Cards vs Games thread

I thought in doing a table that would show cards vs games vs quality of game play.
If you guys send me your data we can complete it together, and it would be a good source of information, a bit relative, but more tangible than those 3D marks.
I thought not doing it too complex, may be just showing: Card type (plus dedicated MB), RAM, Game, Resolution, Effects (Aprox, may be majority of them), Anti-aliasing, FPS (aprox. average).
Any recommendation is welcomed, although lets keep it simple.
This is the ongoing table (Feel free to send cards/games that are already mentioned):

Some thoughts before I post. Sorry, but I'm like that I know you wanted simple, so indulge me

You don't take into account clock level of cards. Mine is 425/378 X1600 256mb stock speeds, which is actually below the default for X1600.
..............................................

Card -- RAM -- Game -- Resolution -- Effects -- AA -- FPS
X1600 --1.5----F.E.A.R.--1280x800----High-----4x----39

Edit: changed. Messed around with lighting, shadow and texture detail settings

 

Ok, lets add between brackets the memory of the card (that also says some about the version). May be adding the clock level would make it a bit too complex, besides, there will be more than one data per game per card, so we will see that range, and you can also PM the author of the data to ask details.
I thought about the shadows, but in order to keep it simple, lets consider what are your settings in general, so if only the shadows are low, just put the effects High or Mid, your criteria. Thanks.

 

Wow, the X1600 is popular

512MB X1600 - 1GB - Counter Strike: Source - 1280x800 - max effects - 8x - 50fps
512MB X1600 - 1GB - Call of Duty 2 - 1152x864 - high effects - 4x - 45fps
512MB X1600 - 1GB - Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne - 1280x800 - max effects - 4x - 55fps

 

Sorry, I guess you mean 256 MB dedicated right?

 

You have mixed AF (=Anisotropic filtering) and AA (=Antialiasing). They are two totally different things. Fix your information. I added the AF level on my information.

Card (MB) -- RAM -- Game -- Resolution -- Effects -- AA -- AF -- FPS
X1800 (256) -- 1GB -- F.E.A.R. -- 1440x900 -- High -- 2x -- 8x -- 37
X1800 (256) -- 1GB -- ES4: Oblivion -- 1440x900 -- Medium/High -- Off -- 8x -- ~30
X1800 (256) -- 1GB -- Company of Heroes -- 1440x900 -- High -- Off -- 16x -- 32

 

AA = Antialiasing

 

Do I? No no, I never meant to incorporate AF, it was always AA. I PM the people that might have made the mistake. Thanks.

 

Well.. there's no option for 8x FSAA in F.E.A.R. There's only 2x and 4x FSAA options. Actually there's no such thing in the graphics card options either (in Catalyst Control Center or Ati Tray Tools), 6x is maximum in there for the AA. And actually even the ATI desktop flagship card, the Radeon X1950 can't do 8xAA, so 6x is absolute maximum for all ATI cards. Only card that comes in to mind that can handle such a thing is the Nvidia flagship desktop GPU Geforce 8800 gtx/gts which can do even 16x AA

 

Yeah, sorry about that. Got confused by the obscure naming scheme in the game settings, not so much the difference from a and b. Had to go on tweakguides to double-check what the game means Post edited

 

First off, the Go6800*:
Card (MB) ------ RAM -- Game ---- Resolution --- Effects --- AA ---AF--- FPS
Go6800 (256) --- 2 ---- F.E.A.R. -- 1440x900 ----- High ----- 2x -- 2x -- 32
Go6800 (256) --- 2 ---- Doom 3 --- 1440x900 ----- Ultra ---- 4x -- 8x -- 54
Go6800 (256) --- 2 -- CS:Source - 1440x900 ----- Max ------ 4x - 16x -- 76
*With a 360/750 overclock; since I almost never used it without this (obviously perfectly safe) overclock, I don't have scores from stock.

Next up, the amazing *cough* RADEON x200M:
Card (MB) ------ RAM -- Game ---- Resolution --- Effects --- AA ---AF--- FPS
x200M (128) ---- 1 ---- F.E.A.R. -- 1280x768 ----- Min** --- 0x -- 0x -- 40
x200M (128) ---- 1 ---- Doom 3 --- 640x480 ------ Min*** - 0x -- 0x -- 28
x200M (128) ---- 1 -- CS:Source -- 1280x768 ----- Med* --- 0x - 0x -- 54
**Yes, including forced DirectX 8 mode, and although *shudder* pixel doubling was used to get the "40" fps number, it is nearly playable (~25fps average) without it.
***As of driver version 6.10, Doom 3 was almost totally unplayable, even with extensive tweaking.
*Forced DirectX 7 mode.


And I know this is about notebook cards, but some people might be interested nonetheless:

Card (MB) ------ RAM -- Game ---- Resolution --- Effects --- AA ---AF--- FPS
8800GTS (640) -- 2 ---- F.E.A.R. -- 1680x1050 ---- Max ----- 4x -- 16x -- 69
8800GTS (640) -- 2 ---- Oblivion -- 1680x1050 ---- Max ----- 8xQ - 16x -- 30
8800GTS (640) -- 2 -- CS:Source - 1680x1050 ---- Max ----- 16xQ - 16x -- 99
8800GTS (640) -- 2 ---- SupCom -- 1680x1050 ---- Max ----- 8x - 16x -- 60+
8800GTS (640) -- 2 ---- Doom 3 -- 1680x1050 ---- Max ----- 8x - 16x -- 63

 

God that must look good. I'll post my benchmarks when I can.

