Halo numbers
 

I'm just curious as to everybodies numbers in Halo.

Here's mine (Max Halo detail, no AA, no AS, Image Settings: Quality):

To get the benchmark add the -timedemo switch to your Halo.exe. It will dump the results into timedemo.txt in your Halo directory.

I have a 2.1ghz setup with a ti500 as well... I'll shoot some numbers onto this thread tonite...

You might wanna specify your nvidia driver settings, and your halo IQ settings as well, so we can be on the same page...

Edit: Scratch that first thought, this belongs in the Benchmark forum.

To be honest, I don't like the way Halo does its benchmarking. Instead of giving you some concrete frame rate numbers to work with, it captures your scores over time. I wish it would break down low, high and average scores in each of the scenes, much like [H]'s UT2003 benchmarking program.

Sorry didn't know there was a bench forum.

I'm running max halo settings.
Default GF3 Driver settings (no FSAA, no AS, Image Setting: Quality)

Were you gonna yell @ me, Sat?

I DID end up movin it... my reflexes are a little off right now... ;)

Nope. You just happened to post while I was typing. :)

The "-timedemo" mode is not accurate, gearbox said so themselves. They are going to fix it in the next patch, but for now you should just use fraps and play around a few levels for a little bit.

Here's my results first without specular enabled but all other Halo settings maxed out and Eax enabled. Driver settings are at default.

Now this time I enabled specular in Halo and again all settings are maxed out and Eax enabled. Driver settings are at default.

Seems kinda low to me since I have a faster processor (P4 3.06) and vid card (gf4 4200 128mb ram) than you function 5. Are you sure you didn't do any other tweaking?

I'm sure.

Ok here's mine again with the 9700 Pro installed and everything enabled:D

Hey man, you have particles off, this is not max seettings.
The real score (with everything on) will be about 3-5% slower.
