Hey..
im doing a survey i guess.. u can call it that..
about PC's and perfomances...

If you guys could post something like this... ill start of:

Intel Celeron 1.2ghz
380 MB ram pc100
40 hdd @ 5400
128 mb video pci (radeon 9200)
(thats all stock except the extra 128 ram and 128 video card.)
LFS : gettin about 40 fps alone in singleplayer. online goes down to 15-20 with one extra, drifting. and 15 and under when 3 or more ppl present.
CS 1.6: gettin about 20 fps, low at the beginning tho
CS Source: around 15-16.


if you could post the PC's spec's and perfomances you get in other games and at what settings, that'd be awesome.
thanks


im j/a to see with other PC's im building now a

AMD 3500+ 64bit
1GB ram (512x2, pc3200)
128mb video pci
on a Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe
500 watt psu

i got everything, except the CPU, usps should bring in the next fallowing days
well lookin foward for you reply's
thanks

we already have one of these threads.. check the Hardware forum.

oh whoops

if i was u, i'd spend the extra few dollars and get 256mb PCI-E card instead of 128. also, make sure the memory is fast. some companies sell faster memory than others.

just read your post again and realized ur talking about an old 9200 pci. lol.. nvm

You have no idea what your are talking about

noob4ever, would you mind terribly much if I locked this one?

Wait plz

Noob, if you're getting your comp beefed up for LFS, then you really don't need that much stuff. now maybe to play in a doom 3 marathon or something....

I dunno, it seems to me that too many people go totally overboard when updating a computer. I did have to get a new video card to play S-2...
total cost to update my comp was $100.
Take my brother for example, He gots this fancy case with neon strips, thermometer guages, all these cooling fans. a massive motherboard and chipset. I dunno, alot A LOT of memory. He spent close to 2 thousand U.S. on this thing. He only has one game that even almost needs that much crap.
And it's Boring.

I just think people should know more about what they intend on doing with their computer when they update it.

Ok, now you can lock it

2800 sempron
1GB GeIL 3200 (dual channel)
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Nforce2 mobo
6800 @ 350/700 @ 16/6
80GB 7200 Maxtor DiamondMax
LG 1720B TFT

LFS - Steady 60fps, never below 45 unless a huge amount of cars/smoke
CSS - Between 25 and 60 usually about a steady 45-50 though.

FPS is locked by vsync and always run 1280x1024 due to TFT screen resolution. 2x AA and 2x AF.

Looing to go to A64 ASAP

ZX81, hoping to upgrade to an Amiga 512 soon. The ZX81 really struggles keeping up with S2, and the 4kb memory expansion block on the back keeps falling out.

Mmm they still rule these days according to Mr. Heeley! (me thinks he overclocked it )

ROFL
Very good one

Gunn, mind waiting a lil bit more ?
thanks

umm
well i like playing lots of games, i like rendering, i use photoshop with files that are around 20 mb, and on this PC is just slow, runs outta virtual memory just by doing works in photoshop, the PC might sound "ok" but, my friend got a Pentium III, at 900mhz and runs alot better than my 1.2ghz celeron, on all games, but thats just a comparation..
i wanna have a good pc, so i can have better quality and i like making movies too so after i get it ill make some lfs movies, i already made some but really low quality.
Also i wanna try to play BF2, FarCry, CS:S, and new games that even at the lowest quality, would go slow.

My motherboard supports dual PCI express card, so thats what ill be saving money for next

this is my RAM

You can go on forever if you wish, but I was certain I saw a massive PC specs topic around here somewhere that might have been full of handy info for you. One thing I do know is there are plenty of members willing to offer advice so you should have some useful answers to consider regardless of how you proceed. Enjoy.

spec is listed below , as are the benchmarks

Elite Computer Systems ECS 760-M Motherboard
AMD64 3200+ Clawhammer
2 x 512k 400mhz Kingston Ram
Connect3d X800XT 256mb Platinum Edition
Tagan 480 PSU
LG CD/RW
Phillips DVD/RW
160mb Diamondmax10 SATA Hard drive
Soundblaster Audigy
4mb Blueyonder connection

LFS - Steady 60fps
CSS Video Test - 155Fps

Where is the spec?
I only see benchies ^^

i have...
AMD Athlon XP 2600 + @ 2100 MHZ
1024 MB Ram @ 333 MHZ
Radeon 9200 SE 128 MB
60 GB HDD @ 7200 RPM

i have in singleplayer with all AI 35 FPS
and without AI and / or in multiplayer all time 50 FPS

AMD64 4400+ X2 (Dual Core)
1 GB 400mhz DDR CAS2
MSI 7800GT 256MB
250GB Maxtor SATA
Soundblaster Audigy 2

LFS (All settings high, AF & AA on max) - Lowest fps: 74 - Highest fps: 214 - Average: when playing online around 80 - 120.
CSS: Will do videotest later

I have to ask as it's bugging the shit out of me.

How do you get 20FPS on CS 1.6? My lappy can get ~30 FPS, and that uses 64mb onboard graphics. The HL engine can run on anything. My lappy had a 766mhz Cel and could claim around 15-20fps. With my new 866mhz PIII I can get 30-40 (Though this is all in 800x600 as it's all this screen can throw down), your card should make up for the slow proc.

P4 2.8GHz Northwood@ 3.5GHz with Zalman 7000-Cu
ABIT IS7-E i865PE
2x512 Kingmax 433MHz
120Gb WD Caviar, 7.2k rpm, 8mb cache, sata
Leadtek 6600GT 500/900@ 570/1200, 128Mb
....

i play on 1280x960, with AA i AF and I get 90-120fps

Built it last January, seems due for replacement already :o Probably gonna wait til Jan. to build another.

Abit AV8 3rd Eye
AMD 64 3400+ (rare socket 939 version)
2GB Corsair PC3200 DDR400
ATI X800 Pro

Getting around 80-100FPS on max settings with 6x AA and 16x AF @ 1600x1200 32bit.

Just got this system for Christmas...it's SOO much nicer than my old system!

HP Pavilion a1250n
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
1.99 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
nVidia 7800 GT OC by BFG Technologies

On average I manage 150-175 FPS...I use 16x AF, but no AA...looks nice enough at 1280x1024!

1. There's already a long-ass thread about the same subject.

2. How really gives a f*uck about 20 pages of nonsense computer specs? It doesn't even make your virtual penis any longer because nobody cares to read those.
