Anyone else get a D3D error with XP? It happens with both demos. Sometimes it crashes before the demo starts, sometimes it runs for 5-10 seconds before it comes up.
Resident Evil 5 PC Benchmark
- Thread starter bee
- Start date
Just did a bunch of benchmark runs in a row to see what performance effect different settings has.
Computer specs:
Core2Duo E6600 (not overlocked)
8800GTS (320mb)
2gb system ram
running on Windows XP so no DX10 fanciness
1st run - all low, no AA, 1280x960 (around 74) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/1.jpg
2nd run - all high, 8XAA, 1280x960, motion blur on (around 39) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/2.jpg
3rd run - all high, 8XAA, 1280x960, motion blur off (around 46) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/3.jpg
4rd run - all high, no AA, 1280x960, motion blur off (around 59) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/4.jpg
5th run - all high, C16XQ, 1280x960, motion blur off (around 39) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/5.jpg
6th run - all high, 2XAA, 1280x960, motion blur off (around 56) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/6.jpg
7th run - all medium, 2XAA, 1280x960, motion blur off (around 65) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/7.jpg
8th run - medium shadow, high rest, 2XAA, 1280x960, motion blur off (around 56) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/8.jpg
9th run - medium texture, high rest, 2XAA, 1280x960, motion blur off (around 56) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/9.jpg
10th run - medium overall, high rest, 2XAA, 1280x960, motion blur off (around 65) - http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/10.jpg
I didn't actually get a big performance boost by having all settings low, I'm pretty sure I'm cpu limited with the benchmark.
I got about 7 FPS more by turning off motion blur, and I actually think it looks better without it. I only barely notice it when it's on (except when taking screenshot which makes it super obvious, and I really don't like to see it in screenshots at all), but everything just looks more crisp and clear with it off. So I think I'll definitely play the full game with motion blur set to off.
Regarding AA...
-59 with no AA
-56 with with 2xAA
-46 with 8xAA
-39 with C16XQ
Performance hit with AA wasn't as big as I expected (unless it's set way high, but that's probably a bit overkill anyway).
I got absolutely zero performance boost by lowering shadow and texture quality from high to medium. Lowering Overall quality had a very noticable performance boost though.
Most of these findings are probably rather specific to my system, but I'm curious if people have similar results.

You need to update your drivers. Put in your information and hit search. Dox's aren't better than Nvidia's official 186.03 driver.X05 said:

I'm going to try upping shadow and texture quality to High since you said it had no effect on your performance....
Lowered my average fps to 57.6.

Well crap, has the multiplayer been straightened out for this game? I'd love to have splitscreen still (one person keyboard/mouse, other 360 controller) at 1920x1200.
Q6600@ 3.2GHz and a GTX 260 (overclocked a bit) ran it at a smooth 60 pretty much constantly, even with 4xAA and V-sync.
I'll probably end up getting it anyway if it's on Steam. Impressed with the performance though.

To think that I am getting a new notebook at the end of the year that'll be able to run this beauty like a dream.
This, Mafia II, Modern Warfare 2 AND Bioshock 2 in the same year!!!!! Lord have mercy it's a good time to be a PC gamer!!

hmm a question related to the game
was it anywhere confirmed by capcom that the game will use Games for Windows Live for co-op?
I read about it ion the IGN preview, but previews aren't always right
oh and I got some 38fps on average, with 3GHz dual core, ati 4850, 4 gig ram, running in DX9 on Vista 64, 1680x1050, all high and 4x AA

Do you per chance have ambient occlusion or any other setting forced through your drivers? Do you have the latest drivers?
Try running at 4x AA just to make sure. On my E6600 @ 3.0GHz, GTX275 rig, I get over 70fps at 1680*1050, Maxed, 4xAA.
Also, make sure you're not running with "fixed framerate".

Just noticed last night that the benchmark crashes if you apply Creative Alchemy to it.
Also, I think Nvidia wants people to use 190.38 drivers for this demo. Final game probably will launch with a 190.xx driver set as well.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_3D_vision_winvista_win7_CD_1.10.html
Also, there's a setting in the ini that controls the number of threads spawned, in addition to getting higher range HDR. (config.ini in Documents\Capcom\Resident Evil 5 Benchmark Version folder) .

CPU overclocked to 4Ghz.
There's a 90% chance that I'll upgrade my video card before the game's release so a constant 60 with some AA should be easy.
What's odd about Capcom benchmarks is that they don't really give you credit for a perfect 60 fps. With DMC4, for instance, my result line would be completely horizontal across 60 fps (which is where I limited the framerate). The game never hitches at all and plays 100% perfect yet it only awards a B. If I disable v-sync and allow the framerate to jump higher I get a better score despite the loss in visual quality.

Do you have sli by any chance?
I'm preforming much worse than you at the same resolution and I've got a e8400 and two 8800GTs. Does overclocking really make that much of a difference?
Edit: Just overclocked my cpu to 3.45 GHz and there seems to be zero difference. Using the latest whqls over here.

I just installed windows 7 and upgraded to the newest beta drivers, I dunno if it's the OS or if the new drivers have better sli profiles for this game, but i'm getting 1.5x-2x the framerate i was getting before. I average 78fps throughout the benchmark.

Hmm. I guess you have to format your hard drive to install Windows 7 right?

The upgrade option was available when I did the install (was running vista 64 sp1 prior). However, a clean install is always best (and a great way to clear all the crap on your computer)
Specs: Windows Vista Ultimate, 2GB DDR2-800, 512MB Radeon HD 2900XT, E6420 @ 3.2GHz
Settings: DX9, 1680x1050, vsync off, motion blur on, "High" where available, no AA or AF.
I did try DX10 a few times, but the display driver frequently "stops" (as Windows tells me) during the benchmark. It's certainly a driver issue, so I'll have to wait for ATi to release Catalyst v9.7. I could rollback to 9.5 or earlier to see if that fixes anything, but that's too much screwing around for a benchmark.
Not bad for a 2 year-old system. I'm surprised it's lasted me this long. :lol

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Wouldn't even a non-OC'd 4870 be ridiculously loud for a HTPC? The 4850 in my desktop PC is pretty damned loud by home theater component standards, and that's not even taking the CPU fan into account.Chiggs said:

Enosh said:
Yeah, I asked on the capcom boards the other day and someone there confirmed no cross platfor play. Oh well, no big deal. I honestly don't think Capcom is capable of making a game with crossplatform play between PC and 360 without it being horrible laggy. Their net-coding skills, as evidence from SFIV shows, have been nothing short of mediocre.
My rig doesn't stand up to this thing at all barely. :lol

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9100 256 MB

Ran at 800x600 windowed with Dx9 and Dx10 with no AA and everything at minimum...
-At stock CPU speed: 18.8 FPS Avg.
-At OC'd CPU Speed: 30.2 FPS Avg.
I'm surprised I got that far, the overclock certainly helped, and I see no real difference between Dx9 and Dx10 either.
Definitely getting that GTX 260 for when I buy this in September.

Lol. I will double dip now. Hopefully it is the same case with LP2.Strider2K99 said:
Well, they already made Lost Planet Colonis crossplatform and that worked great. I'm sure they would be able to do the same for RE5 if they wanted, but there's other problems like keeping both builds 100% compatible and it would make making patches a lot more troublesome.isamu said:
From the online I've played with RE5 (which is probably reaching 200+ hours), I'd say Capcom is one of the best developers regarding online. They kinda "cheat" a little bit by making a ton of things be handled clientside, but that's no issue for coop and it's fascinating how they've mixed traditional host/client code with p2p code for the versus mode. I don't think I've seen any other developers do the same.
