Graphics compatibility test - RESULTS THREAD
« on: May 12, 2009, 12:51:16 PM »
We need volunteers to download and run a test application to give us a broad compatibility test of certain components in the upcoming graphics changes.  The download is about 80 MB.

INSTRUCTIONS

1-  Download and upzip this file:  http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/gtester4.zip It will unzip to a folder called gtester.  You can put this wherever you want it on your computer. 
2-  Shut down any apps that you have open and go into the gtester folder and run the file gtester.exe. 
3-  Note whether it looks like either of the examples below or if it crashes or has any graphic anomalies.  It might be all white for example.
4-  Do not move the view or change sliders or other default settings.
5-  Press escape to go to full screen mode.
6-  Wait 10 seconds and record your frame rate and resolution.
7-  After you've completed the test, you can hole down the right mouse button while moving your mouse to manipulate your view.  Doing that while holding down the shift or control key will manipulate your world position.

Please report your results in this thread in the following format:

Your video card model. 
Did it run normal, low detail, crash, or have any graphic anomalies.
Recorded frame rate from test.  Make sure you are in full screen mode and not windowed mode when you record this.
Recorded resolution from frame rate test in full screen mode.

The two screenshots below will show you what you should see.  The first screenshot is the normal mode that most computers will see.  The second screenshot is a low detail mode that you will see if your video does not handle hardware acceleration.  Please limit replies in this thread to test results.  There is a separate discussion thread for everything else  All replies other than test results in this thread will be deleted so that we can easily parse through it.  Thanks for your help!

Stock Nvidia 8800GTX, 768MB, 1680x1050, 32 Bit.

Running 150-120FPS, all the sliders are cranked and shaders on.

Running 70-40FPS with 16x AA, all the sliders are cranked and shaders on.

Is the below normal?

nvidia 8800GTS
260.4 FPS 1280x1024
no anomalies of any type

out of curiosity ran it on my vista and win7 boots as well....

128.97 under vista
118.15 under Win7

I'm a bit surprised it ran worse under 7 then vista since win7 seems to be better optimized for everything else....

NVIDIA 8600GT
Res 1680x1050
FPS 55-45, got as low as 22 when I zoomed out really far.
Had some weird stretching of the mountains in the water reflections near the edges of the screen. Windows 7 doesn't seem to like Print screen though, I'll try it on XP.
