shakey Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Welp then I'm basically sold. If it is cross platform somehow, it will just be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted June 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think Street Fighter IV looks impressive on the PC. It's not Crysis or anything but it looks and runs well. Cross-platform play would've made the game near perfect. Unfortunately, Capcom considered it but decided not to support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Capcom considered it but decided not to support it. +1 Yup, its shaping up to be a great game, cant wait! :) Sethos - Personally, I think you have steered this thread 'way off topic' with your derogatory remarks, almost to the point of 'trolling' behaviour, something I've seen on a much lesser scale here, but with ones warning bar rising considerably as a result. Are you exempt from such practices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted June 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2009 Sethos isn't the one to blame. All he did was state his opinion on the game's graphics. Other people who won't be named incited an argument and the thread went out of control. Let's just end it here. Respect other people's opinions, even if you think it's far fetched. Back on topic, I re-ran the benchmark with the latest Catalyst 9.6 drivers and gained a couple of FPS. :D Anyway, has anyone noticed something when you disable v-sync? The benchmark appears to run faster than it should. It's as if somebody hit the fast forward button. Enabling v-sync fixes it but that limits you to 60 FPS at most. For the purpose of the benchmark, you'd want v-sync disabled to see how much FPS you would get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramonga Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Scaramonga, how does yours not average more than mine? I think I've figured it :) You couldn't have had all settings at MAX as I have Red screen results, and you have Blue screen results... RED = Highest settings available BLUE = Anything else below highest Shoot me if I'm wrong LOL!!! :rofl: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an ATI <> nVidia thing possibly. Anyway I have tried the latest Forceware drivers and found the following >>> Forceware 190.15 LEAK SCORE: 7825 AVERAGE: 93.4FPS OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit CPU: Intel? Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 3.2GHz Memory: 8GB DDR2 @ 960MHz Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 @ 625c / 1100m / 1300s Display Setting: 1920x1200 60Hz 4xAA, 16xAF, Max Shadows, Max Quality Also here's how it looks in each of the art "modes" Normal (off) Ink Watercolour Posterised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first result, it's red but I set Soft Shadows to High instead of Highest. In the second result, it's blue but I set Soft Shadows to Highest. I don't think it's related to what settings you're using or what video card you have (ATI or NVIDIA). The first time I ran the test, my results showed up as red despite having every setting set to its maximum. Perhaps it's just random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrk Reviews Posted June 17, 2009 Reviews Share Posted June 17, 2009 An overclock on the GFX card for +25MHz on the core and +50MHz on the shaders results in: >>> Forceware 190.15 LEAK SCORE: 8000 AVERAGE: 96.82FPS OS: Windows Vista? Ultimate 64bit CPU: Intel? Core?2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 3.2GHz Memory: 8GB DDR2 @ 960MHz Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 @ 650c / 1100m / 1350s Display Setting: 1920x1200 60Hz 4xAA, 16xAF, Max Shadows, Max Quality I'll drop teh clocks back and increase my CPU to 3.3GHz and rerun to see which overclock gives the biggest gain in this game.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted June 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2009 Whoops! I forgot to set the texture filter to 16x which is the max for most modern video cards. This time, the benchmark is truly maxed out with every setting set to its highest. Again, it's blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrk Reviews Posted June 17, 2009 Reviews Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) >>> Forceware 190.15 LEAK SCORE: 7822 AVERAGE: 93.33FPS OS: Windows Vista™ Ultimate 64bit CPU: Intel?

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted June 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2009 Interesting. I guess the game will be heavily GPU-dependent. I'm glad they made the game run so well on the PC. Yes, I know it shouldn't be demanding given the graphics but it looks good and runs good. And that's what really matters. It's ironic though, the game wasn't made on the PC in the first place. Judging from the benchmark, it's shaping up to be a solid port which seems to be a rarity these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mystic MVC Posted June 17, 2009 MVC Share Posted June 17, 2009 mrk: How do those leaked drivers run overall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svnO.o Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Awesome. Overclocking my 2 4770's gave me an extra 700pts/14fps avg. increase (broke the 10,000 pt. barrier!). Should try seeing if overclocking my CPU will make any diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted June 17, 2009 MVC Share Posted June 17, 2009 dlegend: You definitely will see a smaller increase than the GPU as this benchmark has shown to be more GPU intensive. I still think you should be able to get a couple hundred points out of the OC though. The Q9550 is very capable and I was so mad I wasn't able to get one when I was building my computer last August.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted June 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2009 Here's something to try: Run the benchmark with v-sync enabled and run it again with v-sync disabled. Tell me if you notice anything different. In my case, the benchmark appears to run faster than normal. It's as if someone hit the fast forward button.

mrk Reviews Posted June 17, 2009 Reviews Share Posted June 17, 2009 No need for more than 4xAA on a 24" screen or above :) any more and the visual difference is negligible at best so is usually a waste ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
