Post your Far Cry - The Project demo benchmark!

[ahfung]

This demo include a nobrainer benchmark mode, shall work on most ati and probably nvidia's as well.

Download the demo here

After installation, go to the directory and run benchmark.bat to start benchmark. At the end press printscreen or F12 to capture result.

Be honest, don't modify system.cfg. You are free to tweak other stuff though.

Here's my result with everything at default:

a64 3200+ 1MB@260x10 2.5-3-3-10
x800xt-pe 639/606

46 with my FX-53 @ 2.6. Wonder why it's so low

That's all real time, Perkam. Nothing we haven't seen before.

Here my resaults:

A64 "Winnie" @ 2.6GHz
OCZ 2x512MB @ 520MHz
X800XTPE@640/625

The computers been on for about a week, so I can probably get a couple of FPS extra with a restart. But I'm lazy

I just found something out. Your link doesn't work any more. They have released this demo in a new version. The old one is v.1.0, and the new one is v.1.1. The new one doesn't have benchmark mode. Just tested it myself.

[ahfung]

Thanks for the head up. Just tried v1.1 out myself, seem like they forgot to put back the benchmark.bat!

Nvm, you can still run the benchmark by creating benchmark.bat with notepad:

start Bin32\TechDemo.exe -benchmark %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

However the in-demo benchmark option is gone, now can't toggle 3dc on the fly, you'll need to change r_Tex3DC = 1 in demosettings.lua.

At the end of the run you'd find a benchmark.txt which has the fps result, here's mine with XT-PE at default speed:

-------------------------
The Project - from Crytek
Benchmark Result
-------------------------

Average FPS: 45.79

Configuration

Resolution: 1024x768
Bit per pixed: 32
FSAA: 4x samples
3Dc Texture Compression: enabled
Verticle Sync: disabled

That really sound stupid, anyone knows what's wrong with the v1.0 and why they come up with a half done v1.1?
