I might upgrade it to a Geforce 6800 (and try to unlock the extra pipelines) next week.

What resolution and settings? I'll have to look into that "unlocking the extra pipelines" you mention.

800x600 medium detail

edit: it was 640x480 medium detail, not 800x600

33.53 FPS

You probably have much higher settings then me.

Just tried it with the uber leet tweaked cfg from the other thread and got 54fps. I'm going to try it Quake 4 on my laptop tonight, should be interesting. My laptop is a
AMD64 3200+
1024MB RAM
Radeon 9700 Mobile 128MB

there is no way u have lower settings than me.

I got 64.41 fps in 1024x768 - High detail

49.45 with the low quality config that was posted.
XP 3200+ (Barton)
x800 XT PE (AGP)

Anyone else care to post some benchmarks? I wanna know what kind of improvement I woudl get if I just upgraded my CPU to a A64 4000+ or something similar. Like I stated in another thread, I'm about as low as I can go gfx wise and I still am dipping down to 10-15 fps in mp.

the timedemo command is in the console, so I assumed there was a demo somewhere to run in Quake. Are you guys all running D/S - Syn's demo?

yes.

If you upgrade the CPU (and motherboard), would you really stick with AGP? Or do you not have the cash to buy a new vid card too?

Because I don't think there is a faster cpu than the 3200, without going to Athlon64.

They make agp boards that will take the latest and greatest. Like this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813130514

Sure I 'could' get a new video card and go pci-x too. But I just spent $500 on this one last xmas. I dont really feel I got my moneys worth out of it yet.

Yea, I looked at some 64-bit mobo's with AGP video when I was spec'ing mine out. But if you go that route, when you want to upgrade your video card you'll have to buy a new motherboard again.
That's the main reason I went with PCI-E.

Yeah well its 70 bucks for the agp board compared to 120+500 for a new board and video. Ill probably take the 70 dollar gamble. If it doesnt sovle it, im out 70 bucks.

GGL =57.9FPS

Amd 64 3200+ ( 2.0Ghz, new Castle Core )
1gig Kingston DDR400 ( cas 2.5 )
Ati Radeon 9800 Pro 128meg
Msi K8n Neo 2

38.63.

Athlon 3200+
1gb Corsair
Radeon 9600XT


But I have left the game running at my SP settings. No gun model, but the rest is standard. 800x600, no AA, no HQ special effects.

Specular, bumpmap and shadows are all on. Game set at medium.

Not too bad at all, really. I'm not going to mess with the visual settings until I beat the SP game.

edit: I only ran the demo once - I don't know if Q4's caching would make a second timedemo run faster.

ggl 57.84 fps, 800x600 on High Quality

AMD 64 2800 OC'd to 2.2 ghz.
1 gig RAM
6600 GT

these are all so random....

what else would you suggest?

ajerara wrote:what else would you suggest?

what do u mean? im just looking through everyones scores, and people with not so great systems getting really good fps while others while better comps get much worse FPS, its a bit frustrating/confusing

well, I meant is there more consistent way to benchmark at the moment, as there is no timedemo included in the game that everyone can use. Maybe everyone should stick to one quality/detail setting to standardize it more?

P4 2.4b
1024mb PC2700
x800xL

800x600 Low Quality
CFG Tweaked to look like poop

33.82 fps


If I go back to default config and put it on 1280x with High Quality I get 31.74 fps. Something is awry...

high @ 1280 x 1024 all adv settings on expect aa
47fps

low @ 640 x 480 all adv settings off
52fps


A64 3000+ @ 2.3
7800GT
2GB RAM

perhaps not. several ppl with 7800gtx have noted getting fps drops to 10-15 so maybe in your case your low score is cpu related? Indeed the fact you can run high detail and get almost the same fps would indicate that is the issue.

Yeah, it's all about the cpu in q4.
