Compare Q3 Scores please...

[Sanjuro Makabe]

Can anyone please compare their Q3:A scores with me?
timedemo 1
demo demo001
1024x768 32bit everything
trilinear
and max all the settings for details...etc...

I am only getting 21.3 fps
and around 30fps with bilinear and medium settings

PIII 550E@733
ASUS P3V4X
G400Max
SBLive!
PD5.52...no TGL...(I get white flicker screen if I use TGL)
Win98se

anyone?

With my lowly BX (ABit BE6) running my coppermine 550 at 733, with a G400 16MB OEM clocked at Max speed I get the following:

1024, All settings on max with Trilinear filtering ON---32.0 Fps
same as above but with Bilinear and detail slider bumped down one notch---39.6 FPS

What is wrong with your setups, guys? or is it just my 174mhz vanilla making all the difference?

on fastest at 640x480x16 i get 55,5 fps,

with all at max at 640x480x16 but, bilinear, and high geometry complexity i get 45,5fps
changing the depth do 32bits i get 43 fps

with all at max at 800x600x16, bilinear, and high geometry i get 44.3fps

on default high quality setting i get 39fps(trilinear) and 43fps(bilinear)

hail to king, baby or g400 for that matter


All of this with TGL 1.3

hey!!! what´s wrong with me?

Good question leporis what IS wrong with you? Can't read, or what??...try the settings that I posted.

leporis,

I just ran demo001 on fastest settings 640X480--89.1 FPS

Rags

[leporis]

Well that was strange!

rags i did thos e settings and i get 16fps with trilinear and 34fps with the detail bar droped to the 2nd higher

I guess i can blaime my agp1x for that, What do you say?

[leporis]

Rags, those 39 fps are quite low aren´t they?
what´s your agp speed? it must be 1x, right?

[skinner]

I get;
everything at the max 32 z-buffer trilinear 32 z-buffer
1280x1024x32 13.5

without 32 z-buffer:
1280x1024x32 16.7
1024x768x32 25.5

withou z-buffer and bilinear:
1024x768x32 34.4

irq 11 for the G400
a little to low i think, but i don't know what else to do but the imagequality is the best i've ever seen, that's holding me off of buying a GeForce

Rags - sorry to go OT but any tips RE O/C that CPU?. Thanks!

Hmm that was jargon-tastic!

[Rags]

The only thing I can say is that I got a good retail 550E, using the stock HSF, have an ABit BE6, and the G400 allows the AGP to be overclocked. At 825, I had to have the voltage bumped up to 1.7 and the CAS timing for memory set to 3. I run it at 733 with my own memory set to CAS 3, and I have AGP 2X enabled by default both in win2k and win98.

Rages, is it a flip chip CPU or did you get one of the new Slot 1 550E's?

Sanjuro, it's your motherboard. I have one too.

In Quake3, I got a frame rate drop of 20 FPS from my BX scores after installing the P3V4X and the not so magical 4.17 VIA drivers. (All the other components are the same.)

I have to admit, I'm not very familiar with the chipset, but the early results aren't encouraging.

Paul,

It is a Flip Chip in an ABit SlotKET III

Paulcs...
I posted this topic not because I really want to get the best scores in Q3...I wouldn't mind though...hehe....I am not really into Q3 anyways...UT is still the best...just that some other games might use Q3 engine...and a better performance in OpenGL might be a good idea...

I have the 4.17 4in1 drivers, 1003.01 bios, PD5.52...and still struggling in getting TGL to work...I can only get TGL1.3 to work when I am using the version 4 of the AGP drivers and PD5.30...for now...I guess I'll have to wait until the next release of the bios...*sigh*...

it's sad to say that my previous PII450 + BH6 is no different than my PIII550@733 + VIA rite now...very wierd...
