For those getting low frame rates:

The demo loads initial setteings from "rthdribl.ini" or the first command line argment of rthdribl.exe. Please make reference to "rthdribl.ini" and "rthdribl_large.ini".

Basically, just backup or delete rthdribl.ini and rename rthdribl_large.ini to rthdribl.ini.

[BWMASTER]

[The more on]

Help, it doesnt run on my computer, it say "Generic aplication error" "Please activate debug mode for detailed information", and that is just after I open it

I have a Radeon 9800 pro. Does anyone know how to activate debug mode?

 

[DimitriPopov]

Unzip it.

 

[Animal]

[Sgt.Igneri]

My DX 9 card(s) can do everything.

Is that all the help?;(

 

[DimitriPopov]

Haha , well I got the same error when I tried to run the .exe while It was still in the .zip , so I unzipped it all into a folder , and it runs.

 

[Gunner]

Pressing B is a no-no lol it dropped to 3 fps at some point with bump mapping, at least I think it's bump mapping.

anyway I got some nice screens for you FX5900 owners to drool at lol

Nop, its alredy unzipped, downloaded it twice. Could be a language setting, maybe?. I have Win XP spanish version with Sp1 ect.

 

[manny_c44]

Mine know's how to make French Vanilla cofee juuuust right.

 

[Guest]

I got around 30.... BTW alt-entering it to full screen makes it run about twice as fast for me.

 

[Doobz]

i'm getting around 35-42fps with my 9800 Pro at absolute default settings without even moving my mouse over the thing

 

[gsibble]

Interesting thing:

I open it with no window behing it (ie. just the desktop) and I get around 13 FPS.
I put any window behind it (ie. Explorer or IE), and my FPS goes to 30.

RULE OF THUMB: DONT RUN THIS WITH JUST YOUR DESKTOP BEHIND IT.

 

[Guest]

Dont run it in a goddamned window... Alt enter your performance will friggin skyrocket.

 

[Animal]

Why do you have to do all this weird shiz to get better performance?

 

[BlumenKohl]

O/C Radeon 9800 pro with water cooling...

 

[Guest]

YOU DONT! ALT ENTER!!

 

[Doobz]

good lord, are you sure those are default settings? how far did you OC that card?

this is what i got with default settings on my 9800 Pro

 

[Animal]

He did have the resolution on 640X though.

 

[hunter-killer25]

i get 98 million fps on a DX 87 card..... it also changes channels and talks to me when i'm lonely, beat that

Well I did too and I have an AIW 9800 Pro and the most I get is 30-45 fps...he must've overclocked the hell outta that thing.

EDIT: By the way, how does water cooling work with a computer?

 

[BlumenKohl]

1024x768

 

[Animal]

I think it looks worse on the higher resolution.

 

[Doobz]

yeah, i'm running it at absolute defaults, that mean 640x480 on my 9800 Pro, and i get 35-42fps, how far did you OC that card man?

It flows through tubing around the card , absorbs and carries heat. I dont know a whole bunch about it , just basic concepts.

 

[DimitriPopov]

Are you guys using 9800P 128s? or 256???

 

[BlumenKohl]

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb 470/390

Pentium IV 3000mhz -> 3422mhz

You dont count , Overclocker , I need to know base 128 results.

My AIW has 128...although I'm pretty sure there isn't an AIW 256.

450ish FPS on a stock Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb.

... in a small window with the material set to air.

Note the glare and DoF disabled on top of all the other

 

[Doobz]

oh

damnit, use the default settings please

 

[Hobbit]

BlumenKohl, would you mind turning Glare, Depth of Field etc back on.... Sort of defeats the purpose of testing your card.

It's not his overclock.. but his running the demo with everything turned off which gives him a 100 FPS.
