Hardware vs. Performance?
« on: September 07, 2004, 05:31:43 pm »
Post your system and how often you lag, for how long, your average frame rate (if you know it), and any other related info you can come up with.

When I played, I was running on a box with an AMD XP 1700+ with 512 MB of PC2100 RAM, using a 28.8k internet connection, and I had a GeForce 4 video card, though I can\'t remember the exact model.

I experienced about 2 minutes of lag every 45 minutes or so -- it didn\'t happen often.

I was running the game at 1024x768 resolution, and I can\'t remember my average FPS.
I am made from the dust of the stars,
And the oceans flow in my veins.
Here I hide in the heart of the city,
Like a stranger coming out of the rain.

The last time I played Planeshift I was using:


Pentium 4   2.6gHz FSB800
1024mb DDR 400mhz ram
GeForce 4 Ti 4800SE
ADSL 256/128kbps


I did not notice any lag at all, but I can\'t remember the fps.

I had \"some\" lag-like problems with my old G4 MX420  
I\'d also experienced a framedrop when looking in the direction of Laanx temple

Specs:
Pentium 4 2.4gHz FSB433 [or close by]
756mb DDR2800 Ram
GeForce 6800 Ultra 256 MB GDDR3 (Yes I know that my GFX ain\'t the bottleneck here)
ADSL 2048/128kbps

I rarely experience lag issues.. Though it happens - when it does it usually happens to everyone else too..
I\'m playing it with res: 1280*1024

Athlon 64 3200+
2Gb DDR3200 Ram
Radeon 9800 Pro
ADSL

And I never lag ever.
Average FPS = 180
:D

Edit: In rain it\'s about 100, looking off the edge of the world it\'s like 300.

Heh.. we already went over this in another thread a while back ;) Its your network connection that registers at 100mpbs.

Anyway:

AMD Athlon 2600+
768 MB PC 2700 RAM
Geforce 2 64 MB (woo!)
ADSL

Don\'t lag very much, even less now that I have more RAM installed.

Average FPS with 1024x768 is about 30-35.

Intel Pentium III @ 750mHz
GeForce 4 MX420 64MB SDRAM
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
384MB PC-133 Non-Parity SDRAM
56k Modem at 2.8k/s

Running using OpenGL mode at 1024x768.res full screen

Ya okay I know it sucks but it runs Planeshift decently. Were planning to get a new computer anyways and better internet for my dads new work, so its just a matter of time...

not very much lag (amazingly) just some during rain (nothing I can\'t bare).

Not sure about my fps, haven\'t ever brought it up.
I\'ve only had lag once really, recently and it was bad. Don\'t know what caused it.
