g400max , PIII and q3test2 (1.06)

[tombman]

PLEASE COULD SOMEONE POST BENCHMARKS !!

I am interested in 1024*768*32 , 32 bit textures , AND ALL SETTINGS TO THE MAX ( EXCEPT ONLY BILINEAR AND ONLY SKY HIGH SPEED) on the map q3testdemo1.dm3 !!

DUAL TESTS are welcome too !

My System : PIII 558 (oc) , tnt2ultra (170/190) , 320 MB ram -----> 36,6 FPS !!

You should have a PIII and a g400max !

Don´t forget : ONLY SKY HIGH SPEED and BILINEAR all else FULL DETAIL , EVEN SOUND !

[Mad man]

Well I did the test as you asked on my Herc ultra and I got 46 fps. I have a celeron at 450.

[tombman]

At what speed is your herc clocked ?
Memory and core clock ??

[Mad man]

It is clocked at the default 175/200

[tombman]

I have my creative now at 170/215 (was 170/190) and now i get 41.5 FPS , but 46 is out of reach for me ;-)

I think the memory is good on my creative but the core is weak ;-)

I hope to reach 50 with an overclocked g400max ;-)

Why did you order the part before you knew how it performed?

This brings back memories of last summer, when everyone was hoping the G200 would rock in 3D, only to see it fall flat on its face. :-)

[tombman]

I forgot , i unfortunately cannot activate
fast memory timing in powerstrip (will crash no matter at what speed..Bios prob?)

My old tnt1 from diamond accepted fast memory timing ..

[tombman]

Kettler :i read the benchmarks at id´s benchmarking page and there the g400max got 30!! Fps at 1280*1024*32 with beta drivers on a piii500 !! I now have a piii558 and new drivers are out , so i think at 32 bit the g400max will ROCK !!!

joel could you please explain to me how you overclocked your g400 to 150/200 is there a setting around 150/180 could you maybe explain how to set up the dividers for these speeds.thanks

[Joel]

Using the G4SET utility which you can get under Utilities at the following URL

grafi.ii.pw.edu.pl/gbm/matrox

I set
SClk to 300
GClk Div to 1/2 = 150
MClk Div to 2/3 = 200
WClk Div to 1/2 = 150

[tombman]

Oh . COME ON GUYS , JUST ONE SINGLE F*CKING
BENCHMARK NUMBER !!!!! THAT TAKES NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES !!!

Or is the g400max worse than a tnt2ultra ??
I have ordered one , SO PLEASE DON´T LET ME DOWN !!!!

Cu.......

[Joel]

The problem could be that not many people have a PIII running at 558 o/c. Plus I can tell you that based on the couple of hours that I spent on-line last night playing Q3test that the timedemo is IMO still broke.

Joel

AMD K6-2/400 with the G400 o/c to 150/200.

[tombman]

I have tested myself A LOT with the new timedemo and i think it works perfectly now . All numbers show what i had expected .

If someone has a CPU faster than 500 Mhz IT WOULD BE OK TOO !!

SO PLEASE GIVE ME SOME NUMBERS !!!! (hehe)

marcel: something is messed up with g4set because I have the same problem

[MarcelM]

Yeah, I would say so.....

Annyway, there is something wrong with
the G400 OpenGL 2.

I read the performance of Tombman
36.6 FPS on an TNT2 Ultra.... Hmmmm

I only get, ahm.... hehhehe yeah, well
8 FPS at 1024 * 768 * 32 and all options set
2 high.... even the Sky and trilleniar filtering.....

Damn, what the heck is Matrox doin'????
