Trespasser is a better benchmark

[Platyply]

I read all these hardware reviews and see the "real-world" performance of them with FPS nearing 200fps. Not to knock Q3,MDK2, or UT, but I think Dreamworks Interactive's Trespasser: Jurassic Park is a much better game to really push CPUs and GPUs to the limits. The physics of the game really is extremely processor intensive, and the drawing of the open spaces and dinosaurs really push the graphics card. It may not be a popular platform for which other people can compare their FPS, but it really tests to see just how "powerful" these CPU setups are. The highest FPS I've seen on Tres was 51. To me, the ultimate test of any computer rig is to see if it can run Trespasser above 60fps. Every computer I've ran Trespasser on seems to slow down at some point, hopefully the project I'm working on will break that trend. Just my two cents . . .

Well, on thing - the game sucked. I don't believe I spend $30 on it, back in the days.

Can't find that game in the shops these days. Even tried the Abandon(warez) sections with total failure

Hell, just download the demo, i'm sure it's still out there. even though it did suck, it played like crap on my system.

Maybe...but I have to throw my 3dmark argument here. I don't give a crap how many 3dmarks my system scores becuase I don't play 3dmark.
I wouldn't play trespasser either, it was a horrendous game...I'd much rather see Q3A and UT because I play those games (well actually I play Q3A and Rune, but Rune is UT engine based so it's close enough). You're right Trespasser would stress the system more...but so does nVidia's TreeDemo and I'd don't really give a crap how many leaves/sec I can render either.

I would actually try to use trespasser as a benchmark but my system would never run that crap of a game

Platyply,

1st, you make a good point. I remember when Trespasser came out and all the reviews said that it really could not run well on the current computers. What kind of computer ran it at 51FPS? Just curious.

2nd, you have a killer rig. What kind of FPS do you get?

Sorry, had to do it.

Go to the link on my post, it will take you to the TPMS board where people post their results from the benchmark tool. I don't quite remember the system's setup.

Edit: I get about .0005 fps

LOL. .0005FPS

I am glad you have a good sense of humor. I will check out the site.
