Post your quake3 FPS

[JayZe]

3dmark2001 sux so lets use quake 3. they got the new patch out 1.29f which supports the demo this time. just drop down console and type /timedemo 1 and goto demos and play the demo thats there...plz post your rig and the fps you get, i get around 140-144 fps on my system which seems about right, i guess...

 

[johneetrash]

what resolution?

 

[JayZe]

i use 800*640, but whatever res. you normally play games at

On ra3map1 with my Athlon 1.1 and GF2 Pro, I see framerates of 250-350 with the settings I use: 800x600, r_picmip 5, 16-bit, low textures.

GF3 at 230/530 Athlon 1.3 @ 1.466

Everything on highest setting. 115.5fps in 1280x1024 no fsaa

1.2 tbird
512mb pc133
radeon 64mb (stock)

60ish fps at 1152x864 with all the bells and whistles turned on (except fsaa)

i think this was 1.27 tho

 

[ledzepp98]

do the different versions get different fps? i have v1.11 and i downloaded the 1.27f patch but it doesn't work. how different could the fps be between v1.11 and v1.27f?

800x600, r_picmip 5, 16-bit, low textures.

Ahhhh. Someone who plays the game

lol I agree

I don't understand, why not run 32bit? I mean you're getting well over 100fps...

<< I don't understand, why not run 32bit? I mean you're getting well over 100fps... >>



Well, my MX sweats like a pig when you throw 32bit at it I lose around 60% FPS. Also quake3 runs optimal @ 125FPS, so I cap it n e way.

 

[Scooter]

just ran another two. Same settings as above:

1600x1200 88.6fps
2048x1536 52.7fps

 

[Scooter]

I guess the SDR doesn't have the bandwidth for 32bit? That would make sense. But 60% decrease? That's seems very odd.

and what exactly do you mean about

<< quake3 runs optimal @ 125FPS, so I cap it n e way. >>

Some will argue that anything above 60fps is a waste. I personally disagree. I can certainly tell when my average is less than 90 fps. But 125? I dunno if anyone alive could tell the difference between 90 and 125fps..

NOTE: All benchmarks were done w/version 1.17, in High Quality with the only thing being changed is the resolution.


640x480
Demo 1 = 209.3 fps
Demo 2 = 206.4 fps
Quaver = 185.2 fps
NV 15 = 49.9 fps

800x600
Demo 1 = 204.0 fps
Demo 2 = 203.7 fps
Quaver = 183.2 fps
NV 15 = 50.5 fps

1024x768
Demo 1 = 175.4 fps
Demo 2 = 181.1 fps
Quaver = 165.5 fps
NV 15 = 50.0 fps

1280x1024
Demo 1 = 121.4 fps
Demo 2 = 125.5 fps
Quaver = 118.1 fps
NV 15 = 49.4 fps

1600x1200
Demo 1 = 85.2 fps
Demo 2 = 87.4 fps
Quaver = 84.4 fps
NV 15 = 44.0 fps

 

[maxhdwdotcom]

You might not, but the quake engine does. You can actually do more jumps and hence, move faster and further. Why should you beleave me, because I'm a division 1 UK 'proffessional' player and have read alot about the 125 'magic number'.

And its 60% because its SDR and I have it on FULL details, the MX isn't made for 32bit because it lacks DDR.

 

[Scooter]

maxhdwdotcom, got any links to support your claim? I'm very curious, I've been playing for a while myself, but I've never heard anything about 125fps anything in Q3... Love to read up on it though.

Wingznut PEZ why are you getting less the same fps in 640x480 as you are in 1280x1024? I understand NV15 is all geometry but I would think the split would be even wider than that. *confused*

 

[maxhdwdotcom]

Sure thing scooter, will have alook, if there are any q3 sites left

 

[Wingznut]

Yeah, I guess it is all about geometry, with the video card being the bottleneck.

 

[Scooter]

Ack,...that is confusing. What I meant to say was, why are you getting the same framerate in 1280x1024 and 640x480 on map NV15? I would thinmk the framerate difference would be much wider than .5fps.

Is that map immune to resolution differences?

 

[Smapty]

Radeon LE (185/185), 700mhz duron @ 784 mhz, 128 ram; i get about 90 fps in 1280x1024 everything max, 32 bit color, vertex lighting, full tecture quaality,etc....

 

[Wingznut]

Apparantly so, Scooter. I was surprised also, at the results.

Why don't you run it and see what you come up with.

 

[Scooter]

I have to run to, work... I'll post the results after I return tomorrow morning.

btw,.. leave me the console command if ya would,..
