Far Cry 32 bit won't even load under XP x64. Far Cry 64 bit is amazing. Quality is very good and 1280x1024 runs so smooth. Wow. But... Doom 3 *looks* stupendous! Running in Ultra, everything cranked up, highest AA and 1280x1024-32 bits. I haven't seen a 64 bit version, but the normal install with the 1.1 patch runs fine. Stable as a slate top billiards table. Jerky and mushy mouse, though the image is incredible. I couldn't get it to look this good on the P4 with the 6800GT, but the X2 with 6800GT and 77.77_64 bit driver is impressive. I thought I'd be able to beat this bottleneck with this X2 and 6800GT AGP, and I didn't. Sigh... Framerate? At a guess, under 30...maybe under 20... McG.
