Branco Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I’m planning to upgrade my processor. I own a P4 3.4C and I’m thinking in going to an AMD 3800. What happens is I’ve been seeing several reviews and the performance difference between to two go from around 15% to 32% (always in favour of AMD). I currently run LOMAC 1.1 with a frame rate around 23 (at ground level) and around 35 (it varies from 35 to 75) at normal flight level I use an ATI X800 XTPE, with graphic option set at high with a small change in day LOD (graphics.cfg change) What I’m asking is if someone with an AMD 3800 can post some feedback regarding LOMAC.

jason_peters Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I have a 3700 and a x800xt and have all graphics options at full except water at high (not very high) and visability distance at a tweaked med (about halfway between med and high) and at about 30 meters over a city the FPS still drop to 14. there is only 1 option that impacts the FPS when u have a system like this and its the number of structures in the graphics.cfg I have mine set at 65. If you drop this to 40 the FPS gain about 5 but you get popup :( I've posted another threat with my graphics settings to almost remove the pop-up for high end systems. Running 1280x1024 AAx4 AFx8 (AA and AF settings have no impact on FPS) Noticed u also posted at the GTR forum --- in GTR I get the corner stutter every one complains about with the only fix being running GTR at 60Mz - then its smooth (with 5.1 drivers) --------- System: i7-8700k @ 4.9GHz; Nvidia RTX 2080ti; 32GB (2 x 16) DDR4 @ 3333Mz Ram; ASUS ROG Strix z370-E; SSD Drive; Oculus Rift-S; Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branco Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Thanks for your reply Jason and I’m glad I’m not the only one who is using my spare time between LOMAC and GTR. In fact this seem to be the only games I play for some time. In LOMAC I have all option on high but, as you, the water is set on high (the default for high graphics) and the visible rage is also tweaked a bit (using LOMAN). However I don’t get the frame rate to drop so low as for you. The minimum I get is 23 in runway, and while flying over a city a low level is normally between 25/29. I don’t if you changed the day lod from the 40000 initial to 20000, but it can make a difference if you didn’t. I play at 1280x1024, 4xAA 16xAF.

Branco Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Richard Burns Rally screens as well I think this will clear things a bit about this two. Along with LOMAC they're the top of the class. Currently my dedication goes for GTR and LOMAC. RBR are a bit left aside, as the spare time is scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
