Lost Planet DX10 Demo Link

[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 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

[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??

Will we start again

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).

[Damien]

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):
FPS = OFF
AntiAlias = 4X
HDR = Medium
Texture Filter Anistropic = 16X
Texture Resolution = High
Model Quality = High
Shadow Quality = Medium
Shadow Resolution = Default
Motion Blur Quality = High
Effect Resolution = High
Effect Quality = High
Effect Volume = High
Lighting Quality = High
Display Resolution = 1920x1080
Frequency = 60Hz
Full Screen = ON
Verticle Sync = OFF
Aspect Correction = OFF
Concurrent Operations = 2
Concurrent Rendering = ON
MultiCPU = OFF (?, don't know what this meant)

That last one if MultiGPU, but the dude has it off, and it appears it SLI doesn't work in Lost Planet.

core 2 due 4300 @ 2.5 GHZ
Radeon 1950 pro
2GB RAM @ 800MHZ
Gigabyte DS4 Motherboard

game setting:
Refresh rate @ 120hz
2x AA (Adaptive AA enabled)
4X Anisotropic (High quality AF enabled)
Catalyst AI @ standard

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.

Ok guys trouble here.............when i start the game it get's me an error message saying that ''could not start cause file XINPUT1_3.dll is missing''.
I have downloaded the demo three times from different servers and changed from 158.18 to 158.43 but no go.Vista Home Premiun x64 here.

Any inputs?

The 160.xx driver is supposedly working much better for the demo.

[XeRo]

Seems like another poor port from the xbox.

Sh*t I cant get it to run..
Installation went fine and all, and when i launch it i can hear the music comming from the game's menu or something. But my monitor tells me that the signal is not supported
So appearantly the demo's default resolution isn't supported by my monitor..
anyone know how to fix this?

[Hachi_Roku]

So appearantly the demo's default resolution isn't supported by my monitor..

try running in compatibility mode - 640x480

edit: or try playing in default.cfg

[Genius_pt]

Wooo! Many thanks for the link!

I've just tested it on my system with 158.19 drivers.

8600GTS 700/1130



Not as bad as I thought. The cave test is extremely limited by the cpu. It was allways 100% in both cores.

Switch to window mode (alt + enter I guess).

I got it to work by connecting my tv to the tv output on the videocard so i could go into the menu on the tv screen and change the settings there.

thanks anyways

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

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..

Wasn't sure if I should use it.. but people seem to like it

I discovered something.. when i play the demo (dx9) the cpu load is around 20% when playing the game.. whats up with that?!?
