@L4D2ownage

Does anyone know what a BENCHMARK is?

[L4D2ownage]

@toutagamon I do well ok fraps takes resources :/

[Satyr910]

i currently have an ATI radeon x1300 pro 256mb :P lool

[Satyr910]

lol ive got all my settings turned down to medium, with a few of em on high, and still only get about 8-11 FPS :( i used to have decent performance when it first came out but now its shit! cant remember what the resolution is mind i think it kinda of standar res. ive ordered a 1gb ATI hd 4350(my comp can run higher end cards) to try and boost performance but we'll see.

[conqueronline69]

I've got a 4870X2, a Q9550 and 4GB 800 Ram, Windows 7 RC. Hopefully i get 60fps + fps, If not i'll just OC to 3.2ghz

[SeCALPHA1]

are you running Steam or retail version?

My Specs:

Phenom II 955 black

4870 X2

4gb ddr3 Corsair 1033

I'm running on an LG W2361VG 23" screen @ 1920x1080 60hz and I cant seem to get my fucking benches past an "average framerate" of 34~46fps. It keeps fucking up and saying "out of range" when I switch my res.

[toutagamon]

Retail version.

You should get a much better score with that setup. Unless this game does not like AMD cpus. Game developers are the biggest bastards of the world you know. They are the new age harlots actually, taking money from everyone and screwing the rest.

Try 1920X1080 @ 59hz!

[Ironwind1972]

Try setting your refresh rate to the lowest possible setting.

[pujan009]

@SeCALPHA1 turn off V Synv from your nvidia control panel or Catalyst which ever applicable. i got 120 fps with all high/ultra setting with 1280x1024 res. and 434fps with all low/off setting

[Mrgoose87]

u should turn model detail all the way up

[toutagamon]

Yeah i know. I forgot. Nothing changes anyway. The game still runs at 60fps throughout. What i need to do, is find out why it doesn't obey my novsync selection in both the game and catalyst!

[szoko173]

Hmm. I have:

GPU:Gigabyte Radeon 4850 512MB

CPU:AMD Phenon X2 550 Black Edition

MOBO:Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P PCI-E s.AM3

And Vista. Will this game go smoothly in Dx10 and highest details?

[toutagamon]

I think it will be ok. Maybe you should not use AA though!

[szoko173]

Thx :)

BTW nice vid and nice computer ;)

[toutagamon]

Lol, thanks!

[beave444]

i got the exact same benchmark results :) i dont fell they are what they should be though :S

[sieglines]

disable vsync

[NickRichardsExeter]

what cpu u got?

[toutagamon]

At this video it was a Q6600@3600. At my newer video, it's a Q9550@4.1Ghz! Not much difference as you can see. Although i used 8XAA on the newer video, it run almost the same, if not better, but this is purely due to the 4870X2's power!

[goakiller900]

weird i got a Q9400 and the 4870x2 and run the same settings but i got over 150FPS

+ 4 gig of mem

[toutagamon]

How do you unlock the fps cap?

[goakiller900]

Fps cap didnt know about that but just installed and run the game and probably i get higer fps now becouse i got a new 300$ audio card

removing the audio from the cpu

[toutagamon]

Dude, a super expensive audio card gives nothing to a quad core system. You just wasted a perfect 300$!

[goakiller900]

i know i just said that it removed the audio processing from the quad core and moved to the card

and i still don't know how it happened

[sieglines]

turn off vsync

[toutagamon]

It is turned off. It is forced off from Catalyst. For some strange reason, it had no effect. I don't know if it is corrected in the newer drivers.

[Noliving]

Too bad its not at max settings considering the model detail was only at half way point.

[toutagamon]

It runs the same at max model detail but i am not making another video for this. ;)

[Noliving]

Sure it runs the same......

[toutagamon]

Yeah! Sure! I uploaded a new video for you to see with ultra settings and 8XAA too. Next time i tell you something, please don't challenge me!

[Noliving]

Oh! Your the best!

[Noliving]

There was a difference, your min. frame rate went up by 8 fps to 31fps in that other video.

[toutagamon]

That's nothing really. What matters the most is the average. You can get a 10fps minimum in whichever benchmark, that could last for 0.01 sec and still be measured. How is that indicative of the true performance?

Anyway, my point was that even with Ultra and 8XAA the performance remained solid, as was my initial argument.

[Noliving]

Minimum is what matters the most. You can have an average of 60 fps but then have a 10 minute gameplay zone out of the entire game where it is 10 fps and that ruins that part of the game. If you have a high minimum you don't really have to worry about your average or you max fps. If your min, is lets say 50fps you could probably careless what your average or max is.

In terms of importance it goes Min, Average, Max.

[toutagamon]

You are missing my point again. Ok. If we take as an example a gameplay time of 10 mins, in which 5mins runs at 110 fps and 5 mins runs at 10 fps, then we would have an average of 60fps, but indeed the 5 mins of 10fps would be god awful. In that example yes i agree with you that the overall experience would be shit. That just doesn't happent though. Min framerate values are most of the time down spikes.

You are taking the conversation to another subject though.The point here is the new COH vid!

[freekyass]

i get the same performance with a 9800GTX

[XxJohnCenaxX]

lol im running it with a Q9400 (3.4ghz) and a HD4870x2 with 4 gigs of ram , spectactular games with cheats xD

[downloadgoblin]

rofl ati..

[ninjairoc]

I can't wait to get this card and run it with Company of Heroes on Ultra. Do you think it'd perform even better with the Q9650 and 4GB 1600 Ram?

Also, what are you using to see the FPS all the time in the top left corner of the screen?

