Original Doom on a 8800 GTX?!?

[MasterMike5280]

I have always wondered this, what if you run the Original Doom on a 8800 GTX, or even a x1900 XTX, how many frames per second would you get. Could someone try this out, I think seeing who could get the highest FPS on Doom would be an awesome competition. I bet someone could get over 2000 FPS, LOL !!!

you're. so. cool.

?... I'm serious about this... :?. I was just wonder if anyone (I can't afford one) could try this out, just out of curiosity.

The original Doom didn't use a 3d card. It was software only so it wouldn't matter what video card you have. The CPU would make a difference.

 

[MasterMike5280]

Well, what about Duke Nukem 3D, or Quake 1, or Unreal. I know those used a video card.

 

[Valtiel]

I think the CPU would bottleneck the card before you could achieve the max amount of frames.

 

[Anoobis]

I think being DOS based would somehow be a limiting factor as well.

LAWLZZZZZ OMG LETS GET LIKE 1337 FRAMES GUYS LAWLERZ!!11!!!ELEVEN!!!!! ZOMG GUYS THAT WOULD BE SO 1337

 

[crualtortus]

it wouldnt matter. because the human eye really cant detect a difference once it gets to 60 frames and up. and the amount of tearing would be crazy. the monitor wouldnt be able to refresh fast enough.

Even better lets play pong on an 8800GTX SLi. Well I wouldn't knock the guy too hard he's just curious...

I know, the human eye can only "see" 24 FPS, but I was just wondering how much technology has advanced and how many FPS would be the outcome. Hell, even try HL1.

If you use Doom Legacy or ZdoomGL it would... I have them both on my system right now.

Actually not true that's most likely a myth perpetuated by the fact that movies are either 24 FPS or 30 FPS. But they have blur motion so it's different for them. It really differs from person to person how many frames per second you can "see".

Don't let this thread turn into another one of these damn how many "FPSes ken teh human I C guyz??" threads please!!

I got 808.7 FPS in Doom 1, Demo1 w/Doom Legacy 1.32 in OpenGL mode@ 640x480x32 NOAA and NOAF. Thats on my 2.8GHz P4 with a Radeon X800XT.

 

[MasterMike5280]

That's why I put quotes on "see".

Your a bit off on 24fps. Doom was limited to 50 or 60, as I remember, through DOS.
It would probably be as stressfull on your cpu as writing on this forum. Can remember my Rage Fury and K6/2 hitting a 200+fps min. :lol:

Thank you for replying, anyone else.

Im pretty sure that Doom1 originally had a 35FPS limit... I could be wrong on that. The limit was removed later in most source ports.

 

[Blacken]

Yup. That was it.

My human eye can see that u need a girl

 

[MasterMike5280]

Don't flame me!... Come on...

 

[Lionhardt]

i played that game before.
it was extremely gay.
why were people gay in the early 90's?
i do not understand.
i guess it was before my time.
payce.

 

[Rhinofart]

No we need to try sopwith on an overclocked New Gen Proc. Hell that game was unplayable at 8.77 Mhz!!!! Needed to turn my 8086 down to the 4 Mhz setting.

Here's a silly question: if my LCD monitor has a response time of 5 ms, and I get 200 fps in some game, that means the pixels change as fast as the monitor can change them, i.e. a new image every 5 ms, right? What happens if I get more than 200 fps? Will it look horrible? Can something get damaged?

response time has nothing to do with refresh rate. what your 5 ms means is that it takes 5 ms for the monitor to respond to a change on the screen (ie something happens). your monitor (almost guaranteed) has a frefresh rate of 60. 60 hz. what happens when your computer puts out 200 frames per second or w/e is the monitor throws out unecessary frames. the computer is giving 200, but the monitor is only using 60.
