    Alright, back on my desktop so I wanted to do some additional benching to give an idea of the difference. Also, just got a GTX 670 to replace my HD 6950, so I wanted to do a before and after bench to show the difference (will update with the GTX 670 info when I've swapped them out). Info and specs below.

    Got my GTX 670 installed and was able to do some benches before and after the switch (from my HD 6950) to see the difference. Did the benchmark on two resolutions (1920x1080 and 1280x1024) in addition to high and low detail. The demo I used is attached if anyone wants to try it. Also, it looks like vsync got enabled on my HD 6950, 1280x1024, High bench.

    ^Never mind did not read the entire post. Seems like on low it barely affected the performance levels. Thanks for posting this though most people know the CPU is the bottleneck (except on high settings), I always wanted to see someone actually benchmark the differences.

    Pretty much. I did notice that my setup was GPU-limited on the high settings (e.g. 'waiting for GPU' was in the >5ms range), so it makes sense that dropping it to low or reducing the resolution would make a difference. However, it doesn't matter how low you drop the resolution if your CPU-limited.

    Good to know that you can get a cpu powerful enough to put the load back on the gpu.

    Has anyone tried using nVidia's new Frame Capture Anaylsis Tool to do any frame time benchmarking with NS2? I was going to try it myself but to get the most accurate reading you need a game capture card which I do not have.

    ^ download link and how it works.

    bump

    lookin to see if anyones got a 7950 + 3770k, and what it's benching in current build.

    sorry no excel!

    Please follow these guidelines while capturing your benchmark:
    YES - Run FRAPS Benchmark for 20 Minutes (1200 Seconds)
    YES - DO NOT benchmark while in the readyroom. Wait until you have joined a team, and the round has started.
    YES - DO NOT benchmark loading screens.
    NO, was no server, it was hard enough to keep 2 times fully 20 minutes on veil...concede makes it hard - EITHER benchmark on NS2_SUMMIT or NS2_DESCENT (This will help keep the benchmarks somewhat consistent.)
    YES - ONLY benchmark a single round. DO NOT benchmark multiple rounds which return you to the Readyroom or display the Loading screen.
    YES - ONLY benchmark while running the game FULLSCREEN.
    YES - EITHER benchmark on "High" Visual Detail Settings and ENABLE everything (Bloom, Atmospherics, etc.) or DISABLE everything pretty and benchmark on the lowest possible settings (No Ambient Occlusion, AA, etc.)


    The High config makes the game very gummy, i mean like a input delay :P
    not playable on high.


    Update new cpu:

    You certainly can. I have an Intel i7 2600k overclocked to 4.6Ghz and I rarely see any number except 0 before "ms waiting on render thread," in r_stats 1.

    My GPU is the bottleneck (I have a GTX 580). It usually has 2/3 ms waiting for GPU.
  • Ghosthree3Ghosthree3 Join Date: 2010-02-13 Member: 70557Members, Reinforced - Supporter
    So for you the ms waiting for gpu is always above 0? I had a 5.0 OC at one point but I cannot for the life of me recall if it put the bottleneck back on the gpu.
  • DarkATiDarkATi Revelation 22:17 Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17532Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    @Ghostthree3

    Not *all* the time, but the majority of the time. Late game with lots of models and players running all over the place it can put a BIG load on my CPU, but the majority of the time my bottleneck is my GPU (which is not overclocked).

    What CPU are you running?
  • Ghosthree3Ghosthree3 Join Date: 2010-02-13 Member: 70557Members, Reinforced - Supporter
    I was running a 2600k with HT off during the 5.0 OC. Since had a fault in the psu that fried the whole pc, now running a 3570k but only at 4.2 because I'm an idiot and my new mobo is too small for my custom cooler :(

    That's a bummer (that you fried your old PC). Sounds like you have a nice new one though, even with the small mobo.

    It's interesting that you had yours up to 5.0 and I'm only at 4.6 (HT is on in my rig). But, I guess every chip is a little different. I have been shocked with the performance of my chip at 4.6Ghz. It runs like a champ, cool and stable. I mostly don't push it any further because I use this rig as my daily work / school / everything PC and I'd like the chip to have a good, long life. So, I keep the temps and volts down whenever possible. Plus, I have it set up to throttle down when it isn't in use. So, it doesn't run at 4.6 all the time. I think it throttles down to 1.5Ghz or something when web surfing, using Word, etc.
  • Ghosthree3Ghosthree3 Join Date: 2010-02-13 Member: 70557Members, Reinforced - Supporter
    Turning HT off allows you to use less vcore for higher clocks and less heat is generated. An i7 with HT off is better than an i5 as it's a higher quality chip. That's how I got to 5.0 I assume. Was running at it for about 3 months.
  • DarkATiDarkATi Revelation 22:17 Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17532Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    Hmm... I didn't know that, but it makes sense. Maybe I can play around with that sometime.

    I am running air—a coolermaster CPU heatsink in push/pull and things stay pretty cold. I'm sure I have plenty more headroom above the 4.6Ghz mark, at least to 4.8 with HT off.
  • Ghosthree3Ghosthree3 Join Date: 2010-02-13 Member: 70557Members, Reinforced - Supporter
    Yeah I'd see what you can get with HT off, be prepared to drop your vcore even going up a few clocks. The reason I decided to turn it off to get more clocks is I don't actually do anything that needs more than 4 threads. So I decided more power per core was more important for things like games (that use 1-2 cores max) than less power and more threads.

    So how about DX11 vs DX9 in the latest build?
