    does this look about right?

    Optimal quality from ATI display settings

    1600x1200
    AF x16
    AA x4

    Ultra
    32.1 FPS second pass

    Marclar, 125 fps only makes a difference in Quake3, Doom 3's physics run at 60 "ticks" per second regardless of frame rate. 60fps solid with 120hz should look cool. There are ways to up the frames aswell though.

    Run in developer mode to unlock the fps limit.

    Sapphire 9800Pro flashed to XT
    AA x4
    AF x16
    1024x768
    High

    1st: 39.9
    2nd: 45

    Not too bad.

    <edit>
    and with a little more overclocking on the 9800 to 427.5/405 ( from 411.75/364.5, perfectly stable) it got to 47.5 on the second test (from 42.6)

    Hmm, how does the 60fps "Cap" interact with the your scores of 74fps... ??

    Are you getting any artifacts and is everything stable?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,046 ✭✭✭BKtje


    There is no cap on 60fps in the timedemo. If you try it on low 640 you'll see it yourself. I got over 70 at that res/quality.

    Sapphire 9600XT running latest Omega drivers

    Second run = 28.9fps
    1024x768-high detail
    AA x2

    Ahh I see.

    Im getting 39fps (one run only, so +5 for second run?) on

    1280x768 WideScreen, with FOV set to 105 (more onscreen to slow down FPS)
    1024MB DDR@430
    A64 at 2.4GHz
    FX5950 at 556MHz Core, 1.01GHz Memory

    Yes, perfectly stable and no artefacts at XT speeds. Only played for a bit with the additional overclock, and it also seemed fine, but the gpu was getting mighty hot :)

    are you using an artic cooler?


  • Registered Users Posts: 771 ✭✭✭Sir Random


    1600x1200, 'Ultra' game setting.
    4xAA, 8xAF, drivers at 'Quality'

    1st: 37.2
    2nd: 44.6

    Lowering the settings makes very little difference, so I reckon the cpu is the bottlekneck. It averages around 56fps in the labs and corridors, heavy action drops it to ~32fps

    well i got the game today and tis class got too run the game at low tho :confused: little problem pooie computer but it will be fine also i noticed if u run everything low and at 640x480 the game runs like poo but if u up it too 800 x 600 its better Why ? :D but i aint complaining but Why ?

    Athlon 1.1ghz (non XP)
    Sapphire Radeon 9600 non pro 256mb
    1024mb SDRAM133

    0xAA, 2xAF

    Yeah, the Arctic VGA Silencer. This baby.

    I think this is definately worth a shot for all ATI USERS ONLY. This Tweak gives a nice performance boost on all ATI cards. I went from 32fps to 39 fps on my 9600pro, which i believe is a 20% increase. Thats not to shabby at all.

    A replacement shader. How quaint. Look worse I assume? Then again, on low end PC's it is probs very welcome.
