stealing a page from some lads @ r3d... (namely ozzy)

they started a thread wrt benching far cry...

http://www.benchemall.com/download/benchemall.zip

very simply select the game path (the .exe file is in the bin32 folder) and select resolutions and LOD...

you don't do much in the bench but it does give you a general idea of performance...

notice with the min settings there is a lot of cpu limitation...

jah... just dl'd it... running it now and correlating the scores :)

running tests @ 12x10 res... seems to be stressing my system out nicely lol...
cool, will keep eye out for your scores. I've not run this yet myself.

well here are the scores...

no aa/af... maximum quality in the benchmark settings...

So, how does this actually play on your system? Those scores aren't exactly what would be called playable on those 2 tests...

Clay

07-23-04, 01:52 AM

Hey Saz, not to nitpick...but I never do reviews with all that kind of crap running in the background...whenever you get a chance could you run this again with only Far Cry running? :)

Sazar

07-23-04, 02:50 AM

:)

I know... I don't bench like that either normally BUT I have a coupla BIG torrents coming down and I didn't wanna disconnect (only one seed for both :( )

I'll run it again in a coupla days..

the rest of the stuff was running so I could keep up with stuff... honestly speaking I don't think there was that much of a drop-off though I don't doubt it did indeed affect the performance :D

Son Goku

07-23-04, 02:56 AM

/Me still wonders how this is running if those benchies are indicative... If this is typical of game play, I'd pass on the game prior to an upgrade :D

Is this as unplayable with a r3xx as these scores indicate?

Sazar

07-23-04, 03:19 AM

I have no probs running it @ 10x7 res smooth as hell... all effects maxed :)

Son Goku

07-23-04, 03:22 AM

k, thx Them benchies were getting me to thinking. Lets just say I was browsing around the store of late, but wasn't sure on the current gen of games and my comp.

If your AIW 9700 can't play something, it's a sure bet my Radeon 9600 wouldn't handle it better...

I am actually playing the game at 1280x1024 4xAA and 4xAF everything maxed and it runs pretty damn smooth. I like it :D

That last demo is kind of weird. It runs faster as **** but shows a small fps. Weird.
