Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / November 2004Half Life 2 - Video stress test - good frame rate? or not
Did you take the video stree test in Half Life 2? It reminded me of a ride, the haunted Mansion at Disney Land. Anyway, I got a frame rate of 57.86. Is that average I don't know?

Its actually a decent FramRate. I have mines up at 98, but to be honest you probably wouldnt see a difference between the two. G. > Did you take the video stree test in Half Life 2?

I wondered how long it would be before someone recited this nonfact.. Well, to be fair the usual 'nonfact' is 25fps.

It's partially true; although the human eye doesn't really have a frequency ~25 Hz is about the lowest you can get away with and still not look choppy.

I used to play CS on a 56k modem (Pre 1100 netcode), and had no choice but to set fps_modem 30 .. I got along fine with the game running at 30fps, and in fact, I think my AWP'ing l33tsk1llz were far better back then than they are now i have broadband :-) .. but if someone tried to make me play a game at 30fps nowadays, i think i'd gag!

It shows clearly several points I've seen mention of in usenet for a few years. It also explains some of the reasons those points are valid :) McG. Good one! >>http://web.archive.org/web/20030413181729/http://www.penstarsys.com/editor/30v60 /30v60p1.htm >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > reasons those points are valid :) > McG. Good one! Yup, good article. None of it comes as any revelation to anyone who has ever had to play with 30fps in counter-strike, or look at a computer screen where the refresh rate in windows is 60hz. :-) SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench Today's episode is brought to you by the word "patience", the letter "lambda", and the number two ;-) >>>>> Did you take the video stree test in Half Life 2?

Launch Counter Strike from your wonderful Steam APP, and then it should be one of the main options within the game. Gary.

Guess it's cool for tweaking your machine though. I get ~72fps at 1024*768 with everything on high except - water = reflect world, AA = 6 & AF = 8. 3Ghz P4 Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB 1024MB RAM Using the latest omega drivers which are based on the 4.10 betas. I guess I should try out those 'magic' new ATI ones sometime. > The stress test isn't good for machine comparison, because it doesn't force > a graphic standard.

Not usually one for comparing results like this cos it don't mean squat when you're being shot to hell by the combine but was pleasantly surprised when I ran the test for the first time at 1600 x 1200 with everything turned upto the max = 84fps :) That'll do! lol 3.6ghz LGA775 2gb DDR2 Ram X800XT PCI-E Mind you I can still remember HL2 having a couple of minor stutters once or twice. If we carry on like this it'll probably end in some macho bull and us getting our dicks out to measure...

And I bet the game runs great on your PC too? Nick |
