all I can tell is that on all low at 1280x720 I get a min fps of about 40-45

It's cpu bound, even though I have an i5-750 at 4Ghz.

*bump*

....In my humble opinion i believe that this thread is such a good idea that it deserves a bump...plan on bumping it again when DX11 and 3D becomes enables.

Oh, and if anybody out there for some reason is CRAZY enough to attempt a three monitor, DX11 max everything, 1080p 3D eyefinity setup whenever DX11 and 3D gets enables and your gaming PC doesn't explode, plz tell us your specs!...but if it does explode plz feel free to video record it and post it on youtube and give me the link.

Currently preparing to go from Q6600 to i5-3570K. Should be interesting to see what the new CPU does for the game as I suspect a lot of gamers still have the trusty Q6600. I'll be back and post my results in the placeholder.

Benchmark at 1920x1080 (Fullscreen)

Pilot name: me
Mech Piloted during recording: Raven 2X
Map Played: Forest Colony
Settings level: (all low)
CPU: Core2Duo E8200 @3.21 GHz
GPU: GeForce GTS 250
RAM Type/brand/amount: PC2-6400 / Corsair / 2x2 GB (400x8 / SPD timings)
Operating System: Win7 32bit

FRAPS

• Recording Length: Frames: 2523 - Time: 60000ms
  
• Minimum FPS: 11 (directly after match start)
  
• Average FPS: 42.050
  
• Maximum FPS: 62

Benchmarking started as the match counter was on "1", then ran off to fetch some action.

Was a good mixture of using different view modes, zooming, getting hammered with LRM´s...and eventually getting blown up.



Overall this weeks major patch has solved my FPS issues and despite running on lowest possible settings it still looks and feels astonishing

All benchmarks should be done on the in-game preset settings and the following resolutions for each. Minimum recording time is 60 seconds, and it must be in-game on a map.

Low Setting: Benchmark at 1366x768 (or 1280x800) Please state which.

Medium Setting: Benchmark at 1600x900

High Setting: Benchmark at 1920x1080

I thought it might be helpful if I contributed here, however, my rig is currently unable to handle recording, so this is FPS rate as recorded by mkI eyeball, + F9.

This is the FPS of my rig at lowest resolution, lowest and/or off settings (I will edit this later when I know what my exact resolution is), over the course of an hour or more of game time across every map:

Pilot name: Sir Roland MXIII
Mech Piloted during recording: Either a Raven 4X or a HBK 4G
Map Played: All
Settings level: All Low
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3ghz, not OC (though I'm thinking I should give that a go since every bit helps)
GPU: GeForce 8600 GT
RAM Type/brand/amount: 4 gb DDR2 800
Recording Length: Hour+
MSI AB/ FRAPS: N/A
Minimum FPS: ~8
Average FPS: ~12
Maximum FPS: ~16

Verdict - Playable, but only barely. If I were to name a map that wa the hardest on my rig - Frozen, hands down. Looking forward to upgrading this computer past the Recomended Specs. That WILL be gamechganging for me, I'm certain of it.

Reposting my benchmark thread results here for easier viewing from my thread


Below are my system rig specs with correlating overclock settings. I am running nvidias WHQL 306.23 for drivers on my evga GTX 670 FTW card during these tests.





Here is my CPUZ and GPUZ to verify what im running and at what clock speeds




Below are my settings for MWO. In the several games i've done with the new patch, I HAVE NOT encountered any weird graphical glitches or errors at this point that really stand out. I am also NOT getting stuck or falling through the map with these settings. VSYNC is turned off






I ran FRAPS benchmark for 180 seconds during my online battle sessions and the graphed the results using Excel. THESE TESTS ARE ALL SHOWING RESULTS WITH POST PROCESSING ON HIGH AND VSYNC OFF!














Added benchmark results for Frozen City with 10/9 patch along with nvidias 306.96 drivers and no film grain mod. Server lagged out near the end, hence the drop in framerate at end of chart.






Here is the load on my system during an online battle in the Forest Colony map to give you an idea of how hard my system is working at these settings




Here is my system load while playing Caustic Valley online





Here are some screenshots and the corresponding FRAPS framerate when I took them

No, I don't have Vsync on. The game just seems to like 63fps cap. And no, I didn't actually record the gameplay but used the benchmark function in FRAPS.

