8800GTS 320MB Performance 580/950

1280x720 AAx4 AFx16 HDR Medium, everything else default
Snow
50FPS AVG

Cave
45FPS AVG

1360x768 AAx4 AFx16 HDR Medium, ALL OPTIONS DEFAULT.
Snow
47FPS AVG

Cave
44FPS AVG

So it shows that I made a good choice on the 320MB for the price, for my setup at least. I think the fire was tacky.

I did the DX10 version on 8800GTS (640mb), 158.43, Vista 64-bit, and E6600 @ 3.6

Default (1280x720): Stock/OC
Snow: 46/57 fps
Cave: 64/69 fps

Edit: Okay these new drivers have some issue with overclocking for me. And it doesnt seem to scale much higher with overclock settings at 650/900. And couldnt get fraps or printscreen to work with fullscreen so I had to use window snipe.

Going to try the DX9 version and DX10 versions with an 8800GTS 320MB when it gets here on Friday, should be interesting to see the differences.

There's a bug in the DX9 demo, people are reporting lockups with it.

[afireinside]

I've been having similar issues with a few other games at times also so I wasn't sure.

[IKIKUINTHENUTZ]

Does this mean we have something that we can actually temporay bench on for 8800s or r600s dx10 capabilities? (until 3dmarks 07 comes)

:woot:

[m0da]

Not sure. In the other news thread about this game being benched w/r600 and 8800gtx, the site said the nVidia drivers have been optimized for this game and the AMD/ATi drivers were still... well, not really optimized for anything \=

[cadaveca]

HD2900XT, Q6600, 4GB PC6400

DEFAULT SETTINGS, 8.36 driver, DX9 version

SNOW: 82
CAVE: 76

[96redformula7]

Guys I am noticing a HUGE PATTERN HERE. If I go into the PC Settings and change anything, even lower shadows or put shadow resolution on low I LOSE FPS. I have tried this with multiple settings and with the exception of resolution, I LOST FPS by lowering the graphics options(i.e. shadows, motion blur, hdr).

So I think that there is defiantly something fishy going on with the drivers.

[[XC] hipno650]

ohh those 2900xt numbers look pretty good there. i am going to try the dx9 version on my 7900gt:D lets see what happens:D

[cadaveca]

Funny how this card is faster @ differnt test than nV...

CPU @ stock too, btw.

OC'ed GPU ONLY @ 850/1000

SNOW: 90
CAVE: 76


Seems "CAVE" test is cpu limited. More fun to be had later.

[theteamaqua]

can anyone try DX10 .. im getting only 56fps snow DX10 everything at default with GTS @ 660/1000, E6600 , 4GB .. it was playable , but certainly not fast

oh i use Vista x64 btw ....

[cadaveca]

I'm using Vista32, and there are textures and such missing from my DX10 version. Maybe i'll try to re-download, but I can already confirm that the performance is not as stellar as DX9 version, and considering the source of the file(nzone), frankly, I'm not surprised.

It's not as fast as X1950crossfire @ stock, but 850/1000 compares well, with what, to me, seems like better image quality, mainly due to a more consistent framerate, when it comes to games.

[theteamaqua]

i dont wanna dl DX9 ... again ... and the performance is bad on DX10 ... its playable at stock 1280x720 4xAA ... and such.. in fact i just beat the cave mission, but im getting some crappy performance on performance test .... with 158.43 ... lol at that legit reivew

i was under the impression that DX10 suppose to be faster than DX9 .. so much for that ATI slide from HardOCP last year ....

Mine is similar to yours. With everything max the frame rate gets hit hard. The driver doesn't seem to like anything over 660/1000 as well.

[theteamaqua]

which one was the 1st demo .. snow or cave??

[Starscream]

can someone with a dx10 card run both the dx9 and dx10 demo with the same settings and clock speeds and post results?

this to see how much extra performence dx10 gives over dx9.

[Kunaak]

vista is installed.
DX9 and DX10 versions installed.
both tested.


heres the early results.

1360 x 760 (or something like that)
all options maxed out.

PC used.

Quad Core 6600 at 9 x 400 = 3.6 ghz.
Corsair 8888 ram, at 1000 mhz, cas 4-4-4-8.
P5B deluxe.
8800 GTX, heavily modified to run 650/2100 mhz, with a 1566 mhz shader clock.

Vista Ultimate 32.


DX9 - snow = 52 FPS - Cave = 62FPS (cant be right, since verticle sync is on, but whatever)


DX10 - snow = 27 FPS - Cave = 31 FPS.

all settings the same from one game version to the next.
basically, you lose half your frame rate by using the DX10 version.

still testing....

ahh yes i jsut ran snow . btw my E6600 was @ 3.712GHz 412.5x9 not 3.6GHz lol , anyway GTS @ 660/1000

snow was 59

and @ kunaak

yes thata pretty much what i got... with DX10 everything mexed out just gave me horrible fps ... unplayable

like i said i was under the impression that DX10 suppose to make games run faster .. lol ... what a bs

[Starscream]

So Vista sucks and now we find out that DX10 also sucks :/

@Kunaak
what drivers are u using?

[Kunaak]

Hold On...

theres a little discovery that makes my earlier post invalid.



on the DX9 version of the game, shadow quality can only go up to Medium, and no Higher.


on the DX10 version, shadow quality can go up to High.

running shadow quality on high, easily cuts the frame rates in half, once you enable it.



when ran back to back, exact same settings (and this time, I double checked everything) the game seems to run pretty much the same from DX10 to DX9.



its the Shadow Quality not being available to "High" in the DX9 version, that messed me up.

