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

Actually my last run does look like DX 9 if you have to specifically select DX 10.

 

damn don, how you beating a desktop card???

 

Alright, here are some runs, 1680x1050, Extreme preset on Enhanced full dynamic lightning:



And here is the same but with SSAO enabled in HDAO mode and high quality:




In the end, the game doesn't look that good, in my opinion. Enabling HDAO hardly improves the game visuals on a groundbreaking way, and the performance suffers too much for the little benefit. Sunshaft are way overkill though they kinda look nice. I guess they just went crazy with the amount of sunshafts heh.

It sucks that I can't run DX10 because it gives me garbage. When I run on DX10, the game looks like on medium settings with static lightning, which is why I get such high framerate.

 

don't disagree with you there the game looks dumb.

 

Well that gives us an idea that the framerate readings are real and not wrong, but for some people and there configurations things are not rendering properly so its a bad test.

 

Yeah, it is definitely a bad test alright.

 

I am pretty sure that once the modding community get a hold of the final product, things will improve. (Refer to the depth of field and float 32 mods - both improve image quality and performance.)

 

​

what are you getting?

 

nothing yet...haven't ran it.
i was talking about you beating viciousxusmc's 5970
i was about to cancel my order!.....N O T !

ill run it on my last 295 a little later.since i sold the other one already.

 

In the defense of my 5970 it was 5760x1200 resolution

 

very fair indeed!
i was still knocked out by 600 plus frames these guys we're getting.

 

Oh and DX11 lol

I think I'll run the bench now and take a few screen shots. Be back in 10.

 

hopefully my card will be in tomorrow...im ready to bench. the 295's have run their course...

and im ready to bench dx11

edit:
i see that game is not the best on detail....darn!

 

Yeah not at all it looks pretty dated even with maxed out DX11 settings. But I guess its the gameplay that should sell the game not the graphics. I have not played any of the first 2 Stalker games but they got rave reviews from the fans.

Actually I tried to play the first one but only 15 min into it I couldnt stand it and uninstalled it from how it controlled/played.

I think I will give this 3rd one a shot, any game that supports 5760x1200 gets my attention.

Starwars Force Unleashed is one I just found out about that gets priority over this, so is Madballs because its only a $10 indie game on steam.

 

Stalker's resource eating is mainly lighting, deferred rendering, and occlusion mapping. It is technically very intensive seeing as very few games pull of HDR and lighting the way this game has, but somehow, the overall package doesn't always look very good. The foliage is just wrong! Hell, the wet surface feature, which is a DX 10 exclusive, doesn't even look that good, and you have DX9 API-games doing better.

The game's main reputation comes in the fusion of RPG elements and atmosphere.

 

did you try with AA on? maybe that's what it is...it was showing way to many jaggies.

 

Nope no AA on, I'll try again later. Im turning in for a few hours sleep before work.

 

hummm the gts250 didn't fair so well... trying the 295 now.

alright my man. get your rest.

sounds like a good plan...*powernap time*
