the nonsense goes on - Nexuiz 2.4 benchmark

[Urmel]

Having upgraded almost all parts of my hardware up to a system with Intel C2D E6750, 2G of PC800 RAM, a new Asus P5K Mainboard, SATA drives only and from today on a Zotac GF 9600GT Amp! Edition (YAY!!!), I was interested in the performance of my "new box" and started some benching.

I ran a plain Nexuiz without any hotfixes and no config.cfg and started the benchmark with

Code: Select all

timedemo/demos/demo1

, twice for every config preset (low, medium, normal, high, ultra, ultimate), in addition the ultimate preset with HDR. Screen Resolution was set to EDIT: 1024x768 (Fullscreen). (updated, esteel told me to set it to default instead of 640x480 and repeat everything)

For this reason I ran the demos twice each preset:

There is a small flaw in the benchmark method in 2.0.

The first time you run a demo, it compiles shaders as you need them, which is kind of a slowdown, the second time it keeps them precompiled and can run considerably faster.

This doesn't seem to have changed throughout 2.4.

And here are my results:

low
result 1910 frames 6.1970000 seconds 308.2136518 fps, one-second fps min/avg/max: 218 323 690

and btw, I use a slightly fresh Win XP Pro SP2.

So please, get your machines running and post your results and system specs here. You 'll find it all in a benchmark.log in the \data folder. I'm waiting for you!

gimme your box, I merit it more than you !

config :
- amd64 3000+ @ 2900Ghz
- 4*256 ddr ram
- sapphire ati x800xl
- mb dfi lanparty nf4ultra

runnin on winxp sp2
1024*768 res

running nexuiz-sld with the last hotfix. I have firefox runnin while the test.
strange thing : I ear the sound only on the first timedemo ...

Runnin all cfg twice,
maybe my results are a bit wrong cause I have 130fov

high ultra and ultimate have not big difference ...

I have firefox runnin while the test.

You might better quit FF for it eats you resources like hell ! On my company PC which is a 2.6Ghz P4 with a GF7600GS I got half of the fps while playing when it's active. However with dual screen and a 1650x1050 resolution.

- sapphire ati x800xl

You might want to check 2.4.1 when its out or ask someone for a UPTODATE engine (the hotfix does not yet have it) as there were some changes for cards in that range that should give a nice speedup..

Nice neiuwz ^^
but my x800xl is a bit old now, why dev decided to improve this old gpu ?
When it will be out ?

[esteel]

Well it was planned for the weekend but there is still something missing.. i hope soon.
And for why.. i guess because it could be done?

The Phoronix Test Suite includes Nexuiz 2.4. You could use that as a standard benchmark. It also puts it together in to an online results thingy:
