Those DX10 benchmarks above are crap, unless the Catalyst 7.7 sorted it out, I get FAR higher scores in the snow/cave performance test.

I get 15fps in DX10.

What's your spec?

E6600 @ 3.2Ghz
HD2900XT
2GB Crucial Ballistic
320GB SATAII WDC
Asus P5N-E SLi

The place I get 15fps is were I get around 30-50 when I had an 8800GTS.

I had everything set to it's default values with no AA enabled in the CP, was getting minimum 37-38 in the Cave and minimum 45 for Snow.

LP and 2900XT are notoriously dodgy. ATI have been working with them to get a fix out in the next drivers.

Dunno whats going on then, you sure that was not DX9?

Something aint right, just turned everything in LP to LOW, no AA/AF, was getting around 14-17fps at the start :\

This was at 1400x1050 res.

Even tried 600x400 res or something, still getting 15fps :\

Do you have the 7.7 drivers on? they fixed a load of corruption errors that caused graphics glitches and slowdowns.

I think so, tis great fun imho.

No I use 7.6's, I was put off the 7.7's due to apparently some games getting a slow down, I might try 7.7's, do you know if CoH performance has dropped?

Definately DX10, try the 7.7's, see if they improve it.

CoH is a bit dire performance wise in DX10 still but everything maxed at 1680x1050 in DX9 flies along with the 7.7's

HeX · 26 Jul 2007 at 11:57

Also LP in DX10 is pointless, it doesn't add anything visually, its just meant to add 'optimisations', infact it does the opposite and makes the game slower.

So you really want to run DX9 executable and get the 7.7 drivers as they include the hotfix for the corruption and performance issues with the 2900.

In CoH I got it on ultra, 8xAA, 1400x1050, minimum fps was 27, average was 67, sound about right?

I will try the 7.7's later.

I dont run CoH in DX10, I found it very hard to see a difference and I was getting 5fps.

I'll check my FPS with fraps in a min.

With everything maxed (ultra textures etc) at 1680x1050 (again, no AA, full AF though) in DX9 I get min 55fps, max 62fps, average 59fps so yours sounds about right.

In DX10, maxed again, min. 9fps, max 58fps, average 32fps.

Hmmm, you on 7.7's?

In CoH I get 25fps average in dx10 with ultra, 8xaa 1400x1050.

That's about right, you have AA enabled but you're using a lower res.

Did you not have AA enabled?

What res you using?, I need a new monitor

DX9 LP with the 7.7 drivers still dont work, like 0.5fps on the menu for some reason.

Keyboard & mouse...

Pet hate of mine is hardcoded control tips. It's so much better when they are dynamic based on what control settings you are actually using.

What makes LP even worse is it's not like it even tells you what function you are gonna be calling. So it's not like it's saying "push your 'use' key", it's saying "push your X key". So you have to do like a double translation.... from the XB360 key -> Function -> Actual key.

i use mouse and keyboard, after a few days of trying to work out the probs, its brilliantly mapped tbh, only game i use 360 pad for is DIRT (cant use keyboard for that lol, need control in all aspects).

i dont know what i get in this game, but i never go below 60fps because i use v sync a lot now, only started to get used to the slightl sluggishness of it, but on games like this its so much better.
