Title: Graphics Card Survey
Post by: cameni on January 02, 2011, 07:18:28 am: A survey to see what graphics cards do you have.
Please specify the series you have got. This basically starts from the recommended models, some lower ones will work too but it might not be optimal in terms of smoothness etc.

Minimum GPU memory size is 512MB.

(Note: poll options and results aren't visible in guest mode, you have to be logged in)

Question though: How CPU intensive is it? I'm still stuck with a Pentium 4 HT 3GHz :(
Title: Graphics Card Survey
Post by: cameni on January 02, 2011, 01:15:38 pm: CPU power isn't that problematic, as it was said elsewhere the engine is GPU-bound. However, CPU should be with 2 cores, because there is a lot of tasks that run in parallel with the rendering loop. On a single-core CPU it means that these tasks would interleave with the rendering loop, possibly causing stuttering. But we actually didn't try it on a single-core CPU so I don't know to what extent it affects the smoothness.

For $114US, that's not terribly out of reach for a lot of people, including me.

How about hyperthreading? Hyperthreading was supposed to help, but in my experience it only made things worse. For example, turning on HT in TF2 makes it stutter even after they first gave TF2 HT capability and even after a HT performance update. :mad:

Post by: Puffmac on January 02, 2011, 07:29:08 pm: Just recently upgraded to a Gigabyte GTX470 "Super Overclock" with 1280MB of GDDR5 RAM. If anybody's considering an upgrade, I'd highly recommend it. I've managed to squeeze a massive 228MHz increase in core clock from nVidia's reference card. The memory managed a good overclock coming from 1674MHz to 1950Mhz. :D

I upgraded from a Gainward GS GTX260 896MB and the difference was incredible.

I wouldn't doubt him... this kind of thing's been happening in the flight sim community since at least the early 90s. Increased computing power and lower prices have encouraged it and this kind of thing has become increasingly common. Check out This guy's cockpit (http://www.737ng.co.uk/) for example.

Since 2005 I’ve tried to keep two high end gaming systems up to date with the latest greatest from ATI and Nvidia (and Intel/AMD), so if you go back six years, I’ve dumped a lot into these two machines with frequent upgrades.

I’ve been one of Newegg’s best customers, lol.

Technically yes, it uses vertical FOV and computes the horizontal one from the resolution. But a wider FOV also affects other parameters in the engine, so we'll have to test it.

I made this for the rFactor2 wishlist thread. But the same measurements could easily be implemented into almost any game to set FOV and triplehead parameters and skewing.

Terrain is generated only on the GPU, which increases performance. Other things (later mods, game mechanics, etc) may utilize some portions of the CPU, but for now, only the GPU matters for all intents and purposes.

Works pretty nice as the 4-year old PC... :P

Btw. I would like to know how I could improve number of fps in Outerra with changing terrain settings? Because during terrain generation fps is worst and when I drive I have rising and then falling fps and it repeats all the time...
Title: Re: Graphics Card Survey
Post by: cameni on April 01, 2012, 02:34:29 pm: Please upload your time.log from a driving session. But it's probably a problem with Radeon 3xxx performance in computation.

Post by: lookastdu on April 01, 2012, 04:23:57 pm: Here is time.log: http://www.gamefront.com/files/21494660/time.log (http://www.gamefront.com/files/21494660/time.log)

What else I have noticed: if I had laggy fps and game simulation is really slow and then I move camera to top view of the truck (it is Tatra truck? :P ) the physics simulation (but camera movement also) is going too fast. It looks like trying to catch up in rendering enough frames in second. So I had effect: speed like 20kmh, moving camera view, wow, speed like 60kmh!

I have seen similar "bug" in GTA4 (version 1.0.0.0) and DiRT game (I read on forums that in DiRT this bug appeared only on AMD CPUs). In GTA4 patch fixed it long time ago, I don't remember what about DiRT, but probably they have fixed it too.

But probably it's problem with my too slow GPU. Or maybe with not enough GPU memory. I had changed to 240p and it helped bit. Still this problem occured, but it wasn't so big as before.

Small btw. edit: is there any way I could check GPU memory usage while playing Outerra?

Title: Re: Graphics Card Survey
Post by: lookastdu on April 01, 2012, 06:19:03 pm: I have done small tests, and yes, it doesn't depend from buildings/vehicles.

With settings: 240p, prefetch levels 17, max terrain level generated 21, tiles per frame 6, tree coef 0.14 it runs quite smoothly.
1440x900, off vert sync, FXAA on, shadows 1024x1024 with 4 samples, shadowmap kernel size 2, shadow distance 600.

But for example on default (480p, prefetch 12, max 22) the problem returns.
I'm not sure yet, but while driving the problem seems to be bigger, but while I'm in ufo mode flying (especially farther from ground) this problem is smaller.

Install Process Explorer from Sysinternals:

After install, you can select columns to display GPU information. (also Network I/O, Disk I/O and more stuff to check what your computer is doing)

There are more architectural differences that complicate the matters, but we want to build a benchmark mode into the demo so we can get a better picture. I'm especially interested to compare the results with other games.

Title: Re: Graphics Card Survey
Post by: angrypig on May 24, 2012, 05:50:28 am: Its price won't get under $500 until AMD cuts prices and it won't happen in a few months... may be with the new AMD GPU generation but it depends on how successful it will be. I am a little pessimistic about that and in my opinion there are some architectural limitations so they need to do some redesign. On the other side NV is able to fight AMD's upcoming GPUs with current generation or with cheap GK104 derived designs. And remember originally the the price for the GK104 (NV680) cards was set to ($300) but thanks to AMD's not very successful GCN architecture the GK104 jumped to GK110 position and it's price to $500... This move also has a few disadvantages for NV680 like slower computations capabilities (double precision) but this is not a big issue in games...

Hehe. I had an Intel Core i7 system until the motherboard broke last month. Why I still have a GT 8800 is because I'm to greedy to update it, and I didn't need it as I was mainly doing rendering and casual gaming. After I finally got my money back for the motherboard, I decided to upgrade to newest Intel i7 generation - with PCI-E 3.0 - and why not get a new GPU too?

Edit: Bought Gainward Phantom GTX 670, instead. More bang than a standard GTX 680, saving me equal to USD 150 in Norway. ;D

Between 100-120fps away from the ground, occasionally a little higher. However, down to around 55 moving along the ground with full 3D grass, with the rare harsh stutter spike and it says 40something for a moment. (Still generally goes farther down and has more stutter spikes with roads around.)

I figured out, before I switched the card, that my very frequent harsh stutters were due do Full Refresh vsync, so I turned it off, however I have yet to try half refresh. Obviously, I know nothing about how it's programmed, but in other games, vsync will lock you to 60fps or 30fps depending on how high your framerate is. However, this doesn't seem to do that when it gets below 60. At least that's what the fps says. Does it still only lock it to 60 even if it goes lower? The harsh stutters seem a lot more frequent than with vsync in other games.

I run an AMD R9 280X 3GB now. Works well with OT so far.
I'm getting around 60 fps on ground level with high grass density and terrain quality at 1080p. Also textures at high.
More than double the framerate than with a HD 6950 2GB. AMD Driver improvements may up the fps a littlebit in the future. Hopefully.
