How will Just Cause 2 run?

[sean473]

Horrible.... Just... Horrible.

Thank God for my i7 920 - HD 5850 - 6GB RAM, desktop computer

Show off... it should run allright on 1280X800... i used high settings and even AA and ran quite well...

It's an Eidos game. There is the biggest hint. Eidos pretty much sworn off PC gaming and only focuses on console.

It runs OK with my laptop with high detail/texture but with some of the effects turned off.

The mouse lag is ridiculous though. The framerate is steady 35-45 usually, but again, mouse lags horrifically.
- Some say you need high FPS for mouse to function correctly. I just think it's terrible console port. On the 360 it runs a steady 30FPS with no turning lag or aiming issues.

Console port through and through It's been noted the aiming and gun control etc are pretty broken for PC as it's really made for console players, massive amounts of auto-aim interference. For example, even when you have the crosshair directly on a person while on a car, you will COMPLETELY miss. Seems for direct hits registering, game needs auto-aim in effect like in console, but for PC since you turn that off, it just won't register... Or something like that. It's just broken.

But the thrill of jumping from car to car and whatnot is fun, I guess makes up for the above?

Has no mouse lag in demo but this is an awesome game..

Runs at 30-35 fps at 1280x720, low shadows, no aa, no ssao everything else on highest setting or on. I tried overclocking my card to stock clocks and it ran pretty much the same with 1600x900 and a bit more things turned on. Mouse lag sucks though.

use a controller, its fine then ( i havent tried a mouse)

Show off...

Yes.

Runs brilliantly well here - maybe it's an Nvidia advantage?

Getting a minimum of 30FPS in crowded stronghold takeovers at worst and a speedy 50FPS while flying at 1600x900 with 2x AA, no SSAO or Vysnc and everything else maxed (with shadows on medium).

[be77solo]

Yes.            

Seriously REB!, I think HORRIBLE is your word of the day ha...

no, this game does not run horrible on a decent machine... it's runs great on my MX11, and that thing has a relatively slow CPU running at a whopping 1.3ghz.... Was actually pleasantly suprised with how well this game ran and was optimized for DX10. I was proud of Edios on this particular game.

EDIT: OK, just for comparison and to test ATI gpu's, I ran the dark tower benchmark on my G73. It scored 50.7fps average using native 1600x900, high textures,objects,shadows,water, 2xAA, no AO Looked great and appeared totally smooth

What do you get with the same settings I used for the Concrete Jungle Benchmark?
