Frame Rate Test Results

[Sean]

I've attached the results of the scenario test. Thanks to Manteuffel, Tarball, Kingtiger, Wharborg and Volcano for participating. Only a couple of people with the new nvidia cards participated so unfortunately we don't know what the problem with that card is. Probably poorly written drivers.

EDIT: Added new results.

Interesting results in that test... I will see if I can make time to test out my system and send you the frame rate specs...

I am running a

Vista 64

AMD Athlon X2 dual core 5600+ 2.80ghz

w/ 3GB ram

and a Nvidia 8800GTX card.

My resolution on everything is 1400X900.

On average in SB Pro PE, I get around 40FPS. But slows down when lots of dust or smoke to somewhere in the high teens low twenties.

May take a while before I run these tests... got to clear off some HDD space... to much junk on my HDD right now.

Very interesting, what scenario was used? I like to see how my system compares.

Thats one strange result, the FPS in Vista is nearly 2 times slower. Only the fast rendering of thick woods made the Overall FPS quite high.

P.S. screenshots attatched.

Keep in mind that the test is intended to be ran with default slider positions and no extra AA and AF on. But it looks like 20 fps in the built up area isn't too bad considering your the level of detail your sliders are set to, the extremely high resolution, and AA and AF settings. As usual it just comes down to what to compromise on for more fps...

Isn't this kinda bad for a system rated at 5.5? :frown:

Hi Banshee,

I would think that Vista 64 and Nvidia ist quite a bad combination for SB at the moment. If you look at my test results above, you can see a dramatical fps hit on Vista64. I'll retry the Vista test with some older drivers when i get home from work.

I see what you are saying. Just found it kind of weird seeing my "bench mark" for SB PE when this computer can play Crysis maxed out. LOL

I know - but in the rest of maps I have with the same 62 adjustments fps, I cannot be discontent.

I have forced AF, AA, VSync etc. from NVControl panel and now have not time to change profile.

Hi

This is my result. Some of the Fps readings where a bit hard to do. A very slight adjustment of the view direction could give big drops or slight increases. The result in game play would anyhow be extremely erratic fps.

I did the test in low resolution 1024 x 768 and with no AA or AF, sliders at default.
