I tryed it with low detail, low res 1024, no hdr or aa and after you click continue and goes to ** flat screen using the -fps shortuct to get fps to show top left of screen i get 55-60fps. Moving the mouse icon about is fast and responcive.

When i up the detail to high, 1280x1024 res and hdr on i get 25-30fps, if i take hdr off and replace that with 4x aa ingame i get about same fps. With both hdr and aa i get 19-24 fps. Moving the mouse about is average and responcive but you do get sence of mouse lag especially with hdr and aa on.

Using a 3500+ venice skt 939 at 2.5ghz, ati x1950pro 7.5 drivers 512mb ddr3 ram onboard, 2gb geil value.

I was going to upgrade from 3500+ to a x2 3800+ toledo core cpu and run it oc to about 2.5ghz to 2.8ghz. But judging from the 50-60fps when all gfx details are low or off i dont think its my cpu thats the bottlneck anymore.

I do know others with x1950pros tho who get 30-40fps with max detail at 1280res tho from tdu forums and perhaps slightly better cpus like a 3800+ for example. So i dont know if the x1950pro is a bottlneck either.

So kinda stumped as to whats holding the game going at 40fps with hdr on aa 4x 1280x res high ingame detail setting.

I know the patch should bring performance fixes but theres ppl with similar spec machines that run it better than me and they arnt using a patch so whats wrong?

shocking, on my x1900xt best i got was 40fps with dips to the 20fps at a rez of 1152x864 with 2xAA and 16xAF, all ingame settings to max with HDR on. xp64

now on vista the game doesn;t even run. :mad:

I don't have HDR on, it looks rubbish and gives **** performance...
 
Would the dual core help at all to push the fps with gfx detail up? I mean will it help the hdr calculations etc. And possibly give me 5-10fps more?
 
I have dual boot xp and vista ultimate. Vista makes it perform worse imo.

Just had a blast with tdu 10 mins ago no hdr and 2x aa on 1440x980 or somit, had to do a lot of tweaking on my monitor to sort the bendy pic but it looked well nice on ws resolution i think that is hd as well aint it? 50fps outside of city 30inside tho droped to 20 a few times. On the motor way tho lovely 50fps even tho no hdr or 4x aa.

Just wish i could get 4x aa to work smooth as i realy hate jaggies with a passion in this game.
 
Just out if interest, after reading this thread, I thought I'd give TDU another go, as I've not loaded it in months, as I was getting stuttering.

Still there.

So, out of interest, I thought I'd try it on my telly at 1280x720, to see if it performs better. Well, my first thoughts were "urrrggghhh" and turned AA up to compensate.

Anyway, while I was playing, I still had my monitor on, which had the Vista sidebar running on it, with the CPU monitor. Both cores of my E6600 were at a constant 100% while playing TDU.

Maybe that's got something to do with any performance problems, but I was quite surprised to see both cores stuck at 100% until I quit!

In comparison, when I play the Colin McRae Dirt demo on my TV, both cores hover around 80%

V1N.

EDIT: actually after just taking another look at Colin McRae Dirt demo, both cores were more around the 60-70% mark... nothing like the constant 100% of TDU.
