how many people that are playing the beta that has an 8800gts/gtx? just wanted to see some screenies :)

8800GTS - Pics are @ 1600x1200 due to Google resize but I can run the game with zero problems at 16:10 aspect ratio and 1920x1200.

Image quality is phenominal.

Great work so far SplashDamage!

The 8800GTX will ensure that you can keep that res at a full 60FPS. Don't cheap out on a GTS. Just spend the little extra bit for a GTX.

[Murock]

yea here is a pic of mine but I have the 8800gts 320bit and I get around 80 frames in quake wars with everything maxxed out in control panel and including ingame. 1280x1024 res with 16x AA

[J3ST3R]

Are you sure its 80FPS?

I watch mine constantly and it never goes below 60.

I would have bought a GTX but needed to save some money since I was on a tight budget.

[fungry]

i gots 8800gts 320mb. but no beta key :(. what help am i haha!

lots of ppl got good cards :)

[Murock]

yea dude my maxxed that I had was 94 frames and also this is an gts.

I unlocked the fps and I used fraps and get the same

Very nice, what is the command to unlock the FPS?

I also overclocked the graphics card as the gtx standard clock :)

well I had to do a couple diffrent ways but give this a try and just fool around with it


try
com_unlockFPS 1 or to turn off type 0 - this is the master cvar. If you do not set this to '1' then it will never attempt to exceed 30fps.

com_unlock_timingMethod 2 - this selects one of three timing methods for unlocked frames:

com_unlock_maxFPS 1 I think or 2

btw if you play on high res like I do then sli gts works better than a single gtx and it's just a little more expensive.

I have the 8800gtx i am actually quite disappointed with the fps performance in this game i thought it would have been higher with the mega texturing hype

i only get around 60 to 120, it holds a steady 90s indoors but open large spaces it does slip a bit.

I'm running a 8800GTS 320mb with everthing on high, 4XAA and had no lag whatsover, I never did pull down the console and check my frames but I didn't notice any issues at all that would relate to video lag and the game looks really awesome.

i'm getting freezing with my 8800GTS 640. Not sure if it is the driver though. Temps are 60C idle and 71C load. Drivers I'm using are 162.50's. The signs are that the audio skips and then the screen freezes for a fraction of a second, then it continues for a minute or so and then freezes again for a longer period and then locks up completely. Anyone else seen this problem?

Yes I'm getting this since the update. The audio skips and judders then 10 seconds later the ground texture goes psychedelic and the game crashes. This time I got a 'Fatal Error' saying pak004.pk4 couldn't be reopened or something. PC locked up and I had to reboot.

To those having performance problems, try clearing out your video driver with DriverCleaner and then downgrading. A number of people have had issues with the lastest drivers from NVidia. I'm using 158.22, for example, and have zero problems and maintain great framerates with settings maxed, 1680x1050 resolution.

[JBRAA]

I've tried DriverCleaner once. It didnt go so well for me. I couldnt get into windows after that, not even in safe mode I think.

I have an EVGA 8800 GTS 640 Mb

Aggh mine is coming next week! I have no idea what to expect though. Went from an Asus Silent 7600 512mb to an evga 8600gts and actually got performance drops (wtf?). I put the 7600 back in and am getting good FPS at mid-range settings.


Did the step up program, and if the the 8800 under performs like the 8600, I'll have to assume my older mobo and CPU just can't hang anymore or there are driver issues. I definitely won't make that assessment based of QW, though. There seems to be little uniformity in hardware/performance at present build.

[rigged]

E6850 @ 3GHz, 8800GTS 320 (500/1600), 2GB DDR2 800 (4-4-4-12-1T, running linked 1:1 with the CPU, so running about 667MHz)

I get a pretty constant 40-45fps when running with everything on high/ultra and 8xAA and 16xAF (via in game controls, not forced) @ 1600x1200-60Hz.

That was measured with FRAPS while playing "computer" mode against bots (23 Bots, plus me playing. (12v12).

I did have it drop to 20-25 fps once when I went into the building that is infrom of the MCP deploy spot, I walked in there and there must have been about 12 bots in there fighting....

I do notice that my frame rate drops about 10fps when I go inside any of the buildings, or sewer. I might be getting around 45 coming out of the tunnel, but if I go in that building just to the left of the tunnel exit, I drop to about 35.....

I feel the game is pretty playable, I am only running at 1600x1200 to see how the "real world" performance is for when I get the widescreen that I am planing on running 1680x1050 on.

I have to jump online to see how the performance on a server is. I am hoping I pick up a few FPS without running the bots....but with my CPU I think I am mostly GPU limited right now. I only see about 80% load max on 1 core and 20-40% on the other, and nTune monitor shows about 50-60% CPU.

