Post your Unreal Tournament 3 Frame rates here!

Well, after pre-ordering it in June 2006, a demo has finally snuck out, and i thought it might be an idea to post some Frame rates just to see what everyone else out there is getting.

1280x1024, full detail

Shangri La - 35-40FPS

When upping it to 1680x1050, the frame rate dropped to between 27 and 33. for me this was unacceptable, and 35-40 seemed just about the limit to what i could cope with playing. Will hopefully be upgrading GPU soon, ready for Crysis! So anyone with an 8800GTX that fancies posting their results, please do!!!

My System:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2GB Corsair XMS DDR2 800
Leadtech 7950GX2
Intel Bad Axe M/B
Windows XP SP2

I've not long rebuilt this system, so all clock speeds are factory defaults at the moment, that will change soon enough!!

Cheers!

1920 x 1200 max settings getting 25 to 32 fps, runs great!

X2 6000+ at 3.2 Ghz
EVGA GTS 640 Mb 550/1700
2 Gb Gskill DDR2
XFI Sound
Win Xp
2 x 150 Gb WD Raptors
24 " Gateway Panel

HOW DO I SEE the fps

I've since overclocked the GPU, and now get 47-55 fps on 1280x1024 with max settings. Seems very smooth, and most of all, good fun!! Quick and frantic!

immm its not working righ,t on 1920x1200 62fps on 640x480 62fps

i run it 25-35fps with my 8600gt and my good old amd. And this game is very good playable even at 20fps. My settings are maxed @1440*900 (same as 1280*1024) so im pretty happy with it.

On single player with max settings and 10 bots on the shangri la map. I get dips into the mid 30's at the lowest. It normally stays around 45-50. Yes, there are times when its stuck at 60. Still very playable. Edit.....this is at 1280x1024. I need a faster processor. O, and i get a constant 62 fps at the main menu! heks yea!

With everything maxed:

89 was my highest.
65 was my lowest.

Specs below.

getting 28-32fps
AMD X2 4200 @ 2.4
2G DDR-800
x1800xt 256Mb (Cat 7.10)
running at 1680x1050

i reduced the %render to 80, frames jumped to 32-40ish, cant really notice any loss in quality casue the low textures make the game feel gritty anyways

i also had to install another fresh windows version (XP pro x86) cause the beta is NOT compatible w/ XP x64. Hope that changes by full release

overall, not very pleased w/ frames, cant imagine them with full textures and/or AA enabled. Is the code not optimized yet or what? anyone know?

-btw you dont need fraps to see frames just access console in-game (by hitting "~" ) and type "stat fps"

When i had posted the previous message i had it set at 85FPS and then once he tried to say i was lying i upped it to 150FPS max.

I dont remember if i signed a NDA or not, so i distorted the image except the FPS in the top left corner. If anyone tries to claim that its fake i have the original and will host it.

The first is 96FPS running around and scoped on the bridge looking at some aircraft in flight.
The second is siting idle at 115FPS.

Edit: click them to see full size!

ok i change the [Engine.GameEngine] and now i get up to 162fps on 1920x1200 maxed out immm doesnt sound right

correction i was on 800x600 its 80-115fps @1920x1200

That sounds too low; I'm playing at 1680x1050 at the highest available quality and it stays at a constant 60FPS.

Also a note to anyone who may be running into performance problems. In the past most unreal games and well for that matter engines based on EPIC's design have been VERY CPU dependent. If you run into problems and have the newest drivers and clean OS then try upping your CPU speed if you can. A simple example to understand the difference between lower CPU and higher CPU usage for this engine is to turn on the Advanced Catalyst AI in the CCC if you have an ATI Card. It will take up much more CPU power than the standard setting. Run the UT demo and check your frames (check not only for highs of lows, but also just for smooth gameplay and consistency in the frames.) Then set the settings back to standard for the Catalyst AI in the CCC and you will see that your frames will be higher, more consistent, and map textures at the beginning of the map will load faster. All because then engine was able to utilize more of your CPU better. This has changed my friends thoughts on the game completely and I didnt even increase the actual speed of their proc...lol always the little things that make it ed?

Best,

what he said also you can make the MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62 into 99 or what ever 99 was good for me, i even went above that. you can find it under the ut folder.(note: mine is under demos)
C:\DEMOS\Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\Engine\Config

Because the site is run by a single leprechaun in Ireland that keeps pressing the stop button every time you think you are getting somewhere.

At 2560x1600 and full everything, I usually get around 60 FPS, dropping to 45 every so often.

QX6850
BFG 8800 GTX OCed

Unsurprisingly, SLI yields a frame rate of 7

MAX 140
MIN 90

Its going to look like im lying now compared to you guys, but rest assured i'm not. Anyway I have 2048mb DDR 2, Asus motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (dual core processor), Nvidia GeForce 8800GS Alphadog Edition, normally runs at least 81FPS at 1680 x 1050 with everything set to highest.
