Yes, I'm curious too (me got 9800pro 128).

Saw this at one of the fan-site forums but haven't got the game yet

1) Toggle the console by pressing CTRL + ALT + Tilde Key (~)
2) Type "timedemo demo1" without the quotes, and press enter
3) The first run will probably be very choppy as the system caches all the graphics and sounds. After it is done, repeat steps 1 and 2 for a more accurate, smooth run

Load the game - press CTRL+ALT+Tild key then type

timedemo demo1

To show fps:
com_drawfps 1

i guess running it the first time is the most accurate test.!!

yes i will do it now..

 

[faye]

ok, here is how

hit CTRL + ALT + ~ for console,

in the console type

timedemo demo1

first time i ran it at 1280*1024@medium
i got 69.1seconds = 31.1fps
2nd time i got 64.5seconds = 33.3fps

My system: P4-2.4C @ 3.2Ghz / 1GB Geil DDR3500 / 9800Pro @ 405/390 -- WinXP Pro SP1 fully patched

My results (High quality - no AA/8xAF - ran the test 2 times using the second as the result)

1024x768 -- 44.8
1152x864 -- 39.0
1600x1200 - 20.8

FWIW these are numbers with my 9800Pro at default

1024x768 -- 44.9 (found this odd)
1152x864 -- 35.6
1600x1200 - 20.2

Edit: It appears as though something is wrong with my or faye's numbers as his system is faster than mine with the exception of me having 2x the RAM. Is it possible that's holding him back that much?

Edit2: As those right below me pointed out high quality enables 8x AF by default and I have mine set on "application preference" so apparently mine is enabled. I corrected my post - thanks for the info guys!

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Lack of ram is a killer with some of these new titles so it's a good guess at any rate.

Note to people above - High Quality setting enables 8x AF by default, unless you override it in the CP.

P4 2.4 (Northwood)
1Gb
6800GT (420/1130)

High Quality


1600 x 1200 0xAA 8xAF - 50.3fps
1600 x 1200 2xAA 8xAF - 47.5fps
1600x1200 4xAA 8xAF - 40.1fps

Man, you 6800 owners are starting to piss me off...

/runs off to see if the BFG is available anywhere...

Where is everyone getting this game from!?! I know some people got it from Best Buy in Sat, but supposedly they stopped that. I checked around a number of stores around Atlanta, and nothing...

Isn't everyone a pre-order at this point?

 

[SilverBack]

Ok I tried the demo
GT is at stock speed 350/1000
Game at high quality
1024x768 69.4 fps
1600x1200 47.5 fps

 

[Corporate Thug]

geez, i'm getting killed here

A64 3200+ @ 2.4 ghz/512/5900 (450/900)

1280*768 high quality: 25 FPS first run, 27.7 FPS on second run

I just came back from the future (2008) and tested Doom3 with ATI's new Radeon XIII800 XT 2GB GDDR5 with 64 pixelpipelines running at 1000 MHz and RAM at 2400MHz (4800MHz).

I got 573 fps playing Doom 3 at 2048x1536 with 64xAF and 32X AA. A little low for 2008 but then I was only running a Pentium6 20GHz overclocked to 28GHz and 10GB of PC16000 QDR3-SDRAM.:beer:

Oh man that's disappointing. I need a new graphics card so I can run at 1280x1024.

I'm wondering if there's a feature we can disable that will significantly boost performance on older cards like the 9700/9800's.

Here is a comparison between P4 2.4 and P4 1.8 (downclocked)

P4 2.4 (Northwood)
1Gb
6800GT (420/1130)

High Quality


1600 x 1200 0xAA 8xAF - 50.3fps
1600 x 1200 2xAA 8xAF - 47.5fps
1600x1200 4xAA 8xAF - 40.1fps


P4 1.8 (Northwood)
1Gb
6800GT (420/1130)

High Quality


1600 x 1200 0xAA 8xAF - 38.1fps
1600 x 1200 2xAA 8xAF - 36.7fps
1600x1200 4xAA 8xAF - 33.5fps


So, if you have slow cpu and powerful card, might as well turn everything on
