Want to run Fallujah at 100+ fps? (Video)

xseeyax · 03-01-2009, 04:19 PM

Then get an i7 like I did. My brother just completed his build and we installed PR on there to see what difference it would make (if any). As we all know, Fallujah is one of the maps that killed so many of our computers, especially with a full server, air traffic, etc.

Here's what we went from:

3.0 GHz Pentium D 930 (Dual Core)
4 GB PC4200 DDR2 (533 MHz)
Asus P5K-LE Motherboard
Windows XP (32-bit)
NVidia 8800 GTX (768 MB)

Here's what we went to:

2.67 GHz Core i7 920 (Quad Core)
6 GB PC12800 DDR3 (1600 MHz)
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
Windows Vista (64-bit)
NVidia 8800 GTX (768 MB)

Settings:

1920x1200, 8xAA, everything High

We now run every single map at 100 fps average on those settings. The amazing part is we haven't even upgraded the video card or overclocked the CPU yet!

I haven't tried raising the fps limit because it wouldn't really do any good. My monitor only displays at 60 Hz anyway, but I am a little curious how fast this i7 will push it. Now to that video I promised...

Here's a quick sample of what it looks like from FRAPS (the video was of course capped at 60 fps).

Be sure to click "Download Now" instead of watching the streamed version.

So long story short, get the i7. It's a MONSTER!

nice build

Ironically, by placing it to 8xAA you will get higher FPS average.

Put the game into 2xAA and see the difference.

Lol its still funny to me, but u will actually lose FPS, hehe, still nice rig!

hmmm, put game.lockfps 0 in your console and you will have more than that mate

The upgrade in memory speed surely helped.

4 GB PC4200 DDR2 (533 MHz) < 6 GB PC12800 DDR3 (1600 MHz)

Huge difference.
May I also suggest uploading to someplace like Vimeo or another HD internet vid site.

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't it a waste to have a 4 GB of memory and XP 32bit?

How do you see FPS on your game again?

Type in the console: renderer.drawfps 1

OP: you can uncap the Fraps framerate lock in your settings

I believe 4 gigs is the map XP can handle, and there is nothing but 32-bit XP, unless you wanted the x64 version.
