Official Doom 3 Benchmarks

[^Ben]

Just on a offtopic note.

The amd 64 series has had a price drop and the XP series has had a price increase.

That's so true. Besides the difference in cards from those benchmarks is what? 10fps? pfff!

10 fps can make quite a difference.

60fps - \o/

50 fps - mmmmmmmm

40 fps - can notice the choppiness :/

30 fps - my eyes!

20 fps - slide show

What I think is save money for the 512MB ATI480 OR NV48 coming november or december 2004. I know its a long time to wait but ............:dozy:

 

[Hudson]

Looks like I will be doing okay on my 9800XT. I wish I had a pimped out nvidia card though

20 fps - slide show

20 fps is hardly a slide show. It's choppy, but if you want a slide-show, try playing at 5-10fps.

Will my AMD Athlon XP 3200+, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb and 768 RAM run it fine?

20 fps - slide show

Incorrect.

30 FPS - smooth

27 FPS - choppy, hiccups

24 FPS - official unplayable framerate, movies are capped at this.

5 to 10 FPS - slideshow

I can't believe you can say 30 FPS "my eyes!", Halo for the xbox was fixed at 30 FPS and was very smooth (with hiccups here and there), but 30 FPS is very playable, albeit slow-paced.

That's on a tv, which makes a big difference.

On a monitor I find 30 fps pretty choppy.

 

[kungfucheez]

Yeah 30 fps on a moniter is ok but i notice an fps change up to around 50 or 60, maybe its just me

 

[Asus]

GTA VC is capped to 30FPS I believe, yes the PC version. As long as there is no change in frame rate you don't know any better.

Nvidia improved their performance in FarCry but they are not ahead in that game. The X800XT PE even bests the OCed card, 6800U Extreme. Link
GT is the better card at the price point though (Over the X800Pro) but for the 500$ cards I'd still buy a X800XT PE, especially for HL2.

ATI's card's don't cheat at AF. The X800 series use adaptive filtering. They also have used adaptive AA for sometime. Carkmack just says he doesn't like the idea of analyzing texture data but there is no loss in quality.

 

[ShadowFox]

30fps is quite fine, IMO. It is only when you get around 15 that it becomes a slide show.

 

[ray_MAN]

Some people are more sensitive to frame-rates. With my old Ti 4200 I was playing all games at 30 FPS, even Far Cry. It was as smooth as butter. Now, with my 9800 Pro, I notice the 20 frame difference.

 

[Deadline]

Wasn't there a program that was specifically designed to show you what your eyes can and cannot notice? Like half the screen would run at, say, 50 FPS and the other you could make run at 30 fps.... like said before. You cant notice the diffrence unless it is compared to something else.

 

[kungfucheez]

There was a program? It would be cool if you could find it again, but usually i dont notice an fps change above 40 fps, so anything really above that for me doesnt matter cause i cant see the difference
