Supreme Commander Benchmark on 2x Intel SSD X25-M Postville 80GB in Raid 0

[doublehelix109]

if this is a benchmark wats the result so thears something to compare....?

[QinX81]

@doublehelix109 This isn't a benchmark to compare graphics or CPU power.

it was merely to illustrate the fast loading times of the SSDs. SupCom doesn't give scores for loading times.

1st fail is the fact that you play forged alliance

2nd fail is the fact that you play seraphim

win is that you show how you can use 2 screens, looks awesome somehow^^

im not a hater, i just dont like the add on of supreme commander, sry for that

well play if you like it, i play supcom witzout addon and you play with, who cares^^

and maybe i was wrong that you play seraphim, but the loading screen shows the faction you chose, maybe it was just randomized.. i dont know ^^

pls no thmbs down...lol

@PSChrisDC

That's in fact two fails for you:

The red units are clearly Cybran and the blue ones UEF. You can switch between faction interfaces as you wish.

And FA is much much better than vanilla SupCom. You need to get used to it of course, playing the first few games feelss arkward, but that wears off fast. I would not want to miss the new units of each faction (I don't care about Seraphim, though), improved TMLs etc. Game balance is alot better. You just need a while to realize that.

[QinX81]

@Puschit1 Well balanced? I play a lot of skirmish, and by far the new Aeon experimental building gives you unlimited building capacity, talk about overpowered :P

[Puschit1]

@QinX81

Skirmish aganist AI or real players? ;)

And I thought we were talking about the transition of the vanilla experimentals to FA, not about the new ones.

[QinX81]

@Puschit1 against AI, I never play RTS games versus real players. I'm talking about SCFA in general, It has better balance except for the experimentals still.

[Puschit1]

@QinX81

Battles against AI don't count - AI is dumb and the balance is of course geared to matches between human vs human. And in those you just don't have enough time to build Experimentals in vanilla SC because you are dead before you finish one.

For games vs AI, yeah, the Paragon (resource geenrating Experimental) is imba, then again, against the AI, you win anyway, so I don't see the point. I usually restrict myself and just don't build Paragons against the AI.

@PSChrisDC LoL a bit of late response from my part, but in my defense I don't play Seraphim, I started the ingame benchmark which automatically choose the Seraphim loading screen.

@PSChrisDC 0_o

How can you say that? I'm not being rude, because that's just your opinion, but Forged Alliance is better than SupCom 1 in EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY. Faster action, better balance, more units, more maps, better graphics, and an infinitely better campaign.

I don't know how you can prefer SC 1. :o

[PSChrisDC]

@ShamusZ3R0 if u prefer FA its okey, but for me vanilla (SC1) is better

though FA has one or 2 good features, but thats in fact everything :/

in my opinion the balance is worse.. maps, well ok ur right... graphics did not chance, cause its just an addon.

an the hell with the campaign, its fail in both SC1 and FA :D

its ok that you prefer FA and i do SC1

stay cool, mate ;)

[ShamusZ3R0]

@PSChrisDC Lol :p I don't agree with the campaign being crap, though. In FA it has HUGE battles on awesome maps.

[Stiltsmcadams]

The only thing that would impress me will be someone playing that same map, but with the maximum amount of players possible without the computer bogging down even after 2 hours or so

[DuBB3R]

how do u get the benchmark to run. i read that u have to put "/perf" at the end of the target in the shortcut but i cant get it to work with forged alliance. is it cuz its for original supcom?

[QinX81]

I made a new video showing how to make de benchmark in SCFA work.
