Anyone with ATI card can play huge map?

[阿里巴巴]

Mine is 9800se. It locks up after game loading for any huge maps.
I got many players' complains in another forum those have ATI cards.
I want to confirm if it is a problem for all ATI cards.

I have a 9800 XT and I've completed a couple games and have had no problems graphically or whatsoever with the game so far.

i have an x850xt PE and have had no problems on the largest map. it's the only map i've used so far...

I really hope I had your guys' cards.
I can only play standard maps.
pity...

ATI Radeon 9800XT. Huge maps work perfectly.

Radeon X800 XT and huge maps are a beautiful thing to behold.

9800 PRO on my side, playing a huge map at the moment with no problems - catalyst 05.8.

How much RAM you got out of interest?

 

[SnowyFox]

Yup. I have a 256MB Radeon x600 card with HyperMemory, 1GB RAM. I tested it against a Huge map size, fully revealed, 12 civs in 2000AD, and placed cities and units randomly everywhere with the Map Editer. I put the graphics settings down to medium, though. Render quality was high, globe quality was low, and I turned off anti-aliasing.

Lag?

Oh yeah. Turns took about three seconds to complete, I got about 15-20fps zoomed in, and about 10-15fps at the global view. Better than the problems I've heard some people are having. Still, I'm more than happy to see the game playing smoothly (no CTDs ) on a Large map, 5+ civs, and on high gfx settings. Good luck, and may the patch be released soon.

x800 pro, 1600x1200, 4x AA and everything runs smoothly

Radeon 9800 XT here, running at 11..something, it's big, at 4xAA. Everything's relatively smooth. Smoke's a problem sometimes but not a big deal. Played on the largest map size, never had a problem.

Does graphic card play any influence on what map you play? I'd expect CPU and RAM to be the ones to bog down games on huge maps, but not graphics.

funny i have a 9600xt and i can run this game perfectly.......my system is amd 64 3500+ (939 socket) and 1 gig ddr400

Old Radeon 9200 w/128 MB of memory and old drivers (updated once about 21 months ago) and everything works perfectly so far, although things get a little slow and wheezy as time progresses. I'm sure no expert, but my guess is these performance issues are not directly related to graphic card quality. We sure need a patch to help performance for many of us.
