S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of pripyat benchmark!!

here it is http://downloads.guru3d.com/S.T.A.L.K.E.R-Call-of-Pripyat-benchmark-download-2433.html. post your benchmarks!!

 

I hear COP is going to be the true sequel to SoC, definitely going to pick it up when it hits NA.

Preset: Ultra Render: Enhanced full dynamic lighting DX10 Resolution: 1680x1050 Advanced: (none)

Preset: Ultra Render: Enhanced full dynamic lighting DX10 Resolution: 1680x1050 Advanced: 4xMSAA DX10, Ultra HDAO

Temps after both benches: (Cooler @ max)

specs in sig.

 

lets hope it will be more optimized also better drivers.

bu the way stalker always killed our pcs.

 

Each game pretty much goes after top tier cards at that given moment in time. Though the first game really wasn't too much to handle with the 8800GTS 320 MB I had. Ran the game flawlessly maxed out at 1440 x 900.

STALKER CS is another story...............

 

It runs great on my Acer 1410 with Core 2 Solo SU3500 @ 1.4GHz and GMA 4500MHD, as long as you use static lighting. Granted you have to run at 1024x576 because native 1366x768 slows down too much. I hope this is really representative of the final game.

Mimimum Detail


Medium Detail


Actual image at 1024x576 resolution and minimum detail, static lighting. Doesn't look too bad.

 

as high as i could go, with no AA:

 

NOT bad

Love stalker. cant wait even thought at ultra things seems pretty bad here. lol

 

Yes but stalker is known to be released as a pretty bugy game. by the time it gets better from patches and drivers.

DX11 hope will be implemented, an interesting thing.

And yes at every game this happens like you sad its true if this would be true i still would have my gefroce 2 .

 

Not bad at all...

Results:

 

@htwingnut: I know you have an 8662, bust it out man!
@kevin_jack: you're OC'd right? hmm, I should try with no MSAA

Also, does anyone know if the MSAA option is to imply that COP will not support FSAA, only MSAA? or is the FSAA implied in the "Ultra" preset?
What about Anisotropic? Not that my rig could handle either option anyways...

@Lum-X: guess you're the true STALKER, you play better in the night

 

Yeah LOL. I'm always curious what a piddly little laptop can do, and quite frankly I'm more amazed than disappointed most of the time.

One thing about this benchmark is there is no easy way to quit the darn thing. If you realize your settings are too darn high, then you have to alt-tab to the desktop, Ctrl-Shift-Esc to Task Manager and stop the benchmark window first, then the running benchmark. Pain in the butt.

Either way, I'll bench my NP8662 and see what I get!

 

I think something is wrong with my system or this benchmark.... considering the scores other people are getting.

Why? See for yourself! And I am even using 4xMSAA and HDAO on Ultra!



Something must definitely be wrong.

 

What is it about the "SunShafts" benchmark that makes it so taxing if you use enhanced full dynamic lighting? What does this mean for the game? If you run just full, FPS is reasonable, otherwise average is in the teens, where the others are 40+.

 

HD 4850 checking in, Ultra settings, no AA, DX 10.1

 

Beast. What are you running on? a octo core with quad 5870's?

 

I wish! I am merely running my laptop on my sig! Core i7 1.6ghz, 4GB ddr3 ram and a GeForce GTX260M, which is a bit underclocked too!

I know something is definitely wrong with the benchmark test lol. I can't be getting such numbers with the full preset on....

 

Is there a way to force settings or something? I use Ultra preset with 4x MSAA, and all that, but the game doesn't look as if it is actually running those settings, it is more like running medium at 1920x1080, which would explain my extreme fps.

No matter what I put, the game looks too similar like settings are not changing at all....

 

Here's a full DX0 run, but with no AO or AA.

 

Here are the results for my NP8662, DX10, no AA, specs in sig. I can see that the benchmark was Dual Core optimised with 89 -100% CPU usage on Core 0 and 10% usage of the other. It definitely does not make real use of 4 Cores......yet.

 

Here's mine everything at AA X2, Sunshafts are still a real problem in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Still I hear it is great, no need for a patch even at release. Getting great reviews in Russia and other places it is already released. Can't wait till my in-laws send me the Russian version. XD

 

Ohhhh yay I love benchmarks! I'll d/l now and post back soon.

 

Let's hope we don't have to dl a million patches to get this one running good!

 

Man this sucks.... I can't test it properly because settings don't do anything for me. It always looks the same no matter what I choose, and I always get ridiculous fps.

Maybe I should re-download. Meh, will try it another time I guess.

 

So here are my results.

Ultra High, All default presets 1920x1080

Did a DX10.1 run

From W90 Benchmarks

And just a normal DX10 run

From W90 Benchmarks

Very interesting results between DX10.1 and DX10

Looks like 10.1 gives a much higher max fps in most situations but also a lower low fps making it like a double edge sword.

 

I'm glad to see a lot of us 260M owners are in the same neighbourhood (despite drivers & overclocks)

@ryzeki: you probably have 3D settings forced, you should use "Application-controlled" instead. Control panel -> NVIDIA -> Manage 3D settings
Also, make sure there isn't a custom "Program Settings" entry for the benchmark.

 

I don't use forced settings, but I found out that the issue appears to be when using DX10 enhanced dynamic lightning. Chaning the renderer to the previous one, enhanced non Dx10 one and I got a similar performance like everyone else equiped with a 260M GTX, though a bit less due to 1920x1080 res.

