400mb for a simple tool to test your FPS? :eek:
I know fighting games that are smaller!

Azza · 15-06-2009 1:50am

Okay I just ran this several times.....and its absolutly hilarious!

Okay here are my rig specs
Intel Core Duo e8400 @ 3.00Ghz
4GB 1066mhz DDR 2
Gainward HD 4870 512MB
Windows Vista 64bit Ultimate
150GB Western Digital Raptor

First thing I did was max the settings out
1920x1200
16xAF (Texture Filtering)
8XAA
Vsync Enabled
Frame Rate Locked

You have options for
Frame Rate (fixed or variable)
Vsync
Aspect Ratio (4:3, 16:9, 16:10)
Brightness
Anti Aliasing
Texture Filter (AF)
Parallel Rendering
Model Quality
Soft Shadows
Self Shadows
Background Quaility
Motion Blur
Particles

Ran the test 4 times with each of the graphics filters.
For the whole time pretty much wedged to 59.6-59.9 FPS
Only during some of the character entrance scenes where a the frame rate very briefly (about 1 second) dropped to about 56-57 frames.
In one of the 4 run throughs during Ryus Ultra animation the frame rate briefly dropped to 50.0fps but it was not during controlable gameplay so it was irrelevant.
Graphics filfters had no affect on performance.

Then I ran it with Vsync disabled and frame rate set to variable. My frame rate started averaging out at 85fps. This caused the game to run considerable faster. Imagine 3 times the speed of Super Turbo!

So that got me thinking how high can I get my frame rate. So I turned the game down to its lowest possible settings at 1920x1200.
FPS average =274
Game ran at super hyper speed.

I then ran it at the resolution of 640x400 its lowest resolution setting.
FPS=645
Game went into warp speed. The sound could not keep up.
Normaly the demo needs about 3-4 minutes to run through at 60fps but was over in about 25 seconds at this speed!

Also the funniest thing about lowest settings is that it does not even render a background. You fight in a pitch black box! Looks so stupid with screen tearing going ape ****, and gens flashing ultra!

I can safely say Capcom have done a great job with this.
You will need an awful PC not to get this running at 60FPS on the lowest settings.

Nice one azza, thats good to know!

Cunny-Funt · 15-06-2009 11:31am

Some good detailed info there m8, I hope the game doesn't require the cd to be in the machine to play, I wanna have it on both my laptop on PC.

Azza · 15-06-2009 2:25pm

I'd imagine the retail version will require a disc in the drive. Its using SecuROM for its DRM but not a version that has activiation limits which normaly does not require the disc in the drive.

You could always get it off Impulse or Steam. They won't require the disc in the drive.

can't you just register it with steam even if you don't buy it from them? Also cheers for the benchmark tool.

Azza · 15-06-2009 3:50pm

No you can't register the retail copy with Steam I'm afraid. Its something your able to do with only a very few games.

thelinked · 15-06-2009 4:05pm

This thing is awesome. I managed to get it up to about 300-400FPS on lowest settings.
For some reason, AA breaks the game for me.

Azza · 15-06-2009 4:07pm

In what way.

Whats your PC spec and what settings can you run it at properly?

thelinked · 15-06-2009 8:11pm

Ok, my pc is.
Intel Core 2 q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
2GB DDR 2
Nvidia Geforce 8800 gts 320MB
Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

My drivers are 185.85 which are the latest.

I was able to max everything except for AA at my native resolution(1680X1050) and run close to 60fps. If I turn on AA all I get is a black screen. I can hear the pre fight screen but there is no sound after that.

Azza · 15-06-2009 8:42pm

Must be a driver bug. No issues with AA here but I have an ATI card.

Dreddybajs · 16-06-2009 5:24am

I can't run this very well, looks like I'll be skipping it.

Try the latest beta drivers:

Also are you doing any sort of overclocking on any of your components?

cherryghost · 16-06-2009 10:46am

Pentium D 2.8ghz
8600GT
1GB RAM
XP SP3

Runs at 60fps smoothly, although I have AA turned off. Will defo be getting this for my main pc (Q6600, 8GB RAM, GTX 260)

Did not take long but there is already custom skins being made for the PC version.

Nothing too spectacular yet but here are new Cammy and Chun Li skins.

But they'll be like Barbie dolls.
Besides, half the beauty of Sakura Alt.10 is that she's still wearing something skimpy...

Think your gpu is the weak link in your setup. Still you should be able to get 60fps on a mixture of medium/low.

What resolution you running at and what settings?

AA and all the fancy filters off, originally ran it on 1280x1024, didn't get much difference by lowering the resolution.

I think the fan in the graphics card is dodgy these days, maybe that's it somehow.

Kirby · 16-06-2009 8:22pm

Impressed with the engine tbh. Ran it maxxed everything at 1920x1200 and it was solid as a rock. All 3 fights was stuck at 60 fps.....never left it once. The 4th test with the cast standing around, it dropped to 55fps though. But all the intro's, moves, and gameplay was solid and thats all that matters really.

The Ink filter is definately the coolest looking.

Having said all that, Im still not sure it's worth another 50 quid. I already have it on the xbox so I'll have to wait and see.

Azza · 16-06-2009 8:51pm

Its suppose to retail for €39.99 not €50 and I'm sure some online distrabutors will sell it at around €30.00. Remember PC games are normally cheaper than console games.

I heard Tesco UK where going be selling it for £17.99

Kirby · 16-06-2009 9:21pm

Good point. Actually, SF4 was always cheap. I'd forgotten that I got it on launch day for 36 quid. Infact, its 23 quid in HMV at the moment. It may very well be cheaper than I thought. Worth picking up again for that price.

Azza · 16-06-2009 9:26pm

Good Kirby...I need a delicious Dhalsim player to perfect my pyshco power on!

Kirby · 16-06-2009 9:33pm

Well you didn't need much help last saturday

.

I always struggle against pyscho man....your one in particular had me pressured like hell in the corner.... mistiming my back+roundhouse and flailing about . The only fight where I was well beaten.... gotta remedy that with some anti-bison practice. Maybe I can win more than one match against ye next time.

Its one of the few fights where ex yoga blast is useful and I didn't use it....and got stuffed close range with slides. Dhalsim shall train his foot for footsies next time.

Azza · 16-06-2009 9:55pm

Think your mistaking me with Blag. I only played you once and just about scrapped a win. I'm not too experienced playing a decent Sim so I'd like to learn the match up.

Kirby · 16-06-2009 10:34pm

Am I? I remember fighting two bisons. The first was my first fight there and I had a tough time of it. Was much better against the second Bison.

Gah. Nametags next tme people
