With comparisons between each detail setting.

The Texture Detail setting did indeed increase texture resolutions as we moved the slider up from 1 to 3, but then we noticed that textures remained the same at levels 3, 4, and 5 from our spawn point in Heat Ray.

Seems like there could be more textures in the full game then, I just hope it still performs well with them.


Back to the benchmarks, my FPS is nowhere near as good, with lots of people on screen I dip to the 30's and 40's quite often, not sure what it is tbh.

Mines constantly at 62fps with max settings and 16xAF and yes on the epic forums it stated only medium textures were included in the demo.

 

[Raikiri]

It rapes my 7800GT at the highest (well, medium) settings. I get roughly 15-25fps... roll on 512mb 8800GT.

 

[Columbo]

Knocking out about 80FPS with an 8800GTS 640mb @ 1440x900.

Cant wait for the full version now

 

[Senture]

I get 30fps stable on high (one below max) 1440x900 on my 7950GTX, not too shabby

 

[Raikiri]

That's medium then, the demo is limited to those settings (3/5).

Can i just ask how you check how many fps you are getting? Thanks

 

[SS-89]

Quite an indepth performance preview here http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=464

Run FRAPS

 

[Senture]

x1800xt = [email protected] 1680x1050 everything on full 30fps


WOW !

How can they get that type of FPS if the FPS is locked to 60 am I missing something?

Mine stays at a constant 60fps. ocassionally dipping to 48 which is the lowest I've seen. This was in a super intensive fight on heat ray.

Have you got Vsync on? That will limit the games FPS to your monitors refresh rate.

i haven't got Vsync on. so i don't know why it won't go over 62fps

 

[SS-89]

Found out how to unlock fps...

in My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\UTGame\Config

Go to utengine.ini

set bSmoothFrameRate to FALSE

Just tried Heat Ray with 11 bots TDM 1280x1024 4xAA(dont think its working but listed for good measure) 16xAF Max in game settings:

[gareth170]

yep that worked. thanks ss-89

[Super]

Anyone know why if I turn SLI on I get no more then 4fps? Well in the game menu section have not tried to go into game. If I leave SLI off I can play the game at 2560x1600 with everything on super smooth. My graphics card are 8800GTX's.

 

[SS-89]

Only a guess but has an sli profile been created yet? Think you might have to wait for one in the new drivers whenever they come out.

 

[Margaret]

What OS are people using? IIRC FSAA is enabled on Vista which could be why I get a performance hit compared to everyone else? :/