[toutagamon]

Q9650 is great. Much better than the Q6600 is used for that video. I have a Q9550@4.1Ghz but no DDR3 for me, thank you! Too costly for no performance gain in games! :P

You can see the fps with fraps or Atitool.

[gregb11385]

I love this game!!! Nice setup.

[pilster123]

Okay thanks anyway mate I apprieciate your help hopefully I will get decent gameplay.

[pilster123]

would my dual core be ok because i ran the demo and it ran fine but the video card when i ran the demo was an 8400gs lol now you can see why i need to upgrade.

[toutagamon]

Depending on the dual core. Not all dual cores are the same!

[pilster123]

So this is more cpu demanding? then video card?

[toutagamon]

The video card is more important as always, but the CPU seems to have a large say for that specific game. Quads seem to run it better.

[pilster123]

i thought the 4850 was a good card thou so can 1 not run this on max

[toutagamon]

It is great card for it's price. I only said it managed 35.5 fps on that benchmark. This game is a strategy so you wouldn't need more. CFX would do much better i guess.

[pilster123]

Sorry I meant 2 ati 4850s would they be able to max this out because I dont know?

[toutagamon]

Well what i can say for sure is that the 4850 gave out 35.5 fps in that test. I don't know if two of them can scale that great though.

[pilster123]

hey would my 2 ati 4840s be able to run this at max?

[Chibling]

Turn up the model detail :). The game is my favourite and in DX 10 it looks noticeably better.

[toutagamon]

Will do, next time.

[amsdaefaehf]

ok , now i defo want hD4870x2 for christmas xD , 60fps all way thru man.

[toutagamon]

60fps+++ is the case on most games at very high res too! :)

[amsdaefaehf]

ye i think im gonna get the HD4870x2 and TX750 corsair psu for christmas (well me mum n dad can buy it :P)and for bday a E8400 and P45UD3R

Maybe Q8200 or Q6600 not sure yet

[toutagamon]

Just to be on the safe side, i would suggest to go or a Quad. It seems to me that upon installing the 4870X2 the cpu usage is more than 50% when playing games, hence more than two cores of my Q6600 are used!

[amsdaefaehf]

oh , ok :) what d you recomend a Q8200 or Q6600?

[toutagamon]

Hmmm...good question, difficult answer. Q8200 has 4MB of L2 cache while Q6600 has 8MB. In my understanding L2 cache is quite important in gaming but then again, 4MB might be more than enough.

Q6600 is 65nm while Q8200 is 45nm, so less heat, less power consumption.

SSE 4.1 is only available on Q8200 so if you are interested in video encoding you might see better speed there.

Q6600 is EOLed in Q1/2009 so you might not like the idea of buying a dying CPU. Anyway i'm pretty happy with my Q6600!:D

[g36c1]

what procesor do you have and how much memory???

[toutagamon]

I already answered that a few posts back but i understand that most people do not read back sometimes! This is not a forum after all!

This video was recorden on a Q6600@3600 with 4GBs of RAM.;)

[bangerbeavis]

Try Turning V sync off u cap at 60 std refresh rate

[toutagamon]

Yes yes i know! It was off, believe it or not! There must be some Catalyst glitch with the vsync of this game! Oh well, as long as it runs at 60fps it's OK! :D

[Attikah]

i have 4gb ram geforce 9600 gt and amd 5600 dual core cpu with a 22 inch hp and i got average 80 fps maximum 181 and minimum 62 and i have all my settings at HIGH NOT DIRECT3D 10 for some reason my computer doesnt wanna play dx10 style when im fully capable of it =p

[samardj]

use camtasia cause yor videos are a suck...

[toutagamon]

Well i wouldn't say they suck but they could use some improvement. Quality was not the goal here. I just wanted to show the fps the 4870X2 is capable of, in all my videos.

I don't want to use a program because it will hinder my PCs performance. There are other options i'm working on, though! ;)

[petemyster101]

how come you have you model detail half way? you have 4870x2, surely it could manage :D

[toutagamon]

Yes i believe it would! :P

I did some settings mistakes in my benchmarks/videos but i will redo them at some point! ;)

[geminio11]

α ρε πατριδα περιμενω τις επομενες μερες να ρθει η Asus p5e για να στησω το pc τα υπολοιπα ειναι: q6600 sapphire 4870x2 g.skill 2x2 gb 1000mhz scythe mugen(infinity) cpu cooler nzxt tempest airflow king 640gb wd hard disc elpizo na xo idies epidoseis me sena esi gia ta 3.6 tou q6600 poia cpu cooler exeis? k ti temps?

Σου έστειλα PM.:)

[BlackVen0m]

lol at 3:04 the picture like stod still for a splitt sec..no diffrence in FPS ,bug? anyway nice vid ! ;D

[toutagamon]

LOL indeed. Didn't notice before. Actually this is my mobile's recording fault not the computer's.

[feche86fge]

ok,thanks for you help ;)

[feche86fge]

update: in 2weeks i will have the HD4870x2 :D

do u think with my processor C2D E8400 3.0ghz runs Crysis All in Very High,1680x1050 without AA and AF with good fps?

[toutagamon]

Yes absolutely.

No AA but definitely 16XAF, no problem.:)

[feche86fge]

oh and,60fps STUCK?! O.O

man, u rock

in 4 weeks i will have the Sapphire HD4870X2

[toutagamon]

You'd better get one soon!:P I will post a huge test of the 4870X2 in vr-zone in a couple of days.

Be sure to check it out. ;)

[feche86fge]

what processor do U have?

sory for my bad english

[toutagamon]

Q6600@3600.

Your English is fine! ;)
