Intel Quad Core

[jujubee]

Have you ear something about the new AMD ? They have said 40% more fast than the intel quad.

It's a very bold claim made by one of the AMD executives. I doubt they (AMD) would announce something that big without being sure of their facts or at least having tested against the Intels. Also, keep in mind that they need to come up with a newer more powerful processor at a cheaper price - because this past year Intel has won back the marketplace. If it is a lie or an exaggeration, AMD will face serious backlash from the computer industry as a whole.

Will try the script on my 8800gtx later today and see how it goes. Dont think it will be all that good as drivers are still crap and it seems slower than my old 7800gtx.

Hey Daforce, did you try that script already? Make sure you update all the texture paths first, because many of them are from max4 installation, and they are not available in the max8 or 9 folders.

If anyone has an ATI 1950XT, please try this test, I'm interested in the results. I have an Nvidia geforce 7600GT, but it's not that much better as my 3 year old ati radeon 9800pro, so I'm a bit dissapointed and consider changing to something else. I'm not willing to pay 650 euros for a card though, so maybe the 1950XT is a good buy for me.

ahhh its possible I forgot

Will try it now.. (thru VNC) but im sure it will be fine

[DaForce]

Ok here is my score, I started this up thru VNC then quit out so it didnt interfere with the display. Resolution was at 2560x1600. Will do it again when I get home at 1600x1200 or something so it can be more standardised.

On another note. Had to download alot of textures from max4 as max9 didnt include a fair few textures.
Got them from here:

How does it compare?

DaForce: Is this using OpenGL or DirectX?

[DaForce]

Seems it was OPENGL... not sure why it was on that.. will change to direct3d and also modifiy my post above.

[DaForce]

OK, Here are both OPENGL and DIRECT3D results. Both run at 2560x1600

[jacksc02]

direct3d is a better result!

[DaForce]

and how!!

[flipside]

I think there is something wrong, my card is much cheaper (7600GT) and is roughly the same or even better than yours.

Maybe this one isn't with the correct textures. I also had to replace a lot of them, I found most of them in my old textures folder, but replaced 5 or 6 with other ones since I couldn't find them.

[DaForce]

Ok, well i have put my direct3d settings back to what I think is the default. Will upload what I have mine at so we can directly compare.

Some areas im much higher and some you are higher... weird.
I cant see how those other 8800 scores can be accurate.
Also you should really get all the exact textures.. use the link I posted they are all there.
