Max Settings on a GT 740M

Unread postby bpetit » Mon Oct 05, 2015 12:40 am

So, just for fun I wanted to see how well the card would cope (or burn up *!lol!* ) with everything at max. I used the FEF-3 and the RWA route. What I got was interesting to say the very least. Anyway from 30fps to 40fps which surprised me. I was expecting it to be much, much lower. I just wanted to share this experience.

You got away with that, because it was on the RW&A.
Try that on a crowded section of Donner and see what happens.

Are you gentlemen just trying to cause trouble? !*roll-laugh*! He stated a simple fact and you have to find a way to be downers. I'm running a 760 and had to back it off a bit to run The Racetrack. What is your point?

Did you have the anti aliasing stuff pushed wide open also? I'm curious what settings others are using there?

Don't even know if my card has such a thing. *!lol!* I just push all the sliders on the main part to max.

You even have settings in Nvidia Control Panel. Just right click on your desktop to open it.

Meh, I'm one of the few who can handle the Racetrack and Stevens just fine... with only onboard graphics. !*roll-laugh*!
