Stylez 0 Posted August 2, 2003 I'm upgrading to a P4 3.0c in 2 weeks, and I'm just wondering if any other opflash community members has tried it with such a powerful PC. I'm wondering what kind of perfomance I should be able to expect. Here's my specs: P4 3.0ghz 800mhz FSB 512mb DDR Creative Audigy Radeon 9700pro Incidentally, it's running quite nicely right now with my Radeon and 1.3ghz duron, but, well, Halflife 2 is coming out soon so the most intelligent thing to do was to drop $1300 on a new PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamme 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Is Radeon 9700 Pro a DX9 card? I was just thinking of buying it, but I'm looking for a DX9 card so I need to know for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted August 2, 2003 Hardly a BI General topic, methinks you should invest in a non-slip mouse instead of a new PC TS will suffice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kuja- 0 Posted August 3, 2003 Up until recently (I broke my 9700pro) I was running with this configuration: Tbred B 2400+ - Running at 200*11.5 (2.3ghz) 512 XMS3200 - Running at 200 Epox 8RDA+ - Nforce2 9700pro - Running at 370/330 Scoring about 18k 3dmark01s at default [Catalyst] settings. The CPU benchmark included in OFP scored about 6300. I ran in 1280x960 with 4xAA and 8xAF on. Compared with most other games that ran at a bare minimum of 50fps constant, performance sucked. But in the context of Flashpoint, it was ok. Usually between 25-40fps and certainly playable, but still below that threshold where the framerate is sufficient for it to become silky smooth to the eye. I could have undoubtably gotten 50+fps with 4xAA and 8xAF off, but it would look hideous then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stylez 0 Posted August 3, 2003 Sorry Placebo I'll keep your suggestion in mind Not bad at all. Yeah, the 9700pro is a dx9 card. Splintercell looks gorgeous with it... I can't wait to crank up the details in flashpoint. I'm currently getting about 3300 in the OFP CPU Benchmark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sole 0 Posted August 3, 2003 hrm, i got like 900 as OFPR Benchmark score (P3 450, TNT2, 128Mb ) But I'm upgrading this week (as soon as the store has the PSU and GFX card I want in stock again) I cant wait to experience OFP with rubb-your-buttcheecks-against-the-monitor smooth graphics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stylez 0 Posted August 4, 2003 He he he, sole, poor guy. Opflash is like a whole new game once you are able to play it buttery smooth with 6 abrams rolling by you as the apaches fly overhead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
