F.E.A.R. video stress test

[monster64]

In the new FEAR multiplayer demo, there is a timedemo and when you run it it tell you your min, avg, and max fps. Please run this test at 1024x768 x2 aa/x 4 af, maximum physics and sound, volumetric lights and soft shadows off, and report your scores. You can run it at a higher setting and post your scores too. Whatever makes you happy. Please don't forget to post the amount of ram you have, your video card, and your cpu. Also the %s that it gives you.

*Also, please describe how the game looked at the setting(s) you played at. I'm just trying to find a sweet spot for people in terms of performance and graphics quality.

OK I'll start:
40 FPS min
62 FPS avg
123 FPS max

below 25 fps - 0%
25-40 fps - 2%
above 40 fps - 98%

Game looked pretty good, only a few edges were crude due to the low level of AA. Barely noticable though. Other than that the game looked great.

hooray! a real benchmark!

site must be hammered, is taking forever to download.

1024x768 isnt a very good GPU res for benching.

 

[monster64]

Yeah it is, I tried looking for other dl links, but thats the only one I can find. Used a download manager and it stayed at 200+ kbs and dled in 20 mins off download.com

Nice people, keep them coming. Don't forgot to say how the game looked at your setting and if it was worth the fps drop/raise.

Every single thing maxed out 1024x768

350064 @ 2.4GHz
7800gt @ 456/1.15
1GB pc3200

But I'd much rather play it on the auto detect settings which gives me 92 fps and almost averything maxed out.

above 40 fps - 100%

Everything max with at 1024x768 x2 aa/x 4 af, maximum physics and sound, volumetric lights and soft shadows off.

Oh yeah I had soft shadows on.

I'm suprised by the max fps score- looks like FEAR works well with SLI. It looks like FEAR uses SFR. My 6800GT's are run at stock gpu/mem speed.

 

[Nextman916]

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 .

How come my GTX never drops below 45 FPS yet 2x 6800 GT does?

 

[hans030390]

hmmmm where is the timedemo at? i couldnt find it

 

[n7]

Http mirrors = stupid on the first day of a release.

Torrentz are perfect for this stuff: http://www.filerush.com/download.php?target=fear_mpdemo_en.exe

That's why I upgraded to a 7800GTX from two 6800GT.

My guess is because it uses SFR. If you watch the load balancing during the demo there were 2 places where one 6800 GT did most of the work- when you get to the water reflections and at the end when the barrel explodes. This is what I get when I only run one 6800GT:

min 27
max 49
avg 107

That is my educated guess. So I would say in heavy shader areas (which I assume those 2 spots are when everything is maxed) the 6800GTs don't work well in SFR. I am going to try to force AFR to see how it works.

Nah, forget getting another 512, I will eventually get 2gb instead. And thanks about the name thing.
