1024 x 768 2xaa 4xaf everything at max - volumetric lights and soft shadows off.

max 155
19% < 40
81% > 40

Actually looked pretty good - small lag when entering rooms.

I get average 50 with everything at low and DX8 turned on.
3100 sempron

On 800x600, most settings medium, some high, CPU on MAXIMUM I get:

Min - 18
Avg - 32
Max - 64

Distribution

Under 25 - 9%
25 - 40 - 77%
over 40 - 14%

Best settings for me cause its playable and it still looks good

System:

wow i'm impressed with the scores my 6600GT(570/1.10)/2.1GHz Tbred-B/1gb single channel RAM@167mhz 2-3-2-6/SBLive! 24-bit rig posted, given it's getting rather long in the tooth these days...

1024, physics/sound/environment at maximum, 0xAA4xAF

Min - 20
Avg - 40
Max - 90

Distribution

Under 25 - 12%
25 - 40 - 44%
over 40 - 44%

Why dont you guys agree on a common setting that would actually make this benchmark relevant? Like putting everything on max, 4xAA, 8xAF? With those settings, even 10x7 would give all cards a good workout.

4xAA is absolutely pointless for anyone with a 6600GT or below, 2xAA is far more likely to be used (if AA is used at all with those cards)...

Then we should have 2 settings, one with no AA, and other with 4xAA. From my own experience, I cant really tell the difference between 2x and 0x, they both still look jaggy to me.

Certainly in farcry 2xAA makes a good difference i find. Still a little jaggy but far easier on the eye, and still playable in most games with my 6600GT and previously my 9800 pro @1024.

Found some more mirrors:
http://www.fileplanet.com/157279/150000...info/-F.E.A.R.-Demo-%5BMulti-Player%5D
http://www.gamespot.com/promos/2005/feardemo/index.html - gotta register, but it's free

You should be able to get a faster dling from http://www.3dgamers.com as I average out at around 2-3 Mbps using their Public Servers.

Maxed out everything but soft shadows. 2xaa/8xaf. Avg score got 49 fps forgot about min and max though, I downloaded from www.videogames.yahoo.com at 650kbs/sec with DAP, took about 14 mins .

all about yahoo servers, getting 600k+ straight

 

[Nextman916]

yup i guess so but DAP adds a little bit more it wasnt steady at 650 though sometimes it jolted to near 700 not too bad for a free program.

Avg: 102
Max: 208

100% above 40fps.

This is with the settings listed in the original post (I think).

1600x1200 everything maxed (4x FSAA/16X Aniso)

Min: 29
Avg: 50
Max: 94

30% between 25-40fps
70% above 40fps

Running the card at stock clocks. Next post will be an overclocked run.

With the card @ 500/700

Min: 33
Avg: 57
Max: 111

15% between 25 and 40fps
85% above 40fps

Go to Options>Performance and click Test Settings.

 

[ronnn]

after you change vid settings you click test settings.
edit: oops too slow

 

[Corporate Thug]

thanx guys, i'm gonna run this right now

here it is:

1280*768 0xAA/16xAF
min 37
max 240
ave 99
0% below 25

i would be very happy if i can play this game @ 16*12 with 16 AF

this is with a 7800 GTX @ stocl (BFG OC) and a 3000+ @ 1.8 ghz

hopefully, i'll get a new PSU and be able to OC the CPU to 2.5
