froggyluv 2136 Posted June 4, 2009 C2D 8500 @3.5 4870 512mb 4 gigs mem vista 64 1400*900 Everything normal; fillrate at 100% -Result: 2762 Second test with everything high; fillrate at 150% -Result: 2666 Edit- Damn trini, looks like those i7's are pretty nice! Update: Ok, after disabling the 'Application control' in my CCC and putting the AA to x8 with everything set to 'Normal' I had 2 strange results: - Lowering the Bitfiller it's lowest setting (game looked terrible!): 3097 -Raising the Bitfiller to 87% (game looks quite nice): 3431 I have no idea why raising the BF upped the performance in this test but the game looked quite bad at 0%. I'm using the latest ATI drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ahmedjbh 0 Posted June 4, 2009 guys for a fair test it would make sense to use same resolution and all other settings as the OP asked, otherwise this is a waste of time. You have to compare like to like. Some things I have noticed, XP seems to be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
binkster 0 Posted June 4, 2009 guys for a fair test it would make sense to use same resolution and all other settings as the OP asked, otherwise this is a waste of time. You have to compare like to like.Some things I have noticed, XP seems to be good. I agree... the resolution needs to be a standard too but I wasnt sure that everyone would have the same option for resolution. The main reason why I wanted to port this mission over cause I bought a q9650 and it should arrive today. I just want to make sure I didnt waste my money going from q6600 to q9650... Also the scores are sensitive and will move + or - 200 for any reason. So with people making small changes and seeing the score change doesnt mean that its better or worse. I would say get a average of 3 to 4 times and then make your adjustments and do another average of 3 to 4 times to get a good feel on what the changes had made.

binkster 0 Posted June 4, 2009 @maddogx For me the first run is really bad compared to second. Was your first setting only from 1 run or did you average a couple? From what I gathered people with 4gigs of ram and same system as me are getting way higher scores. I only have 2gigs and this may be something to think about too. My q9650 just arrived I will post back here in a few to see what it can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both were only one run, but my #2 (which is the settings I always use) was actually done first, not second. I only put the "all normal" one as #1 because it was the one we use to compare. I'll do some more run-throughs later on and work out an average. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purkka_fin 0 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) i found out on this site that gtx285 SLI or even gtx260 SLI really beats out 4870x2 like and old dog. in every test in other games. i ordered 4870x2 allready for 275€. and have 1 gtx260 so one more for sli would beat one 4870x2.crap. thougt id need new sli mobo because my p35 asus only have cf .sorry about OT here is the article: http://techreport.com/articles.x/16681/12 Edited June 5, 2009 by purkka_FIN new signature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted June 5, 2009 @HerrAnders One of the main limiting factors for the score seems to be CPU power, and you have one major CPU :). Also your Crossfire seems to be doing its job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
