The Benchmark thread.

[Suntory_Times]

I thought it could be fun to start of a benchmark thread to see how well you can run games. You can use fraps etc, (eg: whatever program you wish) to get this info. If you could post the specs of your machine that would be great, as well as your results (with how they where captured), and what settings you where running the game in (and if you where using any mods etc).

I got a toshiba laptop. (Satellite series L655D- S5050) which has an ATI HD 4200 laptop graphics card. I can play source games fine on it (Team Fortress 2 (choppy at 1080p though), Counter Strike: Source), I also can play far cry 2 at 720p (Low Settings can "run" at 1080p).

The one game I cannot play that I have is Battlefield Bad Company 2. It's dying even at xga settings on low. I'm not sure how I got through the beginning of it. Funny my lappy outspecs the xbox 360 yet the xbox 360 versions runs like a hgih powered gaming rig.

The 360 does not run like a high powered gaming rig, in fact it is not even close. The reason the 360 is 'more efficient' is that games can be tweaked for that specific set-up. Far-cry 2 on 360 and ps3 fells choppy, blurry and undetailed once you have played it all on full at 1080p at 60fps using v-sync on pc (was just playing this last night). Anyway this is a pc benchmark thread, I shall post some of my results later today.

Okay, here we go.

Specs are as follows:

CPU: Core i7 970 @ 4.0Ghz
Video Card: XFX 5970 @ 900/1200
Memory: 6GB DDR3 Corsair 1600
OS: Windows 7 64
Mobo: Asus P6D X58

Crysis Warhead, Max Settings 0 AA 1920x1080

Crysis, everything on very high including motion blur on full, dx10 on and running in the 64 bit version (note: I saw a dramatic decrease in performance when I run this benchmark, i'm not sure why). The results are still good, but no where near as good as how it actually runs. Game is bieng run at 1080p with v-sync off for the benchmark

My Rig: as above post

Far Cry 2, everything set to highest level, 1080p. v-sync off (though I play with it on and it remains at 60 fps throughout). Only using one of my graphics cards (only one is needed to max everything out for me)

Updated above posts. I'm having issues with the Dragon Age 2 demo. I shant be buying the full game until I know such issues have been resolved.
