Devious Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, Does anyone know how a R9 290X would run SB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Just fine. I have a R9 270X and never have any frame rate problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Colossus Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Never any problems? The question and answer need to provide more context. For instance, my card is about 5 years old, and I never have any frame rate problems so long as I don't set the visibility slider to 18 km and go play in a large city. Any graphics card would have problems with that. It's going to depend on your screen resolution, the type of scenario you play (large, detailed maps with visibility increased will progressively tax any hardware), settings like AA and AF, ground clutter draw distance, or to use an extreme example, you can reduce the graphics to the point that Steel Beasts 3.0 graphically looks similar to Steel Beasts 1, and older cards will run it fine. Likewise, there has been discussion about how much of the shadow effects should be used assuming certain baseline graphics cards, but I found that discussion to be irrelevant in practice - on my five year old card, I run the shadows at full detail with no penalty, but then again, I run Steel Beasts at 1024 x 768, that is my preferred display resolution, so my experience may be different than others who run a different combination of settings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this thread and pick a comparable graphics card, then see the color code for the various scenarios as a rough guideline. Or you simply try out a one-month license and see for yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering how it would run on a 290X as it was not on that list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Performance comparison. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/graphics-cards/386182/amd-radeon-r9-290x-vs-nvidia-geforce-gtx-780 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted February 26, 2015 Members Share Posted February 26, 2015 Performance comparison.The gist of it, they are equally fast within the margins of unaided human perception. You can use the GTX 780 system as a reference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
