Doom v0.02 Benchmark Thread

[DosFreak]

1. Delete the doomconfig.cfg file in the BASE directory.
2. Execute Doom.
3. Hit the ~ key
4. Use r_mode 0-8 to change resolution:

0=320X240
1=400X300
2=512X384
3=640X480
4=800X600
5=1024X768
6=1152X864
7=1280X1024
8=1600X1200


Type vid_restart to initite video change.

**If screen goes black for awhile do not worry. Doom is recompiling graphics. If Doom does crash 9/10 it will drop back to the desktop.

5. Type in timedemo activate_demo1
6. When demo is done hit the ~ key and note the fps.

So what trick is being played to so that when the frame rate hits 31.2 or whatever, that magic number is maintained?

my guess is, when you are playing at 1600x1200 with 16x etc, you are actually playing at reduced settings which the game is choosing.

That's a guess, mind you, and I would like to know the answer, for curiosity sake.

i thnik that the cpu limit the radeon9700 pro
the cpu can not send more information to the radeon 9700 pro so the framerate stay at 31.2 fps
with a powerfull cpu the framerate at higher resolution or detail would grow up
but this cpu is too slow for the radeon

I did reply in another thread, but installing the Intel Application Accelerator 2.3 beta fixed this for me

Could someone with a Parhelia do a benchmark? I'm really curious about the results...
