I would like to comment that the demo is unnecessarily long. And for some reason, it crashes every time right near the end where the helicopter is being shot at by rockets. I've never had lost coast crash before.

Uneccessarily long? I thought it was rather short myself. And it wasn't strictly a demo, though that was it's primary purpose. It was an addition to the storyline of HL2.

And what do you mean you've never had lost coast crash before? It was just released.
 
I am having a hudge problem.

System in my sig, I get around 30 FPS with 1260x1020(or whatever is closest)

I have the lastest 81.85 drivers, and i max all the settings out. I have Dual 7800GTX BFG OC and my CPU ( X2 3800+) oced at 2.5GHz.

30 is about max in lost coast, can anyone help me?

What settings specifically are you running? Are you forcing anything in the drivers? Also, how is your normal hl2/css performance? What do you get on the css stress test?

I am doing all the settings in game, 4xAA, all in game, i will do a stress test right now for css, i just lowered all the settings to the lowest they can go and i get 30FPS, i have a score of 11,000 on 3Dmark05.
 
System in my sig, all stock.

HDR ON: 29.34 fps

I think the fact that my vid card is "broken" throws this benchmark off on my end.
 
I jsut did the stress test with 1600x1200 with 4xAA, 16xAF. and i get 46FPS.

I used to get 155FPS with a single 7800GTX same settings and i used my DFI Ultra-D Nf4 mobo.

Now i use the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium with Dual 7800GTX SLI.

I have a 500W PSU.

That's messed up. Do you have the latest bios from asus? I'd probably reinstall the video card drivers if I was in your position (use drivercleaner in between).

My 15" lcd has a max res of 1024 by 768 tho, so keep that in mind.

Wow you should be getting more than that, I force 4x AA and 8x AF through the drivers everthing maxed, full HDR, v-sync off, I get 102 fps max and it dips down to the low 30s, 50s to 60s average though. What do you get in F.E.A.R. ?

I dont know the exact numbers in FEAR, but i could play everything maxed out and get realy good framerate like 80 or so. my max was like 200-250 i think

I'm speaking in reference to the TIMEDEMO that was posted. If you run it, it plays through the entire level in a fairly slow manner. I must have been just sitting there watching the demo play through for like 5 minutes or more and didn't even finish. In the timedemo, near what I assume is the end (right where the last commentary is supposed to be where Newell announces that it is the end of the level), the timedemo will cause Lost Coast to crash. When I just play through it, I don't have any problems.
 
Hi,

Well I tested it out with 2 resolutions

at 1920/1200 with everything on high with 4x/8x I get 36 fps avg

at 1280/1024 with everything on high with 4x/8x I get 67 fps avg

Without HDR I get:

at 1920/1200 with everything on high with 4x/8x I get 60 fps avg


So resolution here is really giving me a massive performance hit!! Nearly 100% more frame between 1280/1024 and 1920/1200

Damn 24 inch :p

Oh, my bad.
 
System in my sig, I get noticable slowdown at 1600x1200, just doesn't feel very smooth.

Did the same thing at 1680x1050 (native resolution) and got 30 something.

How do you like x850's in crossfire? I was thinkging of getting x1800xl in crossfire once prices drop.
 
1280x1024 x2 AA

55.08 HDR on
65.83 HDR off

not woot or anything but very acceptable

running on desktop in sig

I love it. :D I had 7800GTX SLI. (I own a gaming system company so I can play with lots of hardware.) The 7800 GTX SLI was fast but the IQ was no were near as good as ATI IMOA.

The biggest issue with X850 in Crossfire is not being able to run at 1600 by 1200 above 60hz. I really miss playing games at that resolution. The High AA and AF makes up for much of it but I still miss it. For me I am waiting for X1800 XT CF. I have a X1800 XT sample card and it runs real nice. (I am not using it as it is for a system I am building for review.) As said many time X1K CF does not have the 60Hz limitation so I can't wait to have it myself.
 
49.3 @1920x1200 w/ HDR

everything on high settings

73 @1920x1200 w/o HDR
14.7 framerate variability
everything on high settings
4x/8x AA/AF

specs in sig are incorrect, im at stock 425/1050 clocks on my video cards
(waitin for new riva tuner)
 
Guess it's time for me to let go of my old athlon xp and get a 64. HDR On, 4x/8x AA/AF, 1280x1024 everything else set to max

31.12 1.25 frames variable.

Sigh, she's served me so well.
