/me dreams of the kitchen being finished.

lol. and that makes you a good driver?

sry, but I was laughing at this... "and every time I go out to drive I always end up showing off on how great a driver I am."

Rofl!!!! you have to be kidding right? llololol

I dunno, I doubt some companies would charge the devs to use their car. It doesn't hurt asking does it?

dont forget the stunt dirt track.. with a off road section, mud pit, and a few jumps.

Quote from csimpok :

What about making another topic for Kitchen updates? Here should be only LFS related things cos this way this thread su.. well not the best

this _IS_ the kitchen thread....

we need KITCHEN PICTURES!!!

*Bump*

way to thread crap guys.

oh, and welcome to lfs. You should buy S2.. Its worth every penny.

OMG!!! Now that is awesome! amazing work.

oh damn, your right. Never noticed that till now. Would be cool though to have the rock sounds.

uhhh. you must be deaf.

oh man that would rule. All for this!

cant you rename it when you dl it?

here is the replay. started at the second red light, and ended exactly 60seconds later.

benchmark.spr

There we go, check the first post. I posted benchies with my CPU @ 2.4

Yes, I will drop the cpu to 2.4GHz, and run the tests, then up to it 3.6ghz and run the tests again.

Forgot to add that the LFS settings are all on the highest quality, and the latest drivers.

Yah, I know its nothing new, but i was bored. :P And yah, different cards will take a different performance hit with aa/af on. I should throw my 9500 pro in here and see how it does.

I decided to do some benchmarks to see how CPU dependant LFS really is. The results I found are pretty impressive.

Test Setup:
CPU: Intel P4 2.4c @3.2Ghz
Memory: OCZ PC4000
Video Card: XFX 6800GS AGP @ 420/1.1 (Unlocked to 16/6)
OS: Windows XP MCE
Sound Card: Creative X-Fi Extreme Music

The Benchmark:
I made a custom replay with 12 XFG AI on Blackwood.

Fraps was used to record the framerate for 60 seconds, benchmark started and stoped at the same time every run.

Each test was ran twice, then the results were averaged.

The Results:


The first test was run with 8xaa/16xaf.



The second test was run without AA and AF.

Conclusion:
As you can see AA/AF, and resolution has a very little effect on performance. Framerates are almost identical throughout all the resolutions with and without AA/AF. So if you want to squeeze thoes extra frames out of LFS, but have a mid range video card, and a low end cpu, upgrade the cpu first. Most of you already know this, but to bad, I felt like posting something.



UPADTE!

Ran the benchmarks again at 2.4ghz. Even more impressive results.


With AA/AF


Without AA/AF

it also helps if the A-Arms are attached to the car.

come on Scawen... Kitchen update.

im 99% sure its the psu.. Generic psu's are never near their rating in watts or amps.

EDIT: also 97Watts is wrong for a 7800GT.. maybe idle.. Load they draw around 250watts.

Bump.. how about a 2006 update? on the kitchen that is.

400W isnt enough for that card.
