I couldn't imagine playing NFS, or any game for that matter on a DX8 card. The lowest I would go (which I have in my spare gaming rig) is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (or equivalent). The Ti4200 series was great for its time, but with the latest games that support DX9, there is no comparison.Dude, i use 4 years old vga and graphics is still Shocked .
I use nVidia Ti4200 128mb, very onld but still effective for me.
So if youre buying new vga, just make sure to choose one with atleast pixel and vertex shaders v1.1., that will greatly boost ure graphics. Smile
Vsync is Vertial Synchronization which means your FPS (Frames per second) will be limited to the number of your current monitors Refresh Hertz (60 is default and so on vsync would limit your fps to only 60 even if you had the power to run the game with better fps).2furio wrote:I have a question, what do Vsync and Over Bright contribute to the graphics of the game? I've tried on/off and I don't see any difference. Maybe someone could enlighten me with some screens.
Thanks a lot. I know the "Over Bright" in UG2 and I noticed the effects in the game because it was night time but because MW is day time, I didn't see any difference in graphics. Plus, it's already too bright.Cargozer wrote:Vsync is Vertial Synchronization which means your FPS (Frames per second) will be limited to the number of your current monitors Refresh Hertz (60 is default and so on vsync would limit your fps to only 60 even if you had the power to run the game with better fps).2furio wrote:I have a question, what do Vsync and Over Bright contribute to the graphics of the game?

so my recommendation, Vsync --> Off
Overbright, well i dont know how to explain it so well, but in NFSU2 it had a "shiny and bright light" -effect, know what i mean? For example, when you look at your ride and the edge is so shiny you cant see a shiznit, or when you come out of dark tunnel and your screen is a firetruck bright, thats overbright. IMO overbright makes car look not-so-good, It also, of course, eats the power from your graphics card and lowers your fps, altough making it look good (although not all like it).
My decision for myself would turn overbright --> Off
Overbright does do something. Imagine it like a cheap ripoff of HDR from HL2. It does the same thing sort of.2furio wrote:

Oh...it's like when you exit a tunnel, it is really bright for a while and then it adjusts. My bad, I never knew that was affected by Overbright. In my opinion, it is really useless and annoying.korge wrote:Overbright does do something. Imagine it like a cheap ripoff of HDR from HL2. It does the same thing sort of.2furio wrote:
