Post your Doom 3 "timedemo demo1" scores with corresponding system specs!!!

[IamTylerDurden]

OK, I wanna get a feel for how everyone is running this so in this thread you need to post your system specs (CPU type & speed, RAM type & size, Video card model and the memory it has (just in case someone doesnt know) and OS) and then the FPS score that the time demo returns to you.

Also let us know if you have or have not tweaked the config, and if your an ATI user, please post whether you have used the ATI tweak I have posted about or not and if you have seen a performance increase or not in timedemo from that tweak! Also post if your doing any overclocking.

Also post your in game resolution and quality level (low, medium, high, ultra)




A few things on the time demo:
1. To run time demo, pull down your console in the game menu (Ctrl+Alt+~ by default) and type this in without the quotes "timedemo demo1". It will take a minute or two to run and then it will return to you your average FPS, thats the number you should post in here!

2. Run it twice and post your score for the second run, I have noticed the first run is craptastic, as it takes a minute for the game to settle and the second run you'll pick up a few more FPS ( I pick up 3FPS from my second run compared to my first!)


If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I have tweaked the config, and I am running the ATI tweak though I didn't see an improvement in timedemo. I think some of my other tweaks my cancel that out though I'm not sure! Overdrive IS turned on for my XT.

rofl hax!!

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

hax

[LA_MERC_Onji]

well i attempted to do it from work to my home computer via VNC, but do you know how hard that is? lol i was able to run the timedemo, but i have no idea what my ingame res is or quality since i cant click options lol, i'll update my post above

[Omega_Prime]

okay this is wierd for me my fps jumped big time on second run.

first run 64.8
second 71.3

system:

p4 3.0 o'c to 3.24ghz
MSI 865pe mobo

maxtor 120gig hd 7200rpm
gainward 6800 all i can say is this card is wow!

my in game settings are at 800x600 at medium quality. i also have vert insink turned on my video card seeing as it makes my game run better.

[IamTylerDurden]

prime.. why not run it at a higher res.. and if you have that 6800, you should be running ultra!

[Omega_Prime]

neg medium settings looks just fine also i hear the ultra settings are for a pc that hasnt even come our way yet.

[IamTylerDurden]

Ultra is for cards with 512 mb on them.. the 6800 has 512 right?

And you timedemo is higher than the ingame cap, so you should at least bump your res!

[[uGa] Saint]

yea, the ultra settings are designed for video cards with 512 mb... thought the best card out right now only had 256... maybe im wrong... either way, might as well play it at a level that you get real good fps...

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

There is no card produced at the present time that has 512 mb of ram. some models of the 6800 have 128 mb ram, others have 256mb.

[IamTylerDurden]

Really? Hmm, ok.. did not know that! My b!

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

yeah prime you should check out the difference on www.tomshardware.com
they show the diff cards and diff benchmarks
the difference in graphics from med to high is huge!!
you should bump up to at least 800x600 on high

posted my fps

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

System Specs:
Lanfire, AMD 2400+, 1 GB 2700 Ram, not dual, 9800 pro 128mb, 36 gb Western Digital Raptor 10,000 rpm hd (got another, but doom is on this one) Windows XP

I actually ran this test several times at different settings:
Res: 1280x1024 | 800x600
Quality: High | Med | High | Med
1st Run: 33.2 | 33.9 | 37.7 | 40.4
2nd Rund: 36.3 | 37.5 | 42.7 | 42.7

So you tell me, does it make a difference?....LMAO!

[LA_MERC_Onji]

ok updated my post with several different settings and results

[Omega_Prime]

ultra is for 512mb cards my 6800 is only 128megs lol.

[IamTylerDurden]

ultra is for 512mb cards my 6800 is only 128megs lol.


LOL! Yea, I got that now! hehe! So your settings are fine for quality, but you should EITHER bump the res, OR if your gonna be playing at that res, then your FPS says that you should be able to bump it to high quality. Just try it and post the scores so that me and Diesel will be happy! =) LOL!
__________________________________________________ ______

Overall everything looks pretty even across the board, seems like some people (like me) their graphics cards are compin for their older CPU's and some people have enough RAM and CPU power to somewhat comp for their decent cards...

[[uGa] Saint]

hey spark, does your card have 128 or 256 mb? Cuz if its 128 i'm gonna be pissed that my card isnt performin as well... stupid scotch.

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

that demo aint right or something.
P4 2.6 OC'd @ 3.0 w/ HT enabled
256 mb pc2700 (yeah I know, it's the week spot of my pc)
GF4Ti4600 ultra 128mb ram (stock speed)

game set: 800x600 @ low quality
1st run= 9.2 fps 2nd run= 9.9 fps

defraged HD, rebooted, disabled AVauto-protect, stopped all non-critical services, re-ran demo at same settings
1st run= 10.3 fps 2nd run= 11 fps

when I actually played this game, it runs very smooth, only stutters once in a while (or if I have a ton of enemies on screen) it doesn't look anything near as bad as what that demo looked like. but then again, maybe I'm used to it. I played CS for about 2 years averaging 8-15 fps.

I'm gonna OC the vid card and double check the AA settings.

___________________________________

ok, better. No OC on the vid card, but I did find that I had AA at 4x and AsF at 8x.
now apparently the game will run at what you set for options "in game" but the demo uses your system settings. the only thing I did was turn AA and AsF both to 0 the start the game (didn't even do a reboot, and all normal services and AV were running)
1st run= 20.3 2nd run= 22.4

this looked muhc more representative of how the game looks when I play it. pretty much smooth with a slight stutter every now and then.

[IamTylerDurden]

Your bottle necking at your RAM and your video card my friend. (I have been wrong before so I preface this next statement with, "as far as I know") As far as I know ( =) hehe), That 4600 is NOT a direct X 9 card and that may be while your having difficulty. Make sure under advanced options you turn off shadows and antialiasing... and make sure you dont have any AA turned on by default in that cards control panel...

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

Ok, installed the most recent vid drivers (had 56.something, now have 61.something) then re-ran demo at same settings

1st run= 21.2 fps 2nd run= 26.1 fps

26 is definitly playable. anyway, the game has been running pretty smooth and the eye candy is just fine. i r happy

[IamTylerDurden]

Much better!