 

Averages (stock/6.12):
X1400 - 1.5GB - Counter Strike: Source - 1280x800 - high - 4x - 8x - 35fps (zombie mode only)
X1400 - 1.5GB - S.T.A.L.K.E.R - 1280x800- maximum - static - n/a - n/a - 47fps
X1400 - 1.5GB - C&C 3 - 1280x800 - low/med - 2x - n/a - 26fps
X1400 - 1.5GB - Supreme Commander - 1280x800 - low - 0x - n/a - 24fps

 

I get better than 35 fps with that, i get about 80-100 fps with high everything, and AA, ect. So i dont know why you only get 35....

 

I only play zombie, that might be why =/. Most of those maps are poorly coded. I'm pretty sure I don't get 80-100 though on high in normal mode though.

 

Thanks, let's keep it generic though. If people is interested/surprised they'll ask. Keep posting!

 

The X1400 isn't capable of driving the Source engine at anything remotely near 80-100fps with such resolution and settings. Full stop. Unless this is another case of a mysterious 'magical card', I remember we had one of those not so long ago when somebody was saying he was running all his games on mid-high with AA on a 7200...

 

Go7400 - 1GB - Day of Defeat: Source - 1280x800 - Med - 2x - 0x - 55fps
Go7400 - 1GB - Company of Heroes - 1280x800 - low - 0x - 0x - 50fps
Go7400 - 1GB - FEAR - 800x600 - med - 0x - 0x - 50fps
Go7400 - 1GB - Battlefield 2 - 1024x768 - med - 0x - 0x - 45fps
Go7400 - 1Gb - Battlefield Vietnam - 1280x800 - high - 2x - 2x - 70fps
Go7400 - 1Gb - Unreal Tournament 2004 - 1280x800 - high - 0x - 0x - 70fps
Go7400 - 1Gb - Dawn of War - 1280x800 - high - 0x - 0x - 60fps

 

i ll contribute my gaming experience

Card (MB) - RAM - Game - Resolution -- Effects -- Antialiasing -- FPS

Enjoy

I run vista basic btw, hope i can get better drivers soon

 

ya run XP eh?

i only can get around 20 with 4x aa

vista basic =\

 

Come on guys, lets grow the list

 

512mb 7700 - 2g - Supreme Commander - 1680x1050 - med/high - none - 30fps
512mb 7700 - 2g - FEAR - 1680x1050 - med/high - 2x (AA) 35fps

XP Media Center.

 

Is this in XP or in Vista (I ask because I have a 1210 with Vista and a 7400 coming and want to know if I can expect this caliber or performance)

 

Wow, excellent FPSs for a new game like Stalker. Do you OC? Any advices to run it?

 

XP, sorry!

 

That's a shame. I'm have a devil of a time with people giving FPS in Vista

You're in Galway? That rocks! I was there for vacation to visit a friend there last year.

 

counter strike source Nvidia Geforce Go 7400
all high settings apart from anti-analising

72fps -

C&C generals
all settings full

 

paulness15: your resolution?

 

x1600-- 1 GB -- Tomb Raider: Legend -- 1280x768 -- High -- Off -- 30
x1600 - 1 GB -- F.E.A.R. -- 1280 x 768 -- High -- Off -- 30

 

X1600---2GB---FEAR---1280x800---High---No shadows or AA---60fps

 

can we still give data if ours is oc'd?

 

Sure you can, you probably wont end being the only one in the list with a specific card/game. if anybody have questions they'll ask you personally. Thanks.

 

Should make this a sticky thread...

 

x1600 (128) --- 1.5 GB - BF2142 --------------- 1280 x 768 -- Med-High -- 2x -- 35

x1600 (128) --- 1.5 GB - BF Vietnam --------------- 1280 x 768 -- Max -- 8x-- 60


x1600 (128) --- 1.5 GB - NFS: Carbon --------------- 800x600 -- Med -- 2x-- 25-30

 

7700 OC'd to 500/444 and 512 mb (rig specs in sigg)

7700(OC, 512) ----- 2g - Half Life 2: Deathmatch --- 1680x1050 - highest - off - 90

7700(OC, 512) ----- 2g - Oblivion --- 1680x1050 - highest - off - 30

 

x1600 (256) - 1 GB - Beyond the red line --- 1680x1050 - High - 2x - 60

 

sticki

this would help a lot of gamers...if only they didnt have to go to 10th page to find it...

 

Let's keep adding data for now

 

x1600 (256) - 1 GB - Quake 4 --- 1024x768 - High - 2x - 30

 

x1600(256) ----- 1.5g - Freelancer--- 1152×864 - highest - n/a - 60

 

x1600(128) ----- 1.5g - Fifa 07--- 1200x768 - Highest - n/a - 25-60

 

Necss: for AA: n/a means that the game does not have that option? or that you are not using it?
Also, can you estimate which FPS you have most of the time? 25-60 is way too wide range.
Thanks.

 

n/a meaning its not available
um the 25 fps is avg when ***med in to show more detailed players which is prob 20% of the time
i get round 60 when playing like kkicking the ball pasisng etcif you no what i mean?
so cant really avg coz its either 25ish or 60ish no in between lol

 

I know what you mean, but I'll average it in the general list (just to keep it simple), if that's fine.
