FOV to 180 and backed into a corner to make sure everyone was in view, then pulled out a sawed-off shotgun so they all came at me waving their silly canes.

DLLFix|AA|Min|Avg|Max
No|4|24|31|40
No|8|23|29|36
Yes|4|59|64|65
Yes|8|60|64|65

The numbers speak for themselves. But actually experiencing the difference really shows how valuable that DLL fix is.

With the DLL fix I have encountered some instability and issues with task switching out of the game. Nothing major. It's worth it.

Edited for brevity and to add more info.

OM NOM NOM EATING YOUR FPS

games prolly locked it.

might be coz the games max fps is locked at 60 fps

It's not locked at 60fps. With V-Sync I max at 88FPS because my monitor is set to a 85MHz refresh rate. Without V-Sync I'm seeing a max of ~100FPS. This is with the ATI DLL Fix and settings as in post 376.

I'm guessing you max at 60 due to V-Sync and your monitor's refresh rate.

One thing I learned real quick in Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Mass Effect, etc....

Save!... A lot! I hit F5 like literally every min or so if not every 10 seconds.

crazyeyesreaper · Oct 26, 2010

yup wont give me my gear back even on a further back save in the casino before killing benny... when i had saved when cashing out my winnings walked out and no fucking gear this is killing me i do not and will not go back 10 + hrs just to have my fucking gear back i just wont finish the game this is game breaking to me right now

Annabelle the rocket launcher

CZ57 Avenger minigun with 4000 rounds of munition

All american with 1500 rounds 5.56 500ap and 500hp ammo for 2500 total

Gauss Rifle with 1000 rounds

Anti Material Rifle with 2500 rounds total

thats alot of stuff to loose magically

yup game breaking for me looks like im gonna shelve New Vegas and never bother to finish it granted i should have known this would happen after all i did buy Neverwinter Nights 2 + all expansions, I knew i should have just stayed away

Stak · Oct 26, 2010

In the console, player.additem $$$$$ ##, where $$$$$ is the id for the item you lost and ## is the quantity, will add that item back into your inventory. Just look for the IDs over at The Vault.

MoonPig · Oct 26, 2010

I reloaded the game and they we're there. Yey

That can be changed easily. Options!

Wow, for some reason that link killed my Chrome. Couldn't scroll, couldn't type, could only open new tabs and close Chrome.

razaron · Oct 26, 2010

i've got them maxed out but they still seem small.

I have every setting maxed; trees are okay but I notice the terrain fading a lot more in this game than I did in FO3; mostly things like boulders and rocky cliffs.

That said ... this game as well as FO3 are incredible achievements, given the environment, graphics, and performance considering what all needs to be rendered. Pardoning the need for the ATI DLL Fix, that is....

I'm really sorry! It works for me in Firefox 3.6.11, but anyway it's just a link to the famous Angry German Kid video on YouTube. :laugh:

Keep in mind the game is dynamically rendering the universe as you walk. You ask why you cannot see trees far away? Cause the game has yet to render them, and 30 deathclaws need to be rendered first, running towards you!

Any of you guys running with similar specs to my rig? if so what settings are you running at?

Might just be me but the graphics's are not as good as I was expecting, Seem's very laggy unless I run at a lower res with no AA etc, my drivers are all upto date - using 260s.

I guess it could also partly be down to playing Batman Arkham Asylum, which to me is very much eye candy
