Max Payne

Hunter · 21st April 2002, 01:37

I know this didn't need to be started but I thought what could it hurt. I loved playing Max Payne, Well here comes the movie. I can't wait to see the special effects. I even like the character, but who will play Max???

Nice!

I think A younger blend of Tommy Lee Jones, Bruce Willis, and the start of The Bourne Identity movie (Cant remeber his name right now).

Martin Cummins, resembles Max and stars as the "bad guy" in Dark Angel. a couple screengrabs looks even like the video game

I played Max Payne but deleted it cos its really awkward to control when he turns. its not smooth. i have a 64mb gefroce 2 mx 400 so it shouldnt affect anything. Its fine everwhere else. I hate the little movie thingys. they go on too long!!

thats not the greatest video card for the game....

it's recommended requirements should be a gforce 3 and a 1200Mhz processor or better

apollos · 21st April 2002, 08:07

Ah. I probably need more RAM too. i only have 128mb.

Atmo · 21st April 2002, 08:18

I managed to play it through on a MX400....only a few hiccups and i was using 800x600 32bit color with anti-aliasing and trilinear filtering turned on...it ran perfect at 640x480.

Sounds like your system might need some tweaking inatlantis.....download 3dMark 2001 and run that, then compare your results against systems with similar specs.

whiteflip · 21st April 2002, 09:57

a couple yettabytes of ram would suit me nice.

fwgx · 21st April 2002, 12:01

So they're making a film of a game that was based mostly on a film

cool

Hunter · 21st April 2002, 15:21

That's cool 'cause I never say the film that the game was based on

Atmo · 21st April 2002, 15:58

It was based on a film??? It had moments that looked like the matrix but thats about it...

Ah, so what your trying to tell me is that i shouldnt run it on 1280 x 960 res!

Thank for the advice

Atmo · 21st April 2002, 16:46

You should be able to run it at that if the cards overclocked a bit...might get 5fps if you're lucky...

ah... doesn't overclocking damage the card??

Atmo · 21st April 2002, 17:45

Not if youre sensible and test each increase in clock/ram speed. Some cards are better for overclocking than others...but i manages to go from a 2600 to 3310 3dMark 2001 score from tweaking and overclocking...

Not fantastic scores, but not a bad increase for $0

Theres plenty of info out there...do a google search and im sure you'll find some info and programs to make overclocking easier...

Nvmax, powerstrip etc. all work well and are really easy to use

2600 to 3310?? I have a Geforce 2 MX 400. What is a sensible value to which I could overclock too. If im talking shit tell me cos I no NOTHING about overclocking. Thank you!

p.s. That 2001 program thingy will take 1.39hours so I will wait till 2moro when ive got hwk then get it then cos my ISP disconnects me every 2 hours so i cant afford to go on WA aswell to slow down the connection!

Inatlantis - You can get 3DMark2001SE off magazine coverdisks - I got it off this months PCGamer (DVD edition only I think) but there are bound to be others as well.

BTW - I average 5000 points without overclocking

edit: The record for my card is nearly 10,000 - but those bastards must have liquid nitrogen cooling or something
