Oh Oh! You make a very interesting mention here, Tim! What are the fps for a rig like yours, with the 780 in said Cutlass Tavern of Accursed Tower? How low do they drop and what's the average?

As for mine, I am on said 285 1gig with an i7 at 950 3.05 processor, with 6 gigs in RAM at 1330 latency. I run a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits system, so I am guessing we're running very similar gizmos and I could benefit from your experience with the 780, which I am more and more enticed to get!

[Tim.G]

mostly 60-80 fps with the occasional drop into the 40's. Generally better than the GTX295/I7 3.40 ghz that I play on. To be fair, nothing pulls down FPS like that screen. There's something about the Cutlass that chews up graphics cards.

I recently got a refurb EVGA GTX780 for one of the ASUS 3.4 GHZ rigs at home.  The GTX 280 it replaced was getting hot and causing graphics issues, what I call tearing.  If the EVGA software was used and the fan maxed out then it was good for 2-3 hours of Eye of the Beholder.  There's no real graphics improvement with the 780 but it is stable at any amount of playing time.

 

I've also got a Cyberpower 3.6ghz at work with a GTX770 that is very satisfactory.  I played around on a weekend just to see how it would handle NWN and it did very well.

Silly question but how do you find out the fps in NwN? I only ask because I recently replaced my radeon HD3870 x2 with a msi geforce gtx 750 ti. The 3870 x2 had 2 flying six pin leads while 750 ti has none and uses around 1/3 the power. The only drawback to that is that I've had to turn my room heating up to compensate (no really). Also, on paper at least, the 750 ti has around 5-6 times the graphics power of the 3870 x2. I do know that in the test/demo that comes with lost planet I'm getting an average fps of around 190-200 in the native resolution (1680x1050) for my monitor.

 

The rest of my system is CPU Intel Q9450 (quad core, 2.66 MHz), 4 gig ddr3 ram, asus p5e3 deluxe motherboard, win 7 home premium 32 bit dual boot win xp pro 32 bit.

The easiest way to do this is just to install FRAPS.  There are other ways, too, but FRAPS is the easiest and it's very accurate.

I just ordered a new laptop, and for the first time in my life I am about to be in the position of having a machine that is much more powerful than necessary for the majority of games I play. Can anyone point out where I can look for ways to try to max out the visual quality of NWN?

[OldTimeRadio]

Other than simply changing the options in NWN, itself, I think there are a few threads in the Custom Content forum where people have asked about graphical enhancements.  Other than overrides or NWShader, you're mostly going to be at the mercy of whatever custom content haks the module builder used. 

 

There's also the matter of making sure things are running smoothly on your end.  You might need to tweak some of your *.ini settings in order to improve performance and I've found, along with searching here, nwn.wikia.com or Google, that the Omnibus can be useful.  For instance, to learn more about settings such as "Max Memory Usage" nwnplayer.ini.

One of my NwN computers is mostly used for other stuff these days.  It's the ASUS 3.4 I7 with an EVGA 9800GT (with aux power input and audio cable).  Well the HDMI port gave up so I got an MSI GTX750ti 2gb card with HDMI output.  Before taking the 9800GT out I ran some FPS tests using a Daggerford save.  The 9800GT was fantastic with highs around 100 and lows around 50 on 1980x1020.  I put the GTX750ti in and let windows install software.  Results were poor.  High in the 60's, low in the 40's.  Biggest disappoinment, 1980x1020 didn't work.  The opening load screen flickers badly and the character boxes on the right and spellbar underneath all flicker during play.  Going down to 1600something resolution (one step back) it works fine.  I updated the drivers and the FPS came up into the 80's for the most part.  The flickering problem remains in 1980x1020 but goes away turning the resoltion back one step.  The whole rig does very well now with Netflix and the GTX750ti does seem to have a little more clarity than the 9800gt but the old card is still better for NWN.  It's not my primary gaming computer and none of it is a crisis, I just thought I'd pass it along.

Tim either there is a problem with the card or the drivers. I'm running an I5-3570 Ivy-bridge system with a GTX 770 4Gb with NVIDIA Drivers 350.12 at a Resolution of 1920x1200 on a 5ms IPS 24 inch monitor and everyting if fine and dandy. Maybe rollback driver versions and try that. Admitedly, I'm running on Windows XP, but last time I checked when I dual booted to Windows 7 64bit, it was running fine there too.

turns out in the Nvidia control panel there is a setting for the GPU to override the scaling.  I checked the GPU override and set it to scale to aspect ratio and it is very good.  Just a matter of finding time to tinker with it

[Jedijax]

Wait wait! Where is that, Tim? I have a resolution scaling issue (totally unrelated) and I think that may be the issue! I didn't find it in the per-program 3d specs...

[TimG]

it was in the tool section.  I'll look a little later tonight and try to give a more exact answer

[TimG]

on the "adjust desktop size and position screen" there's a check box under "apply the following settings" scaling

note this is not on all my pc's.  Just the one with the 750 card contol panel ver 8.1.850.00

[Jedijax]

Thanks, Tim! I managed to find it myself! I think the option is only present in Maxwell architecture cards, given I don't remember it from my older cards, and the resolution scaling issue wasn't present until very recently (probably when I got the new one). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to check if the NWN issue is solved yet. I will post once I do so!

 

Update: Unfortunately it didn't work in my particular issue. I'll explain, in case someone else is going through it. About the time I got my first 200 series Nvidia, and a 32" lcd I use as a monitor, I tried to up the resolution of the game, but found out beyond a certain mix, multiple options that looked the same came about. By this, I mean, you get 1440x768 about 5 times in a row, with no discernible reason or difference to them until you actually select and try them all. This goes for most of over 1024 res options. That, in itself, wouldn't be a problem, were it no for the fact once you select the higher res options, the game stretches the image in order to fit the screen and everything looks horribly dwarvish and fat (this, because it stretches horizontally). I had hoped de-selecting the override scaling in the Nvidia control panel would fix it, but alas, it didn't!
