Proof That X200m Can Handle F.e.a.r Well!!!

I play fear on medium with my x1400 and I get around 20-45fps, and the x1400 should be equal to the 7400. The res. was kinda low, but I had most of the effects on med, or high. The game played beautifully. Online play, on the other hand, was pretty bad. Dont know why, but the fps drops and there was a lot of lagging .

 

The human eye cant see more them 25 frames per second, problem with computer is that when it says 25fps its an avegare nummer of an period of time, meening that at some period it is both under and over that number, and when it ditchs under once in a while you notice.

 

Good going Fishy! I have no experience with x200, but I do with GMA900 and x200 is much better than that.
Overclocking in FEAR helps a lot (but of course not with x200) - so x700 can pull high settings on 800x600 (shadows and all). BTW shadows are the worst performance eater, then antialiasing. Anisotropic filtering is ok up to 4x. I even started fear on my old GMA900 and it worked! All on minimum, and in 640x480 - but I could play it reasonably fast (read barely enough) in the multiplayer. That was only the test though.

And only a small thingie about FEAR - I know people with x1600 that had much lower FPS than me on x700! I mean like 20 at most. And many people on many forums cry out loud about the bad FEAR performance even at smallest resolutions. Then I ask them if they have the xfire client? That program is great, but kills the FEAR framerate to the end. Other games run fine. I tried it in Vista with x1600 and the same issue happened - the slideshow of FEAR. No drivers, no settings, but the darn Xfire tries to use the ingame chat window and kills the framerate - so if you have it - just disable the xfire functionality for FEAR - and voila 50fps or more are back in game.

Jesus, Why do people want to hate on the x200m. I mean some people have better things to spend their money on than a costly computer. I mean im only.. what.. 16 years old and I dont think I would want to put in a whole month of work just so I could play games at the highest friggin settings. 2 people said I could only play oblivion at .5FPS (From what this guy said) and 1FPS. Well you can kiss my ass because my friend has a 2gb laptop with the x200m and he can run oblivion (with he oldblivion mod) at 15 - 20 fps from low - medium settings, or 40 fps if you want it to look like a piece of crap game. Otherwise its very playable on the x200m with a good amount of RAM to smooth it out..

 

x200m is still a good mobile integrated card my friend ran fear also but that was months ago lol

 

fear works even on intel 945gm integrated graphics.

 

Heres the video of me playing FEAR that I actually posted somewhere on this site a while ago.. As you can see the game runs very smooth at settings that are obviously NOT minimum!.. Also, as you are probably aware, FRAPS while being used to record an in game video impacts game fps by about 30%.. However as you can see from the game video, it is still very smooth even while running with Fraps...

And just so you know, that was me playing the FEAR Demo..! The actual full game runs FAR smoother than the Demo!..
