Request: X3 Rolling Demo BENCHMARK

It's awesome... but I've been running it since January on my system and it is brought to its knees on a regular basis.

The game is actually - as you're seeing - a tight balance of raw CPU speed and graphics card beastiness... 'tis a very good benchmark, but sadly only rarely used on any website.

Even so, it would appear that I'll need an extremely butch system to run it nicely... :(

I'm very impressed with the results of the Conroe systems... some serious horsepower there. :eek:

It's interesting looking at graphics cards, too...
 
Yeah, this game in particular is very much CPU dependent, or at least the areas where you expect the lowest framerates are. When you go into heavily populated systems, the going gets pretty tough with A64 rigs (my Op 146 @ 3Ghz struggles to keep 30fps often). The core2 systems seem a much better bet for X3.
 
HI i did the demo run x3 times ..
