Earlier, Stryker was talking with me on IRC about getting the Doom3 demo just to see how it runs. Considering its' 400mb big, and she's on 56k, I had the urge to make a small 1.2mb benchmark of a camera panning around one of my gargoyle models with real-time perpixel lighting effects and a shimmery crystal. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fragfiles.org/~cheapy/bencher.zip">http://www.fragfiles.org/~cheapy/bencher.zip</a><!-- m --> I get 12fps at 640x480x32 on default settings here on my 950 w/ gf2 :\ [img:1b8q3s9e]http://www.fragfiles.org/~cheapy/darkgarg.jpg[/img:1b8q3s9e] Oh btw, i'ts based on Darkplaces Quake engine.

nice model. I only had 252 fps.

157

Crashed as soon as it started.

I don't know what FPS I got. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

It should say so in the console or in the benchmark.log in the id1 folder. Moose - what video card do you have again? :O?

A GeForce FX 5900.

I don't have doom3 yet <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> and if I did on my computer it probably would run at 1 FPS.

Aww, if anyone can run Vavoom smoothly, they'll beable to run Doom3 great no doubt <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

Can you run Vavoom Smoothly? I sure can't. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> And Janis, can't you get the Doom3 Demo?

I mean my computer is too old for Doom 3. I have Pentium II, 350 MHz with Riva TNT2 video card.

Oh. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I understand.. This one probably won't run it good either. I got about 7-8FPS on the Benchmark thingie Cheapy made.

6 fps uhm... using a video card would definitely be of some use

i did get the Doom 3 demo and played it for a while, I must say that the graphics are good even on the lowest graphic level, I got a decent FPS rate with my GeForce 4 and the latest drivers (because without them the demo wouldn't even start <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":?:" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: --> <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":?:" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: --> ). I'm going to try this small benchmark as soon as my computer is back, I had to send it to fix because my problem with the power surge <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> , it seems the RAM memory slots were damaged and I have to change my mother board, fortunately I have my second desktop machine and I didn't lost any work I had there <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> . I'm going to test it on this machine with a Riva TNT 2 card and see the results.

Oh crap, how unfortunate <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> Last time I recall my memory going poof is when I moved my Cyrix6x86MX200 in another room. The memory blew out (32mb stick) and eventually the cpu itself died within the same week. I didn't call it an official computer for me though, it was quite unstable anyway (freezorama). As for power surges, my linux box from 4 years back died from a lightning storm then :O (was a k6, the usual.) At least my p2 233 starts up without a problem after a blackout (it doesn't start at all with the tv turned on, oddly enough, so it's got one freaky power supply) By the way, a card with cubemapping support is required to run it (i.e. a Geforce256 or better), so I doubt it'll run on a TNT2. Almost anything out today is better than the first generation Geforce card so it can't be really hard to find a machine that can run it. Glad to know Stryker's onboard crap Intel video card supports cubemapping, i'm surprised <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> (and runs as good as a p3 900 w/ gf2mx too, infact a little better) EDIT: Just tested it on a Barton AXP3200 w/ Radeon 9600 128mb over here. Holy shit, couldn't believe my eyes it was 138FPS :O
