Hah, the demo comes with a large performance test-complete with running FPS scores in different areas and system stats during the demo.

Give Capcom some credit-they know what PC gamers want out of this demo. :lol

ran the performance test in xp dx9 demo of course,i dont fancy tryin it at 1080p so ran it on the other screen at 1360x768 4xaa 16xaf all settings high, got snow 55fps cave 60fps, plenty happy with that gonna reboot into vista and see what dx10 has to offer.

really nice looking game though even on this dx9 demo, looong benchmark though.

seems to run decent in the test considering I am running the 320MB version of the 8800GTS, although fps takes a decent hit with explosions

awesome demo, it stops every few seconds and tells me that it doesn't run optimal and i need to lower the settings.

Wow, I don't think I even want to try it, my 9600se 128 would never forgive me.

<10 fps at 360 equivalent settings on a 6800 GT in XP...

Man, that warning (which doesn't turn off properly) is SOOO annoying.

I'm getting 21-30 fps on the performance test with an nvidia GF 7600gs 256mb , AMD Athlon 64 X2 2 GHz 3800+ (Dual Core), 2GB Ram. Definitely playable. I haven't played the actual demo yet, but assuming it's less stressful in most areas, I think my PC will be fine.

What settings are you running it at? I'm surprised you're getting that much on a 7600 because I see some on other forums getting less on 7800s.

Default settings, I went straight to the test. I have a limbus run to do now on FFXI, but I can double check later.

Default settings for me were low / off on everything and a resolution I never even heard of 800x448

Seems like the ATI cards still have quite a bit of driver problems.

Still? Their driver problems have just begun. They have a lot of work ahead of them. And nvidia has had a huge head start. The R600 chip being more complex isn't going to help either. New driver model (in vista) plus completely new architectures has really been a stumbling block for both companies.

yep that was some mighty poor searching i dd there, soon as i posted that i found it and just ran it in dx 10.

so what does dx10 have to offer then in this game, at 1st glance identical graphics and lower frame rates :p same settings got me snow 43fps cave 46fps.

have to go play it a lot now, wanna see if i can actually spot any differences, i doubt i will though.

edit: im impressed both with the game and vista,1st game ive properly played on vista and it runs great with really nice graphics too, shame creatives vista sound drivers are dogshit and lets it down a little, cant seem to be able to takes any screenshots though in dx10 perhaps someone will have a solution tomorrow but im off to bed now.

Win XP Pro (dx 9.0c)
Core 2 Duo e6600
2GB
7800 GT

set everything on high except AF (set to 4) and AA (it won't let me touch this as long as HDR is set to high, maybe the nVidia 7 series AA+HDR problem)

performance test: 25-44 fps with an average of 34

game looks great (almost identical to the x360 ver but without AA) but the x360 version is definitely smoother with much less slowdown and hiccups, ah well... going to bed now.

meh this is crap. I got the dll error shown above but that was fixed by downloading the dx9 April 10 2007 update. No biggie.

First off no native res for my monitor i and the widescreen modes seemed whacked so i ran it the default res (1024x768? something like that). Framerate was kind of crappy 40-60 fps on a E6600 8800GTS on XP (4x AA 16xAF all settings high). So I beat the first two enemy spawns things, seems ok. Fight bigger baddie, then um program crash followed by total blue screen :|, first one i've gotten on this pc.

Nobody ruins my family vacation but me...and maybe the boy!
I have a 7950 gt with an Athlon X2 4200+ and with everything on high except AA it runs at about 10-15 fps less when you throw grenades outside.

Now I know why I like the 360. LESS HASSLE. Guess I downgraded too much as it didn't run or look as good as on my 360.

My results:

Everything I could set on high was, shadows had to be set on medium, seems high was unavailable

AA was off, as was v-sync

AF was at 16x

lpresultsex6.jpg



For this one:

AA was set to 4X

v-sync was on

AF was at 16x

everything allowed was set to HIGH

The dips were a little lower overall, but not a huge difference in performance.

lol...PC gaming threads are seemingly always about fps, resolution, bugs, hardware, drivers, AA, etc. but hardly anyone ever talks about the game itself.

So....how 'bout that Lost Planet?

I got lost in the planet due to such amazing resolutions - and the shit was running so smooth.

Is anyone trying this with less than 256mb video ram? I'm gonna see if I can force it to run with my 6600gt 128mb.

Then tomorrow I'll use my
fiance's
better system.


EDIT: my Steam speeds just rocketed: 600kb+

I got 1500k/sec on the nzone site. Then again 100/100 fiber makes things fast ;)

edit: thought I'd dl the DX9 version also just for comparison sake, dl was even a little faster on this one :D

That is why I don't like PC gaming.

I really hate when people start talking about console games AA, AF, fps as well. It makes sense to talk about that stuff in PC gaming because everyone's got a different rig, but on console games I forget about all that PC malarkey.

pretty much what I got. I even tried turning everything down to minimum and the game would just give me a stupid message that my performance was way too crappy to even play. So much for playing 360 games on my x1600 pro with 2.8 gig pentium 4 and 2 gigs of ram.
