Far Cry 360/PC Comparison

Teamxbox has put up a video that compares water effects between the PC version on ultra-high and the upcoming 360 version. Supposedly the 360 version looks a bit better.

Darn. Where?

Can the pc 1.3 version handle hdr +4XAA ?
I mean that every benchmark i found is 8XAF + HDR OR 4XAA + 8XAF.
Like this one :
http://www.techreport.com/reviews/2005q2/geforce-7800gtx/index.x?pg=7

GeForce 7800GTX - 1280X1024 - 4xAA+8xAF = 65 f/s (tr3-pier)
GeForce 7800GTX - 1280X1024 - HDR+8XAF = 50 f/s (tr3-pier - r_hdrrendering 7)

why not 4XAA + HDR ?

wild stab...cause 7800 can't do both HDR and AA simultaneously?

I posted it, but since people wanted to play my dick is bigger than yours it got closed. The water in FC 360 looks beautiful enough to swim in.

Good luck to your thread.

Yeah that game seems to be all the rage these days.

Yes maybe this is the reason. The same reason that FEAR engine doesn't permit soft sadows & AA at the same time : performance hit.

EDIT: I m curious to see if the final 360 veersion will have AA.

It looks really good up close, but it also looked like there was a relatively close boundary where the shader cut off (IE it looked like the PC water shader extended farther out into the horizon). Also the splash effects from the bullets really ruined how nice the water looked.

In some ways the water is "different" than the PC version, in that the PC version looks much calmer. Still, over all the effect is more impressive until you start shooting at it.

I wonder if they'll bring the xbox360 shader to the PC. Doesn't really seem like there's any reason they couldn't.

Wow! While I can't wait to check this glorious patch out with my own eyes (first I've ever heard of it), I'm now more confused about my own PC hardware than I ever have been before: I thought that G70 could not handle, for one reason or another, FP HDR (al la the method that's used in Far Cry, as opposed to say Source's integer method), period?

Someone enlighten me here please, HDR can definately be one of the most confusing CG techniques to get your head around...

Regarding the X360 game, that water certainly looks incredible imo. If it looks as good as the screenies good on my monitor and the game plays as good as the PC original, I'm sold .

Patch version 1.4 enable's both at the same time

And, id say the 64bit version of Far Cry looks better than the 360 version IMO

Agreed, that doesn't look all that great. The 360 shots I have seen look better.

Isn't it a tad silly comparing a 2-year old PC game to a new console?

Not when people like me were initially complaining how small of a jump Farcry 360 looked compared to the original PC/XBox versions...video's proved me wrong, it is a nice jump.

What's really silly is being so biased against a piece of hardware you honestly believe a 2year old PC game with HDR looks better than a new console game (eVo!-X Ant UK i'm looking at you!)

The patch will run on all video cards, that does not mean that nvidia's card will be able to run AA with HDR.

Oh makes sense. Yeah, really, some people....
