UT2003 benchmarks

[lecter]

Well the demo is out, new drivers are out, so might as well see how the Parhelia stacks up to the competition. I ran UT2003Demo/System/Benchmark.exe and these were the results (w. GigaColor and Trilinear filtering enabled all the way)

1024x768 noAA: 113.557869
55.893055


1024x768 FAA: 65.161781
45.150635

1280x960 noAA: 78.214691
50.191734

1280x960 FAA: 45.915192
32.743443

Only 1024x768 benchies from me

Ok, here are my benchmarks:
1024x768, no FAA, Trilinear Filtering:
110,207642
45,729465

1024x768, no FAA, Aniso Filtering:
81,198006
43,004406


Unfortunatly I can't offer you any 16xFAA benchies yet, please have a look at my "UT2003 problems" thread in the gaming forum.

About the look and feel:
In the benchmark both AF and FAA makes the game a lot slower in flyby mode, you can see it above with Trilinear vs. Aniso, AF is almost 30fps slower there. In bot match mode the performance lost is much slower, that goes for FAA and AF, you can see it above that AF is just 2,7fps slower than Trilinear.
The game itself plays good, I am playing it in 1024x768, 16xFAA, Trilinear. I just played a 16 player botmatch on the bombing run map, and it ran ok, not really fast but playable.

Well here's the results with my R7500.

1024x768x32 no AA no Aniso

Flyby: 67,9 fps
Botmatch: 34,3 fps

Where can I get the demo and how do I benchmark it?

Found it!

To benchmark it, just go to the "\system" folder in the UT2003 directory and selsct benchmark.exe

Looks like i need a CPU upgrade.

That's weird Guru, you have a huge gap between the two modes, 20-30fps more than everyone else...what CPU do you have?

[Admiral]

Since this is the proper forum I'll put my GeForce 3 TI200@240/500 results in:

800x600x32 trilinear: Flyby 91, Botmatch 32
800x600x32 with 8x anisotropic: Flyby 78, Botmatch 31
800x600x32 with 8x anisotropic and Quincunx AA: Flyby 54, Botmatch 30

1024x768x32 trilinear: Flyby 89, Botmatch 31
1024x768x32 with 8x anisotropic: Flyby 57, Botmatch 31
1024x768x32 with 8x anisotropic and Quincunx AA: Flyby 36, Botmatch 26

Duh, i didn't used the new drivers in my previous test. I just found out that there where new ones.

after installing i got these results:

Resolution 1024-768
16x FAA on
Trilinear on
Flyby: 69.138535
Botmatch: 29.519949

Resolution 1024-768
16x FAA off
Trilinear on
Flyby: 79.487053
Botmatch: 29.578671

New drivers have a nice performance boost.

Strange that FAA makes no difference in Botmatch. Or does this mean that the botmatch is very CPU limited?

PIV 1.8a @ 2GHz+

Botmatch is indeed most influenced by CPU speed most....

As for my benchies:

1024x768 FAA ANISO

56,37

1024x768 no FAA, default filtering

114, 52

For what it's worth, here's mine with a GF 4 4600 (detonator 40.41) on my T-Bird 800@ 960 or so....

800x600x32 no AA no aniso
flyby: 76.45
botmatch: 24.02

800x600x32 no AA 8x aniso
flyby: 76.43
botmatch: 24.05

800x600x32 AA 8x aniso
flyby: 69.86
botmatch: 22.80

With the level recommended number of bots, all of these seem to be playable - for me at least, although it starts to stutter a little with high action....

Time for a new processor....

I don't think you really want 1024x768 with those results, but lemme know and I'll do it.

That will be REAL nice if UPS pays for it... lol
