With a very modest system.
AMD FX 8350
8 Gigs Ram@1600
AMD HD 7870 2GB
WD Black HDD
Windows 7 64

Will do some more fiddling with this when I get home as well as snoop around in the ini files.

How do you post a screenshot here? When I tried it just came up as a blank X?

can you rather name the preset instead the invidual settings please , then I need to cpu-z.txt

[z3n]

Max Settings
except shadows to quality (didnt want to test max shadows, since I turned on SSAO, Distortion Effects)

3770k
32gig ram gskill something or other
samsung 840 pro
2 evga gtx titan superclocked
windows 7 64b

uploaded cpu-z to pastebin
http://pastebin.com/4PC6MBDR

min was something like 39.5, something decent anyway.
avg fps 47.0
max 67.0

at least it is better optimized than rome 2 was at launch


and now tested again all max settings + ssao/distortion

avg fps 42.0
max 63.0
min 36.0

New AMD drivers will probably be released in the next days according to an AMD representative

Since SLI and MSAA is currently borked on AMD cards I will wait for those drivers until I perform some benchmarks. Hopefully they will include Attila optimizations (but that's by far not ensured, lol).

Hi z3n,

I really need results that are UNMODIFIED and use the stock presets, as given in my example. Custom settings or "recommended" settings are not comparable at all.

Thanks in advance if you can run the benchmark again and posting the results.

Hi guys,

I just finished and uploaded the Hyperthreading and multicore support benchmarks:

This was the Nvidia 'optimise' setting. But Other people seem to get much higher fps, so maybe I will play around with settings more.

[A Barbarian]

@Rostam_e_Iran
Can u try to lower shadows to minimum to see whether that makes a bigger difference?


Regarding your results, most other people who have posted actualy benchmark numbers have also faster PCs.

I ran your settings I can only reach max 57 fps, average of 43 fps and that's with a 1680x1050 res. Is the 30~ fps difference due to the cpu or the extra 8 gig ram or both? Just seems a huge difference even though my gpu is better.

Will try and let you know.
On the pc side, I didn't think my pc was that slow, only bought it last year

It's CPU + GPU. Gtx680 is faster than gtx 760 + I have 2 GTX 680 in SLI. Is your CPU oveclocked?

Your PC is actually pretty good. It's just that people with high-end machines tend to post more benchmarks than people with more 'normal' computers.

Should your FPS show a solid increase with lower shadow settings, then overclocking the CPU will probably help u to get more performance.

[Rostam_e_Iran]

I see. How do you find out if it's oc'd?

@A Barbarian Changed shadows to performance and gained 1 extra fps. I always seem to cap at 57 fps not sure why and I'm running with Mr.Freud's settings. Also disables/enabled unlimited vedio memory, but always the same fps.

ACtually just got the mci afterburner and gona tweak it and hopefully if I can get 50+fps avg I'll be happy.

[SPARTAN VI]

I'll share my detailed results tonight. Against my better judgement I went ahead and picked up Attila, but for 50% off.

My first impressions are that it's very CPU limited. My specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair XMS 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" SSD
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: PNY XLR8 GeForce GTX 770 2GB (SLI)
Video Card: PNY XLR8 GeForce GTX 770 2GB (SLI)
Case: Antec P280 ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

I was running the "quality" preset at 1080P, and put out a 45fps average with SLI off, and 42fps average with SLI on. I reviewed my GPU usage to see what was going on, and found that my GPUs were only at 50-60% load with SLI on. With SLI off, my single GPU was at 100% load. Interesting.. So I cranked up the resolution to 3840 x 2160, "quality" preset, and averaged 40fps with SLI on, and 24 with SLI off. So SLI works, I just cant average over 40-ish.

[booker]

I5 4460
8gb
R9 280

Max quality : 29.8 fps avg
Quality: 36fps avg

Is normal to get only 6 fps from max quality preset to quality?

I was expecting higher gains by setting everything almost all on quality without ssao and aa

You CPU is not overclocked. It's something which is done manually and can harm the hardware. So I would recommend you to read some basic articles before/if you decide to overclock your CPU. Be careful with MSI too when overclocking your GPU.

I think benchmark is buged. I just did few benches - setting screen space reflections to performance instead of quality takes away about 10 fps for me lol

[booker]

Yes im seeing way to many outcomes with similar rig. Something is not right. Turn off ssao only gave a 2fps boost

Which nvidia driver are you using Freud? I have an almost identical setup, but I max at 50ish and average 43-45fps.

first of all thanks for this excellent example of how I expected the posts here well screenshots aren't needed.

If you have the time it would be cool to know how the performance is with SLI / SLI off and also on other presets. So you would need a maximum of 8 runs for the benchmark to share us an excellent example !


RPG's post is like I would like to have it. Clean and easy, so I can directly use it for the original post. It would be cool if all people that have posted here already, or posted in Dr. Freuds earlier thread that got merged, could actually follow this example.

The more presets you can be bothered to test, the better our variety of results and actually also the quality and reliability of the figures.
