Title: ROF video testing
Post by: TX-TOAD on December 03, 2012, 03:53:46 pm
Howdy all

Here is a track I made today to test my settings.
You will enjoy the kill I promise.

Machine specs are

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Mobo  MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3+ http://www.msi.com/product/mb/890FXA-GD70.html (http://www.msi.com/product/mb/890FXA-GD70.html)
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.5GHz        
Memory:  OCZ 4096MB RAM
          Page File: 5717MB used, 2471MB available  
GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3g FTW
         Display Memory: 711 MB
   Dedicated Memory: 3015 MB
      Shared Memory: 1791 MB
       Current Mode: 1600 x 1200 (32 bit) (60Hz) Still on CRT 19" Viewsonic Ultrabrite A90f+

Here is my results with my settings setup this way in game.
No outside GPU influence.

I'm start the benchmark at 3-5 seconds and end it a 2:27 roughly
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
  3805,    146543,  22,  33, 25.965

Time Stamp 1:41 screen shot

So far AA/AF in game works better for me than GPU outside of game does for IQ.

I'll add more as I test.

I was able to host it up over at the Dnagerdogz, but I'm not sure if you can get it there either without joining the forum.

Toad would it be possible for you to try your RoF setting
Object visibility= 80%
Forest= Very far

and maybe

reflection= High
I think you will not see much difference but gain FPS

Title: Re: ROF video testing
Post by: TX-TOAD on December 03, 2012, 05:16:44 pm
Just tried your suggestion I gain just a bit

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
  3794,    142456,  21,  33, 26.633

I've adjusted to this level  its as far as I'm willing to drop back I think.

I'll post a pic to compare in a bit.

with a 8 cores you'll get easy double that or more :)


Title: Re: ROF video testing
Post by: TX-TOAD on December 03, 2012, 08:04:28 pm
I put the CPU on Christmas list with several other things so till I know what I open up Christmas I'll hold off on the 8 core for sure. Till then this will have to do.

ROF does not use 8 cores.

It only uses 3.

I've updated bios and enabled the latest OC tweaks for the MSI software.

It has my system optimized @ 3893mhz

I just ran my track and Bench Marked in Fraps at

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
  6390,    142830,  37,  62, 44.739

Big jump, so go outside and howl at the moon a bit Gozr. ;-)

One of the Dangerdogz mentioned to click MultiGPU even though I don't have one because it helps Sure enough it did.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/T_O_A_D/Rise%20of%20Flight/test3.jpg)

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
  6783, 142872,  32,  75, 47.476

And I really can't tell any difference in what I actually see from Full switch, short more fps

Something to do with Dither


Title: Re: ROF video testing
Post by: TX-EcoDragon on December 11, 2012, 01:51:54 pm
Yeah, it looks like AF is lower, and the trees settings look lower in the second shot as well...




Title: Re: ROF video testing
Post by: GOZR on December 11, 2012, 04:20:07 pm
Yes the second shot must be the original..


Title: Re: ROF video testing
Post by: TX-TOAD on December 11, 2012, 05:58:04 pm
No the second picture is with it on.

I think my 660 is doing well enough job its not worth messing with.

I'll post one after bit with HDR on too.

Dither is funny.....if you don't use Supersampling then dither lowers image quality some, but if you do use SuperSampling it increases it!

For me, I use dither with SuperSampling, 2XAA and Bilinear AF, and HDR Medium (to make it more lifelike/less cartoon color saturation)
