Cityintro.unr benchmarks here (updated)

[Morety]

Va:

Diamond Viper 770 Ultra is the vid card.

I'll read up on the monitor manual and check into adjusting properties. I've noted to make sure, VERY sure if I'm about to change anything.

I'm just got standard supervga drivers as supplied by windows running my monitor right now. It's an Imago 17", and specific drivers didn't come with it. I'll rtfm, because it sounds like I can tweak more performance from the system.

Any hints/clues appreciated.

The way the flyby intro is (just a video) the min. framerate doesn't make a difference. If you set it really high, in the actual game the quality will lower to keep that speed, that doesn't happen in the intro.

That said, I have:
Celeron 500 @ 563
192mb RAM
Elsa Erazor X (GeForce SDR)
SB Live

The following have all settings maxed except volumetric lighting, use trillinear, v-sync, and Detail Texture (only for a certain chip isn't it?).

960x720x16: min 24.94 max 82.98 avg 42.05
1024x768x16: min 24.53 max 80.97 avg 41.47
960x720x32: min 21.59 max 75.05 avg 39.63
1024x720x32: min 19.99 max 67.74 avg 38.60

Waiting for new Elsa Drivers based on 5.22 to be released to OC my GeForce, and an Alpha PEP66 w/ Delta 38cfm fan to OC my CPU more

Waah! I have a serious problem with UT (I know that for a loooong time now).

Cityintro average = about 27 fps

on any resolution (16 bit) with everything on.

When I leave the game, the music goes on for a little while and than stops but when I press CTRL+ALT+DELETE in the middle of the game I only have one copy rolling. I borrowed Q3A from a friend and it doesn't get me fullscreen (which it did before) and when I start UT I see the framework of IE like stuff with white borders and than it goes into the game. I dunno what is wrong but I only play Deck16 cause most others are extremely laggy. This is with original drivers, 3.84 drivers, 5.22 drivers. DX7a etc. Reinstalled etc. etc. 4.05/4.13/4.20 etc. I am clueless...

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP???

Duke, I don't know what your problem is, but I don't think that is IE framework. When I start UT, it has the Unreal Tournament logo in the middle of the screen, and when the game actually starts, you'll see a window maxamizing. I'm pretty sure that's what you're seeing.

As far as the other stuff, I don't know... you have a setup pretty close to mine, so I would think you should get around 35fps in 960x720x16.

 

[Clayeth]

maybe not 35, but at least close to it.

 

[The Duke]

Well, I know that wasn't the IE framework but I just used that as an example. Uhm, I played Deck16][ -> 7 bots, masterful -> 24 fps average... SAD!

When I freshly installed WIN98 + UT I had 35 fps average on 1024x768x32 using 4.00. So I dunno what caused it. I think reinstalling Win98 may help, if it doesn't I am without a clue BUT I don't like that idea. Reinstalling all my other games (which are working just fine) and formatting my HD isn't really an option. Too much stuff I can't backup right now. Is there a way to just delete the Windows dir and freshly reinstall or will that be useless... Will it help at all? What do you think????

Thanks

[Rooster]

Yes, you can deltree C:\WINDOWS and it's ALMOST as good as formatting your drive. You'll still have lots of junk left over in your \Program Files directory... and you'll want to backup your save games/configuration files on your programs (to a diff directory). Then you'll wanna reinstall everything. (you could delete your \Prog Files directory after you backup your stuff - making for a MUCH cleaner install)

Try uninstalling UT, then install it, the patch you want, and maybe the bonus packs. But no other skins or mods. That seems to help a LOT of people

 

[VaShooter]

Morety, I`d get the drivers for that monitor, first. Are you running the 3.84 nivda drivers on the Tnt. Also are u running in 32bit??? if so try 16 think you`ll be surprised..

let me know

Maybe I'll do that (uninstalling Win98). Not UT, done that a thousand times before.

Ran Dr.Hardware 2000 Benchmark.

Video - My Diamond Viper 770 Ultra vs. AGP 32 SDRam

BitBit MPx/s : 1 vs 41 (!)
PaintRgn MPx/s: 28 vs 24
Bitmaps/s: 21 vs 882 (!)
Icons/s: 7671 vs 5375
Chars/s: 206892 vs 225814
Polygons/s 8936 vs 8924

So the problem is obvious (!)...

What are these two things and anyone has a clue if I can fix it or something?

I am now downloading 3DMark 2000... Maybe that'll help me.

When I have get into Windows and go straight to the system dir, there are always some files like this one:

ffe0bc91_{0184D300-3EE2-11D4-9373-00409504E896}.tmp -> 0 bytes ??

Anyone has a clue if this could have anything to do with my crappy framerates?

[Morety]

It is definitely my monitor slowing down my fps. I just plugged my computer into another monitor here at work, and was spiking at 78 fps at times. On the test at home, I would not get any more than 60fps.

Rooster, strike my demostat's from your records as they'll be slower than they should be.

Help please:

I've got an imago 17sv monitor. I do not know (after repeated searches) where to get the drivers for this baby. I'm currently using the std. svga 1024x768 drivers that came with windows. (I use them because that's my desktop size.)

Any help appreciated.

ps: Good eye VaShooter.

LAughing Assasin how did you get your motherboard to recognize the P3-800?
The Bios only supports up to P3-700.

UT is configured exactly how I run the game normally: Min Framerate 0, Textures Medium, DetailTextures and Volumetric Lighting OFF.

1024x768x16: min 31.40 max 108.20 avg 55.88


Note: Quite a while back I did a ton of benchmarks to find out the highest visual settings where I could consistantly get above 30 fps for the min framerate. The best setup for me turned out to med textures, no detail textures or volumetric lighting, but leaving everything else enabled.

Special thanks to darklite for pointing out the whereabouts of this thread to me.

with incorrect monitor drivers (as listed above):

1024X768X32, all bells/whistles:
Min 21.62
Max 60.02
Avg 42.95

800X600X16, no dynamic or decals
Min 34.7
Max 60.62
Avg 55.42

With better monitor drivers (still not sure if they're the correct ones) Second run map time:

1024X768X32, all bells/whistles:
Min 22.31
Max 75.02
Avg 42.68

800X600X16, no dynamic or decals
Min 35.45
Max 100.60
Avg 63.37

As you can see, the monitor drivers didn't affect the timing where the "higher than 60fps" didn't happen much. But on the lower settings, it made a big difference.

Thanks again Rooster and VaShooter.

TheRock: I just used the "User" CPU settings in CMOS. The BX6 r2 will support up to a 9x clock multiplier with the current BIOS, so in theory you could run a P3 900 with a 100Mhz FSB. When Abit says it supports a P3 700 that's just the fastest P3 it'll auto detect.
