Let's have a Hardware speed test for SU

A MacBook Pro weighs in...

I'm at home today on my old G4 Mac Laptop.
Yikes ...I'd test with shadows on, but I can't afford to take a couple of hours off.
Have to try on my work machines tomorrow.

Ok, here,s mine, a 2.5 years white macbook:

14.0 frames/sec

Which is annoying since i bought a £600 Quadro FX3700. Probably better off with a game card.

Rest of the system

CPU i7 720
6G Ram

maybe Quadro or FireGl can get hight score

That IS the result with a Quadro card.

My MacBook Pro has exactly the same spec as troyhome.
2.93 Duo
9600 GT

P.S I love this machine

I think the best test would be to test something like this (with shadows and heavy textures and everything that taxes the GPU much) with different graphics cards but on the same system.

Something that we won't obviously do...

Wow. I got 21 FPS in a previous post without turning shadows on, I figured I'd give it a shot with shadows to see what happens. SU shadows are nasty, apparently:

That's a pretty serious hit.

My PC is an Advent Intel Core2 Quad 2.4GHz with 4Mb RAM - Vista SP2, NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS
Without's OK... but with shadows !

Thats high! What is your setup?

It's way back at post #8 on page 1, but here ya go:

E8400 Core Duo
EVGA 9800GTX+ x 2 in SLi
4 GB OCZ RAM
EVGA 780i FTW
WinXP SP3

Nothing overclocked.

Sony Vaio VGNFS660W laptop, which I've had for almost four years.
Intel Pentium M Processor 740 (1.73GHz1 , 2MB L2 Cache)
1GB PC-2700 333MHz DDR (512MB x 2)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 with TurboCache supporting
128MB (NVIDIA TurboCache technology combines the size and
bandwidth of video memory and dynamically available
WinXP Home SP2

Wacov · 5 Jul 2009, 12:11

Using a Q6600 at 2.4GhZ, 4GB DDR2 RAM, and a GTX 295:

I reckon I'm let down by my CPU clock. I get 2.5 FPS with shadows... and up to 15 FPS by making my SU window insanely small ^_^

Gaieus · 28 Jul 2009, 11:05

New machine:

3.0 GHz Dual core CPU
nVidia 9600 (1Gb) GPU
4Gb RAM
Windows XP SP3 (32 bit)

Did I tell you that I like this new computer?
And even my girlfriend likes it as it has a nice box/house, too (with a 22" Samsung monitor)

Hmmm. I didn't realise SU can take advantage of SLi setup. I read that it doesn't even scale linearly in most games. Apparently it does scale with SU. Otherwise GTX 280 from Solo's setup would have achieved higher score.

Here's my result on an old laptop that's slowly dying

Dell Latitude D400
Intel Pentium M 1700Mhz
1GB RAM
Intel 82855 GME Graphics Controller

Gaieus · 28 Jul 2009, 12:19

Ouch.

Rich O Brien · 28 Jul 2009, 12:37

Here's the result on my Desktop

Dell Dimension 9150
Intel Pentium D 3.40Ghz
2GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7900GS

Bit of an improvement over my Laptop but not as impressive as Gaeius' new machine

Have fun with it

Gaieus · 30 Jul 2009, 14:04

Now consider that it's new, the Windows registry is hardly messed up (which is unusual on MY machines )and not too many programs are installed yet. I will remember this thread in a couple of months and revisit to see if there's a considerable slowdown.