Sunshafts kill me, with an average of 10.9fps lol.

I also used HDAO on high, but MSAA was disabled as an option.

I wish I could try the ultra settings stock, but they don't seem to be working on my system.

 

how do i post my results?

 

You can upload a picture to a site like imageshak.us and then use the "image" function when you post.

 

after im done with benchmarking, how do i upload the image? sry i havnt done this b4.

 

I maxed it out easy, but it still looks like crud to me. And for how it looks I think the performance is not so great.

Wonder if this game supports 5760x1200 and I can bench it on my desktop

 

I wished for an MMO.. but ohwell the game Ive been truely waiting for, judging the benchmarks above, i think the GTX 260 is the way to go for me

 

na go for the dual GTX280s or 4870's

 

Ran it at home, supports surround and looks like also has DX11 support:

 

I am shocked that it even ran. Truly.

 

I was too. Very smooth. Granted you lose the lighting effects, but in a pinch, it'll do. I spend 80% of my PC time on this Acer, only because it's small and inexpensive, and it's near my kids, so if it goes belly up then at least it's a small loss.

Otherwise I'd be pretty upset if I lost my $1500 gaming laptop. Although now that the novelty of the laptop sitting around has worn off on them pretty much, I may switch to my Sager, but then it'll be something new again, and they'll be attracted and getting their grimy hands on it.

This reminds me I need to finish the original Stalker and Clear Skies. I got half way through the original and only dabbled with the sequel. Would be nice to get through those before this one is released.

 

No. Look at your CPU. Case closed.

The X-Ray engine is a true beast, and in certain respects, even ahead of CryEngine 2.0.

The game hungers for raw CPU power, and does very poorly on dual video-card rigs.

This engine is ideally designed for a very powerful CPU and ATi Radeon configuration.

Indeed. You should try MSAA, since you have DX10.1 support, meaning you can execute anti-aliasing with minimum performance hit.

 

Well then why is the Sunshafts one so much faster than the others (Day, night, rain)? Shouldn't the day, night, rain do better than the Sunshafts one that everyone else's configurations are lagging on? I can understand if it would do well based on the CPU/GPU configuration, but then the other benches should show an increase more than the Sunshafts as well.

 

Its a glitch, it has to be. Something is not rendering causing higher fps on his case or a false reading.

I have 2.7ghz quad and dual 4870 on my laptop and only had like 100fps max on the easiest bench, so what that person is saying about cpu is wrong.

On my desktop I have a 5970 and a 3.6ghz quad and not much better (much higher res though)

 

I can't explain that, and there's no doubt that the results are odd, and even the overall benchmark is also strangely high.

However, his config. should perform optimally compared to others using perhaps better VGA solutions but weaker CPUs.

I don't know. Maybe he should confirm whether the shunshafts actually appeared in-game. Because sometimes, it could be an internal glitch, and the features were not active, so he got a high frame rate.

Edit:
What I said about the Arioch's CPU is probably wrong. But c'mon, is it not generally accepted that the X-Ray engine v 1.5+ was exceptionally CPU hungry?

 

He did confirm it was a glitch, he set a lower easier to render option and then is scores droped to the same as the other users.

At most his 2.9ghz i7 is say 30% faster than my Q2Q @ 2.7ghz and thats being generous but his score is well over 300% faster on the bugged test.

 

True.

And his DX9 results are bad.

About the benchmark. Does anyone else see any wet surfaces during the rain sessions?

 

Yeah, that's what the book says but the true history is that it halves fps in my notebook. Maybe with a high-end GPU it works like you said.

 

Sure but it's not enough to just "close" the case on a quad-core comparable i7 pulling 300 FPS on something the rest of us barely struggle to get 30 FPS. Always always gotta read the thread before attempting to "drop the law"

I'm still hoping Ryzeki manages to get a proper DX 10.1 run, interested to see the true results for a core i7 + 260m.

 

That's too bad, regarding the MSAA in DX10.1. I always read up on how the ATi cards have this distinct advantage of using 10.1 extension to gain performance benefits over the majority of Nvidia grunts.

Also, @nthony, you are right. I apologise for what you interpreted as 'dropping the law', which was far from what I had intended, although I can fully appreciate why my initial comment came across as such. The i7 hype-train and poor perception on my part culminated in a very clumsy choice of words.

Now. . . I don't mean to impose again, but from what I have understood, his card isn't going to be doing DX 10.1. Well, it depends on which version of the 260m we're talking about, right? The original G92b 55nm versions are limited to just DX10.

 

no worries, just wanted to make sure no one got the wrong impression of the i7. Woops yeah, meant to say "10.0" - wishful thinking on my part...

 

Of course.

I would say that the i7 paired with a strong dual-GPU solution would show some solid results. Amongst the Clear Sky fandom, I often hear of people with really fast CPUs and strong Radeons getting real performance.

I am still kind of disappointed by the benchmark quality. The Clear Sky benchmark not only looked better but it also did a better job of demonstrating wet surfaces and volumetric smoke. Then again, maybe the Call of Pripyat benchmark isn't working right on my machine.

 

The test doesn't make any sense. Something is off.

Change the render from DX10 to DX9 there seems to be a bug for certain people.

 

run dx9?

 

Here's another I did. I'll try DX 9. LINK
