Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
Whatever causes the performance boost in Doom unfortunately hasn't spread as far as Far Cry, and FS 2004 with all the scenery packs still runs like a dog, even at 1024 x 768, so, I'm still going to aim for one of them Athlon 64 3500's and an X800 Pro.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
Hmm, it does have the same cache but it has a slower FSB it looks like.

Chances are though he's upped the FSB unless it's a multiplier unlocked 2500M

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
Done some more testing....
1st Run - i get a really crap score - like 30.5 FPS now and theres loads of lagging and pausing.
2nd run - i get 42.5, but there is no lagging or pausing.
Something is really wrong with the cacheing here.

FSB is running at 220Mhz with 10x Multiplyer (2200 Mhz or 3200+).

Whenever it accesses the disk it seems to judder a lot, happens no matter how many times I do the test consecutively/exiting the game and re-running and or rebooting, still gives me the same score.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
You have to use the scores from the second time because then all the graphics will be cached - that's what all the websites say anyway.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
Well, in that case its OK,
But then why does bifta get a constant FPS irrespective of which run he's on?
As i stated my one varied wildly between the first and second run - as it stands i have uninstalled Doom 3 and am defragging before re-installing.
It has helped me though - i realised i was way behind on my Nvidia Nforce drivers and that my Drives were using Multi Word DMA 2 instead of Ultra DMA 5 and Ultra DMA 4. Chnaged that setting and its made a bit of a difference in transfer rates i can tell ya.

Kill those 3 things that hover above him (which are basically his eyes since he's blind) then when a portal shows up above him that spawns new 'eyes' shoot the portal, and that will hurt him. Then repeat untill it dies.
No other way hurts it I think.