I'll add the ones I missed as I get to them. Snow seems to take the biggest hit for FPS. I want to double check River City, because those look off. I'm afraid I might have been running high and labeled it for the medium settings.

Bumping as I'm hoping to see some updated information from people from after the last patch, given the more complaints I'm seeing from people running dual cores. How are higher end systems doing?

[Oderint dum Metuant]

I'll work on mine over the next few days to break it down to different resolutions. But i have to say im surprised, at some of the results above.
I primarily play MWO now across 3 1080p monitors( 5760*1080), using the I5 2500k@4.5ghz and a single 4GB EVGA GTX 670 FTW it averages 40FPS, at lowest during heavy combat scenes and smoke effects its 30+.
On a single 1080p monitor some of the systems above should have no trouble at all in hitting 60FPS without dipping too far below.

Still have your 8120 to see how Zambezi is holding out?

Still, it's good news that the game has now been optimized to actually use the hardware that's available out there finally.

I do, its in my multimedia and TS3 hosting machine on Windows 8, so i will try that one too when i get time.

[Burned_Follower]

Pilot name: XxDRxDEATHxX
Mech Piloted during recording: Jenner, Hunchback
Map Played: All of them
Settings level: every possible setting maxed out
CPU: AMD FX8350 8 core, 4.0GHz out of the box(haven't overclocked it yet)
GPU: ASUS Radeon 7950, 3GB, overclocked addition
RAM Type/brand/amount: Corsair Vengeance, 16GB of dual channel DDR3 RAM
Recording Length: Can't record. Game CTDs when i use fraps but results are constant throughout all matches on all maps
Minimum FPS: 30
Average FPS: 40-55
Maximum FPS: in the 60s

Additional Notes:
Case fan setup: 200mm in the front(blowing in), two 120mm fans on top(blowing in), one 120mm on the side(blowing in), one 140mm in the back(blowing out). This doesn't include the two fans built into the GPU and the fan built into the CPU heatsink(just a cheap heatsink that came with the CPU). Not sure what size it is but looks slightly bigger than a 40mm.

CPU Temp(max temp it ever gets): 50c
CPU Temp(average): In the 40's


Note: When i first built this PC, my fan setup was pitiful. Mostly because i've never done it before. My original fan setup was one 200mm fan in the front(forgot to plug into PSU so was not on), one 120mm fan on top(blowing out), one 140mm fan in the back(blowing out) and no fan on the side and no additional 120mm fan on top.........and the CPU maxed out at 59c(i got a 9 degree difference just for correcting my fan setup!)

Will be testing my gaming rig with an H100 installed next week and will show the difference then.

I know, I know, been much longer than a week. I was even asked but I still have one or two things to sort out, namely CPU temps. The stock heatsink, which is (impressively) more garbage-tastic than MW:Os sound effects currently are, holds it between 50-56 C during gaming. My ThermalTake SpinQ VT is, literally right now, in the mail, and I will get the thermal compounds to install it Thursday. Once that's set up, I can FINALLY start benching this thing with OC and without - it should be noted I refuse to do OC in it's current state due to lack of heat control. The current temps were achieved after a minor underclock in voltage, prior it was +3 C on both min/max.

Also in the future, once I have the parts - testing A10 5800K with DDR3 1866 vs DDR3 2133, using the AsRock MBs Intel XMP compatibilty. Will also test with a discrete GPU, likely a Radeon HD 7870 Ghz Edition, this with Lucid MVP Virtu and without, IF that's compatable with AMD APUs.

Anyways, looking forward to posting results either this weekend or close-on after that.

EDIT Hey got good news, both the heatsink and the thermal paste are now shipped and should both arrive Wednesday. WOOOHOOO! So, hopefully, benches this weekend, though probably just without OC to start. Then again, I might get cocky and try to blow my rig up, much like I do with my Ravens... <whistles innocently>

With the performance boost update, I have to ask if any of our high-end builds have seen improvement.
Stats people?

No increase here. Still at 20 to 25 FPS ingame. Ping went up though, and my friend had the same issue - until he mentioned it I didn't think a whole lot of it. Makes sense though, with the back end stuff they're doing.
