<div class="IPBDescription">Phenom II users come here!</div>hello

I wonder how good (or bad) other users with Phenom II run NS2...

I know that main FPS problem is server tickrate. im just curious :)

Please list your Phenom II PC specs and aprox FPS in early/mid/late game

i start :)

Phenom II X4 965 (3.4 Ghz)
8gb ram
6870 1gb ddr
Win7

early game: 80 walking around, 60 in combat
mid: 50 walking, 40 combat
late: 35 walking, 20-25 combat

I want to give you a proper response to this, but I'm not at home right now. Will edit later.

George Jetson

Phenom II x4 965 black edition
3.4ghz overclocked to 3.9ghz (specifically for NS2!)
8gb DDR3
Radeon 6670

Readyroom 45-65fps
No fighting 45-55fps
Fighting or Lots of Structures 15-35fps

I found that overclocking got me a huge FPS increase, though I only recommend it if you know what you're doing and have proper cooling.

When I run the profiler, I see hiccups pertaining to the "Engine" aspect. It will jump from 2ms to 60+ms, though I'm not entirely sure if that isn't normal.

I really want to be able to start streaming and record some hype videos but the game is just barely playable after overclocking. I overclocked the video card too, but I didn't get nearly the performance increase I did from the CPU. I'm sure you've looked around and have seen everyone talking about how CPU intensive it is on one core so that makes sense.

I should also note that I am running the menumod and the lua autoexec scripts from the performance issues thread. I have it on max GFX settings, with the stuff like AA/bloom/etc turned off.

having the same

Phenom II X4 965 (3.4 Ghz)
8gb ram
gtx 460 1gb ddr
Win7

running the game on 19" tft with 1280x1024 on medium settings.
and often with the menumod to turn bloom aa ect off.

its like:
early game 80 - 60 too
midgame 50 - 40
and late 15 - 35

and depending a lot on strucutres on the map and on playernumbers when you play with 4 players for example you have more FPS then on 7vs7.

Okay my turn:

Phenom II X4 965 BE @ 4Ghz
FSB @ 236 Mhz x 17 multi = 4,012 Mhz

Rest of the system:

16gig RAM OC over FSB @ 1.4V
Radeon HD 5850
Intel SSD 510 for OS and NS2 (fast loading!)

The configuration is absolutely stable, I run different stress tests like Prime95, IntelBurnTest and different Benchmarks for hours without a single crashes. Also no crashes for months with all other kind of tasks like running multiple virtual machines, video rendering, compiling code, etc.

NS2 runs about min=30, avg=50, max=80. I'm satisfied and can't complain about the engine performance in general. I just wish it would bit a faster and with vsync to get rid of the tearing.

TrC

4G Ram 1600
GTX 460 1G
Phenox II 1055t @ 4ghz

55ish non-combat

25-40 combat drops as the game goes on.

Ricaz

Phenom II x6 1050t @ 2.8 GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM @ 1333 MHz
GeForce GTX 570

Running at 40-60 FPS in readyroom
Early game about 30-40 FPS
Mid-late <30 FPS

I'm definitely not satisfied with this, and I hope this is something you can fix.
I expect running at min. 60 FPS at all times.
