quake 4 dualcore benched
 

Patch 1.04: 88 FPS

Patch 1.05 without SMP support: 107 FPS

Patch 1.05 with SMP support: 178 FPS



of course, lowest graphic settings to avoid GPU bottleneck (x1800XT @ default)

Any graphs? :)

Link to news?

um, I did it myself :O


I wished it would show the timedemo results more like the ones from fear but this is as good as it gets :(

Always put your source in your post.

This could be a nice [M] article ;).

it's more yay dualcore works for games post =O

but indeed it would be nice to actually get minimum FPS results

I know that removing the GPU bottle neck is the ideal way to test things, it's also interesting to see if it makes a difference when you run the benchmark at playable settings (1024x768 and higher with FSAA/AF)

for min FPS you can use www.fraps.com and benchmark hotkey :)

I get 53 FPS with 1600x1200 4x adaptive AA and 16x HQ AF. Doesn't change with SMP command line, but dam it looks nice.

min FPS are constant, I guess GPU limited :)

need a faster card =O


with only 2xAA and above settings, min FPS are 38 o_O

that's the reason why I don't plan to get any friggin new cpu for another 2 years ;)
my fx53 is 2 years old and it doesn't make any difference when you have dualcore/3.0ghz if the thing is gpu limited at 1920*1200...

at 1920*1200 it'll be a while before your system will stop being GPU limited;)
