I just got a new computer with

ati radeon 4870 x2 graphics card


and I can play a game like Crysis at 1680*1050 (my screens max resolution) with all the settings to extra High with 4x AA and get a nice frame rate (around 30 frames or so) but a game like Fear, the performance is more around 8-15- Frames per second. anyone able to play fear on Vista?

I know this was a problem for most. I think turning off shadows could help, but I don't think a solution for it was found. I'm assuming you already tried running in compatibility mode and running as administrator. I have 64 bit Vista and haven't even dared to try running F.E.A.R. I have been surprised by the number of games that will run well on 64 bit Vista including old stuff like Grim Fandango with the right installer.

I did get Oblivion to run well so I can at least revisit a few of my older titles on the new PC.

Interesting info.

I just got my computer up and running after my mobo died and decided to switch to Vista 64-bit. I had just opened my F.E.A.R. Platinum collection yesterday, but had run out of time to install it to play Extraction Point. I had played the original game on my old XP computer, and it is one of my favorite games.

Maybe they'll fix the compatibility issues with the release of Project Origin.

I'll try installing it later today. I have Vista 64 Ultimate and have my box of FEAR lying around somewhere.
