Performance expectations

[Eliminateur 0]

Well,

i'm opening this thread because i want to know what is the usual performance you guys are having in the game as with my 3 friends we're all experiencing massive differences, i'd like to hear about other players as well. Letme start specing, let's call them pc1 through 3:

 

* All 3 PC are XP SP3

* All 3 are C2D(different flavours) at PC1: 3, PC2 and 3: 3.2GHz

* PC1: 2GB PC2&3: 4GB

* adaptive FPS set, skybox off

 

PC1&2: FF 3.6, latest flash player(10.45)

PC3: chrome

 

PC1: 7800GTX 190.62 drivers

PC2: 5770 10.1 drivers

PC3: 8800GT 19x drivers(dunno exactly which)

 

PC1 with standalone flash player cannot pass 12fps.

With firefox, 20fps browser maximized, 1920x1200

CPU usage goes ~70% with lots of kernel usage, both cores(one core with 15% more load)

 

PC2 browser maximized 40fps, 1280x1024

 

PC3 browser maximized 30fps, 1920x1080

 

Why this difference, is flash being GPU accelerated on the newer GPUs?, any tips?, anyone else with a similar setup to PC1 to share their findings?

Screen res, mostly. Alternativa Engine does not render what isn't visible. Bigger resoulution - bigger visible window - more objects to render - higher CPU usage. Flash 10.1 Beta has some GPU acceleration with proper drivers and compatible card. Probably older architecture CPU on the 1st PC too, God knows what optimizations does adobe make. Cooling might make a difference too - if the cooler fan hasn't been cleaned for a while, CPU might not work at full force to avoid overheating.

 

p.s. MacBook aluminum, 13", 1280*, 2.4 GHz, 2GB ~25-30 FPS on big maps.

it would be interesting to see if 10.1 beta flash acceleration does indeed accelerate tanki, AFAIK the "new" acceleration in 10.1b is for h264 gpu offload.

 

Reducing the screensize two to three notches(- key) did boost the fps on pc1 to 40~FPS.

 

Weird overall....

Didn't read any single word from this topic.

Out dated topic btw ^_^
