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

Im on vista x64 ultimate ive read FSaa doesnt work atm on the beta demo as dx10 is needed :/ (Doesnt work for me with 4xaa enabled)

Hmm well this is dodgy, hopefully the full game performs a tad better with the real settings and in Dx10, I dip down to the 30's a bit too often for my liking and I'm gonna start using 1920x1080 soon :X

Even overclocked I have the same problem

Or maybe a new nVidia driver will come out and improve performance lots like they did with BioShock.

ohh so this demo is dx10 also??

SS-89 · 13 Oct 2007 at 14:55

Nope, dx10 will be patched into the game later on.

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:

2007-10-13 12:39:52 - UT3Demo
Frames: 39461 - Time: 427847ms - Avg: 92.232 - Min: 41 - Max: 166

Thanks for that. Even with that option on TRUE I still had about 30 FPS minimum @ 1600x1200 with my 2900Pro @ 847 / 1000. Not bad for my AMD and 1gb of DDR

.

spec in sig with cpu @ stock but gpu at 641 core 625 ram

1680 x 1050 = 34 fps avg

1440 x 900 = 45 fps avg

quite happy for my tatty ol bit of kit, and damn good fun to play

will defo purchase this

For SLI use nHancer or something and add the UT3Demo.exe to the unreal tournament 3 profile and it should all work fine (and get twice the performance of a single card in most of the game)...

runs well on my 7950GX2 all settings maxed at 1440x900 and it never drops below 62fps when running uncapped and most averages about 95-98fps when uncapped.

Bit of a suprise but Im getting about 30-32 FPS at 1920x1200 on a 256MB X1800XT with max OC in the CCC using fraps

J.D · 13 Oct 2007 at 20:26

How are all you benchmarking this for average FPS?. I only noticed that on a full 24man server vehicle CTF match that my FPS dropped near the 30 zone once during a crazy battle with a tank and a flying thingy. 99% of the time it's high up but like the OP it will dip to 30's and 40's in intense battles on a few occasions.

The demo was 1.5 gigs and still only have medium textures? :O How are they ever gonna fit the whole thing on one DVD

Well it was a 730mb or so installation file.

Anyway dual layer (8.5gb or so) should be more than enough.

LabR@t · 13 Oct 2007 at 21:22

2 disks , medieval 2 is 2 dvd's

Inazuma · 14 Oct 2007 at 00:06

Yeah but how about for consoles (although I guess the PS3 has that sorted)

fraps · 14 Oct 2007 at 01:46

it appears to favour ati cards?

anyway i get 25 - 60 fps and average 40 I would say on a demo high setting 1280 x 1024 :confused:

funny considering nvidia sponsors the game!

anyway, runs smooth and fast generally

I guess nvidia need to pull out better drivers and it is a beta

Well if you have a 7900GS then I'd have thought you'd be pretty happy running the demo on High at that resolution. :/

(Even though the High settings on the demo aren't quite High)

fraps · 14 Oct 2007 at 02:06

yes, I am happy with these settings 1280 x 1024 medium and maybe with some tweaking of settings, perhaps new drivers, final version of the game I can get 30 fps minimum all the time - that is all I want

I have just been tempted to sell my card and get a 2600xt as it won't cost much if anything but I think I'll hold back...

Its not out on the 360 for that reason alone IIRC

Can you post what settings you use for the 7950GX2 SLI profile in nHance? Thanks.
