LIST: EXPERMIENT DF Average FPS on various systems/embark/init
« on: September 19, 2009, 12:16:17 am »

I'm using this thread to dump my FPS and tweaks on my various setups. (I have 7 computers at home and will be loading DF on a few of them). I hope somebody finds it useful. If you want me to test a system on a certain rig/setup, let me know. Or any other specifics, I'll be glad to look it up, test, etc. I'll be figuring out more specific max FPS as my test fortresses run.

NEXT TO BE TESTED:
1.5 ghz core2duo 2 gig RAM laptop
1.7 ghz AMD sempron 1 gig RAM laptop
1.8 ghz Intel Celeron 512 DDR RAM


i7 920 @ 4.0 ghz, 6 gig DDR3 1600 PC12800 1600 mhz

6x6 map with river, 80 dwarves maxed at 200 fps, variable to 150 during battles, mass-dumping.

init

Core2duo E8500 @ 4.0 ghz 8 gigs DDR2 RAM PC8500 1066 mhz

Maxed out at 100 FPS with 80 dwarves, river and magma, 5x5. Slight slowdown during battles, diverting rivers.

could be useful :)
Make some saves with different inits, and in different situations and we could make a library how different system handle it :D
2.30 ghz AMD Phenom Quad-core 8gig RAM standing by for testing, if you'll go through the hassle and distribute the neccesary save folders :)

Awesome, good luck.  Please update the wiki with your findings, as I'm sure half of what I've read there is incorrect or misleading.

I've got a dual core 2.6 AMD 5000+ with "more ram than you can shake a stick at."
(No really, I do.  I have 4GB installed and have two more 1 GB chips I can add in--and my system recognizes it ALL because 64 bit addressing is <3)

Hey, while on this topic, what's the difference between partial buffer, frame buffer and all that jazz? (The 40d11 onwards ones)

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Theoretically a 1 core 4.0ghz proc will run as good as the others, sense DF doesn't have multicore support.

Aye,
Theoretically a 1 core 4.0ghz proc will run as good as the others, sense DF doesn't have multicore support.
Aye, but multicore is best for DF since you can run your OS and various programs on another core.
But you're right that if one the cores were really badass, like 4ghz, it would be awesome for DF.

True. You also need to remember the i7 has a different socket, with 1336 pins instead of 775 for example.