I am pretty happy, but wondering if I should use the EVGA trade up to go 8800GTS 640, or GTX. I guess I have 90 days to decide. I got the 320 to save cash and figured I could get another one fairly cheap in 6 months and run SLI, but now im not sure. I was really hoping to break at least 60 FPS with the above settings @ 1600x1200.

8800GTX was definately expensive, but I feel it was a worthy addition to my PC.

I was debating between the 640 Superclock and the GTX and I decided it was good to get the GTX and spend the extra money.

As far as screenshots, I don't think you want any from me, I don't make the game look as sexy as possible :) I try to keep a consistent frame rate.

If you have the money to step up, I would get an 8800GTX one 8800GTX should out perform to 320s. Remember, SLi does not double your texture memory, so you'd be using still 320MB. Also, for monitors 22" and above it is recommended to have atleast 512 Texture memory.

I would step up to a GTX, you won't be disappointed.

You can actually get a great gaming system to run this game for probably around $800-$1000 American.

I don't know if that is beyond your budget but Intel and AMD have slashed prices on all of their proccessors, if you have the means now I recommend you buy.

You realize that if your machine can only render 59 fps for a moment your fps will drop to 30 because you have v-sync enable right?

Right now I only have ETQW loaded on it (just put it together on wen.) and I put the sims 2 on there for my wife :rolleyes: (ok, I kinda like it too, lol).

Anyway I have a few more games to load on there any test out, I will also still be in the setup till early nov, so I think I will see how ETQW retail plays, as well as a few other things that come out.

yeah I do know that 30-59 frames per second = 30 frames. But it never ever hits 60 FPS now. if it could perform better than 60 (even though it'll only push 60 frames still), then certain areas would allow the card to output 60 FPS. but that never ever happens in Beta 2 for me.

Are people exaggerating their performance just a bit? If I max everything or even nearly everything then I don't get anywhere near 60fps constantly. In most close combat it will go down to 30fps and sometimes even lower. 8800GTS 320. 1280x1024

[GreasedScotsman]

I think it's time to add the obligatory CVAR post when it comes to FPS issues:

com_unlockFPS - If you do not set this to '1' then the game will never attempt to exceed 30fps because the renderer is capped by the game Hz.

com_unlock_timingMethod - this selects one of three timing methods for unlocked frames:

0: This will try rendering another frame whenever it estimates it has enough time left for rendering before the next game frame is done. This will give you the highest possible framerate, however it can lead to frame "bunching". To many this feels really jerky - 200fps in the best case is no good if its regularly dropping to 60fps.

1: This is similar to method 0, but instead of squeezing in rendering whenever it can it tries to space them at even multiples of 30fps. This is a slight improvement over method zero in terms of smoothness, but sacrifices some FPS.

2: This is the same as method 1, but instead of estimating if it can fit another rendering frame using only the render time estimate it estimates using the total time of game + renderer.

Hypothetical explanation: Lets say the time between two game frames was meant to be 10ms. Game + render time takes 5ms, leaving 5ms left. Rendering only took 2.5ms. Method zero would then render two more graphical frames before the next game frame - in effect feeling like the game should be running at 400fps but dropping a frame every 10ms, giving it a jerky feel. With this method it would only draw a single extra frame so it wouldn't feel sporadic. You'd only get 200ms however.

com_unlock_maxFPS - this only does anything if com_unlock_timingMethod is set to 1 or 2. This limits the maximum fps your PC will try to achieve. This will be rounded to the next lowest multiple of 30 - eg if you set this to 59 it will in effect be treating the maximum as 30. This helps to control the fluctuation sometimes prevalent.

I made a few changes to the above quote but it should give you an idea of what each CVAR is and does.

And yeah, Fatfool, you'll want to turn off V-sync.

Hrmm, I am very similar to your setup. I cant get past 92xx in 3dmark06. I just download the free version and run the benchmark (no adjustable settings)...is this how you are running it? Not that it matters much to me, I really only care about "real world" performance....but I was just wondering.

n680I SLI

Running back to back 3dmark06, its always in the 9210-9290 range. I have all the latest drivers for everything, including the new bios. Windows XP-SP2 all up to date....ect.

I tried runnning the ram at 5:4 ratio so I could get the ram running at 800MHz with 4-4-4-15 1T, but it was the same range as 667MHz with 4-4-4-12 1T.

Also when you say "Quake Wars - Max @ 1600x1200 - 40-100 fps" are you what AA/AF are you running?

I run it at the same res, with everything max (high/ultra) and 8xAA and 16xAF and get about 30-50FPS, with my avg being ~45FPS...

I am going to try to keep everything the same but see what I can get with 4xAF (since it can stress the card a lot for a very small improvement, but leave the 16xAF since the 8800 cards seem to only loose a few frames from 8xAF to 16xAF).