[theteamaqua]

yes shadow quality kills fps A LOT !! and yes DX9 doesnt have anything abovce medium ...

i think its a DX10 only feature , maybe DX10 has larger shadow effect or something

[WRC]

dx 10 sucks if the oc'ed gtx doesn't get decent frame rates :slapass: gotta wait for an official title

[Kunaak]

read my post again.

[Kunaak]

This game is definatly dual core enabled.
maybe more...

thats my CPU load logs while letting the benchmark run for 2 passes.

[adamsleath]

dx9 locks up for me ...tried sli and non sli
1600x1200 4x aa, trilinear textures, other settings default.

single 8800gts 640----> around 30+ fps average....up to 40+

i like the way human/player movement is handled...pity i cant play it atm....

lots of exploding bugs :rolleyes:

[Mr.X]

Seeing those results, I'm kinda glad I didn't buy a DX10 card yet. Hopefully the 8900GTX and the HD2950XTX will produce much better results at max settings in DX10...

[theteamaqua]

kunaak how did u monitor CPU load ?? and got those numbers??

DX10 version probably uses shadow maps for shadows

thats almost as good as raytraced shadows, and much better than stencil shadows

can someone post detailed benches with G80 and R600, in both DX9 and DX10 mode, post results + images to compare IQ and DX10 extra features?

DX10 mode has soft shadows, if you enable that your performance drops by 50%. Other than that they are supposedly (according to a German magazine) to be equal in how they look (maybe DX10 has more stuff that you can turn on or off, but max DX9 quality is equal to DX10 quality if you set the settings right).

[DamienKC]

I couldn't get it to extract...says not enough HD space. haha.

[Noobie]

Some benches (some are less then ideal when it comes to specs, but i'll take what i can get):
I ran the performance test in the demo with the same config in the game as the legit review here: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/505/3/ to compare to the gtx and my result is : Snow: 24FPS , Cave 20FPS. Running at 1280x720. Comparing it to the HD2900XT its almost the same lawl. I will run it overclock my GT as the same clock speed as the GTS to check the difference. I play ingame and its not playable really with those fps, i tried withou the 4x Filter, its much better and i was able to play the game withou big lag. But still not really smooth and graphically not really good, but the physic and movement are really insane. I don't think so a 8600GT GTS will be okay to play dx10 with good graphic.
That's on a 8600 GT.

I just finished downloading, took forever wouldn't go over 60K..., servers must be flooded.

The graphics are a step above DX9 thats for sure.

E6400 @ 3.6Ghz 8800GTX x 2 SLI, 158.42 drivers from guru3d.com

It scored 58FPS average in the Snow and 55FPS in the Cave @ 1920x1080 x32bit (A2RGB10)

Here is my bench results at these settings, (default):

res: 1280*960 and Everything to the max: Average 22 snow:20 cave:24


To top if all off: a nice DX9, DX10, X-BOX 360 comparison
Running it in 720p output to my HDTV, looks pretty much the same as the 360 version and after tring both DX9 and DX10 versions, the DX9 version runs substantially faster, averaging over 50fps for both tests at default settings (4x AA, medium HDR etc). With antialiasing it does look slightly better then the 360 version I guess but there is not a huge amount in it. Certainly one of, if not the, best looking PC game out there atm. I was using a wired 360 pad to play and the controls were identical to the 360. Well worth a try.

About the game; although its not the sort of game I prefer, it seems allright.
bu the strange thing is, the performance on my system doesn't change that much as i change the settings from low to high.. with high settings it runs about 15fps, with everything at low detail the framerate sits around 20fps :confused:

specs;
BFG 7900gt @ 550/850mhz (core/mem)
Intel E4300 @ 2.4Ghz
512mb ram @ 266Mhz (temporary; due to f*cked up mobo)
Loading times also seem pretty short when i keep in mind that i only have 512mb ram..

Everything about this game is bizaare.

The menus are hard to navigate without the Xbox 360 controller.

When you change the resolution, the screen resolution doesn't change, just the back buffer.

The graphics aren't beautiful in the normal sense. Instead, they focus on environmental stuff. Motion blur, beautiful snow, explosions. I like it.

Even though it says 40fps, it still look slike it's running beautifully.

Loading is very minimal.

It's great looking, and I don't feel like I'm killing my computer to play it.

You can use Everest to monitor you load. Alternatively you can use ThrottleWatch, it's free and uses very little resources.

resolutions suck... why do developers not sort this sort of thing out before release!? I mean name one person on XS who has a 32-37" LCD for their monitor....

lol most monitor's that size are 1376x768, and are TV's. That's LOW res lol.:lol2:

Guys, like I said, the screen res is just whatever your desktop screen res is. It's the back buffer the res there changes.

It supports widescreen by applying the correct aspect ratio at any resolution.

I agree they should at least have higher res options, but playing 1280x800 upscaled to 1680x1050 is fine with me.

It doesn't work on Windows XP x64; same problem here and a google search later showed that everyone with that error is running XP x64.

It is FIRST game I come across which doesn't work on XP x64!!
What is funny (or not:mad: ) this is new title! Where is logic?? :down:
BTW I tried this game on XBOX360 and graphics was nice but game play sucks so I'm deleting this demo...

*UPDATE*
If you have Windows XP x64 and are getting the inadequate operating system error install the demo through STEAM. I tried it just to see what would happen and now it works. Enjoy.
