Curious on system HW & Frame rates.

[Stone]

I think it would be fun to know what harware people have, and what frame rates they are getting.

Maybe some one who knows computers, like skuzzy, could set up a pool with just the essential data.

Eg. for my system, that I think is the essential data:

"GeForce 9500U 256 VRAM" "Athlon XP2800 CPU" "512 DDR RAM" "7200 RPM DISK" "XP HOME" "TOWER 70fps" "Min ~20fps Max ~80fps"

If the data could be entered structured for excel or db use  so people could compare systems and maybe figure out where the bottle neck might be?

Should not be too hard to do a web page with a form that stores the data into a db?

Nice idea, but with everyone using different ingame graphical/cpu slider settings, texture sizes and vid resolutions I'm worried that there are too many variables to make the data useful.

For the record: P4 3.06, 500MHz fsb, ati radeon 9800 128Mb, 1Gb 3200 ram, XP Home.

Sliders set to give a min of 35fps (my golden number) on the deck, though a flight of smoking bombers will choke it down to the 20's.

[Skuzzy]

Nice idea, but it will not work.  You can take two identical systems, and the users will report drastically different frame rates.

Too many variables involved besides the hardware.  My 3.4Ghz P4 (Northwood) and ATI X800XT PE get (with vsync off for test purposes) anywhere from 100 to 400+ FPS.  

I already know there are faster systems out there which are performing much, much worse than that.  And there are many reasons why better system run worse.  Most of it is resource issues.

What would be great is a "estimated" value of some kind that shows what a system "should" perform at. I'd love to see some type of AH benchmark (no idea how tough that is to do) so you could post system specs and "your number"....that would make it easier to know how close your system is to being AH optimized...

30s runway, 50 to 70 furball/smoke field. 150+ alted.
3 sliders id guess are set to  all 3 90% left.

Some kind of in game benchmark, that with the users permission would send to HTC the data they need ?

"Would you like to send HTC your system info, for the benchmark database?" (Y/N)

And with that permission snif system info and slider settings etc.

I would press "Y"

Viper,

Resolution?
Sliders in game position?
Preload settings?

Not sure of the sliders, I know I played with them a bit when I had dual 6600GT's and I never changed them when I got the 6800's.

highest textures full pre-load

I am surprised how good my system is I get frames of 85, and thats only because my monitor limits me. Who knows how high it can go. In furballs it might drop down to low 20s when theres a buring plane around or something like that.

 Most of my slidders are close to preformance. To me they only enhance trees. Which I hate lol.

45-55 fps avg  ... i see 60's alot also
35 fps lowest in major furballs in the extreamest conditions


i only have 1 real glitch in the game and thats when 1st firing guns in a buff form i get a very breif game freeze ... and now and then it happens in a fighter ... exspecially in a h2h room (then i see alot of warps at the 200 distance )

i get 50's 60's in tower, and 80's in flight,

40's 50's furball
