Not really a showoff but had a great night/morning in the club and was shooting. I was just shooting only raw so did only quick convert of few photos to facebook without any corrections. Sorry for small photos. so much things to do today. In the the last picture is me. So who does not know me and I was around for already few years have finally chance to see me . And yeh, those chicks :P were wonderfull. They have been everywhere

Quote from Ped7g :

DEVIL 007: some math:
60 FPS = 16.6666..ms per frame
120 FPS = 8.3333..ms per frame
300 FPS = 3.3333..ms per frame

Most of the internal OS timers/thread switching/interrupts are often running in 1ms to 10ms period, rarely under 1ms, i.e. having application running above 100Hz with MS Windows (or any other ordinary desktop OS) can lead to a bit unpredictable results with serious degree of variation.
For 100+Hz applications it's usually very sane to switch to some real-time OS. Which doesn't make sense for computer game.

So you are measuring something what can be disturbed by so many tiny factors, it's difficult to tell. It may be AMD vs Intel optimizations in gfx driver, it may be AMD vs Intel optimizations inside Win XP threading, it may be some motherboard/bridge/OS communication taking a 1ms longer here and there...

I think you need to run the game engine under 60-100 FPS to measure performance of HW reliably, i.e. your HW is too powerful for this and there's no point for Scawen to solve this. If there's some additional performance needed, it's for that HW which can't run at steady 60-85FPS and I bet Scawen will focus on that, if he will have some spare time to work on optimizations.

The issue I mentioned in this thread only happening in LFS to me. I tried untill now to find out many ways to solve it but nothing. Not sure if this some sort of glitch between LFS and Win XP or anything else but Win7 simply solved it.

I did not notice in any other games such a behaviour. Not something really big to look at but maybe,maybe worth to spend some time later on. Thats up to Scawen to decide. My only purpose of this thread was just to report this.

Going back after few weeks and this was really nice to see such a suprise with new track. It looks really cool and what is finally welcome from my side is that the sideways parts of the track like fences and all simillar staff does not look anymore so big against the car. It makes the car on the track looking more real. LFS looks more real. The track looks promising with nice curves and other parts as well.

The only obvious things which is missing and could improve the omore realistic feel is better in game lightning. This is something I was expecting to come into S3 but it seems it will not get in :-(. Hope there are more suprise for S3 coming and as always devs had so far something more in their pockets which was not mentioned before the new actual content came out.

Hopefully more new tracks even not real will came out in the short future.

I am looking as well for the improved physics. My hope would be for Christmass but as always all things needs time.

Thanks DEV team!!!

No, he really enjoyed the stage!!!

It was my first event like that. Never have been shooting before in such a very bad light conditions. Not much even for 1.8F

We had company party celebrating 5 years of the project (Outsourcing for Verizon Business) with costumes (must express someone from 18 century and older).

Will post more later...

thanks all

Nice

Do you have close friends were you can go have a drink and talk with? If they really respect you, you can tell them anything.

Guys....I am mad.....I will cut my vains

The pricing of all the products after the price war between NVIDIA and ATI are amazing. You getting almost top performance roduct for 1/2 price you would pay for same performance product 2-3 years ago. Only costumers won here really.

Look for what you get now for 100Euro/GPB ....amazing.

Go for 275. Some 55nm 260 are afterovercloking same fast as 280.

CPU: Phenom II X3 720BE
Graphic: 4850 DDR5 512MB
Driver: 8.56.1.13
WIN 7 RC1 - practically same a the version which will be sold

1680*1050;4xAA + 16AF
USER LOD: 1.0
Screenshots always showing Standard shadows

- In the first screenshot from TV view the difference between test shadow and standard shadow was 1-2FPS max (less with test shadows)

- In the second picture from wheel view
Standard shadows: 110FPS
Test shadows:100 FPS (around 10 percent descreas in performance)

- In the 3rd pictureChase cam
Standard shadows: 150 FPS
Test shadows: 148

I tried also different tracks and positions and found that flucations is around 1-10 percent descrease with test shadows. However found some interesting pattern. In all views the difference between standard and test shadows is only 1 FPS hower from wheel view with mirror turned on its often 5-10FPS.

The GPU usuage was only all the time around 45 percent with fluctuation 2-3 percent up and down in all views except TV where the fluctuation is like 43-60 percent with sinusoidal shape.

I have theory, maybe stupid...
LFS might have too much pixels overdraw or not so good vertex cache performance.Maybe I am totally off.

Also heard somewhere when someone modified CAR models that its problem to use many polygons otherwise the performance decrease a lot. Sorry for mentioned about modding of LFS but wanted to report it.

So far I am running Win7 RC1 and I am so suprized by the performance and overal experience with this new toy. Looks like its even better then my loved WinXP. Vista seriously suck especially with resources allocation and usage. It looks they learned themself finally a bit at MS.

I am very puzzled if to buy it as well I saw the pre-order prices are so low. I would buy however only ultimate version.

Quote from BurnOut69 :

I'm willing to build a new system and the shop guy can give me this for 850€. I'd like to know what the experts around here think:

Micro: Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 2,33 1333Mhz
HD: Seagate 750GB Sata 3.5
Mobo: Asus P5K Premium / WIFI-AP Socket 775 AT
Fan: Asus Triton 85
RAM: Kingston DDR2 4GB PC1066 CL5 HyperX (2X2G)
Graphical: XFX GeForce GTX260 640M 896MB DDR PCI
Power: ATX 600W SLI Solytec

+ LG DVD R/W + Gigabyte ATX Box

Opinions, possible bottlenecks, suggestions?



Thanks!

Well I think thats around 50-100 euros more then he should be asking but maybe the prices in Spain are higher then here.

The question is for what main purpose this PC wil be used. I can say from start that this processor is not best choice for gaming.You can get quicker for less money.
Just tell us for what you need such a righ (rendering, video editing, games-what kind of games) and then it will be much easier to help you and give you some recomendaton either from AMD or Intel. Platform.

Quote from AjRose :

Err. Well. I have a better one than came with it

I have an AMD copper tube heatsink rather than the finned aluminum one that came with it.

But I'm going to get a new cooler soon. Just haven't decided yet Any recomendations?

Well I spent a lot of time searching for decent cooler and bought Xigmatek S1283. It seems its better then the above recomended S1284. I am so happy for what I got for the money. I have Phenom II X3 720BE and the CPU is running amazing cool with the cooler.

I also very good page with a lot of test of CPU collers is on the following link. They test also under heave thermal condition - up to 150W.

if you consider that is fun doing a racist abuse in a way you trying to explain....your life. I dont consider it funny at all even it is meant in different way.

Something not right here

I would not risk new graphic card with such a powersupply. The P4 itslef is enough power hungry and he could broke the powersupply by to much stressing it.
