cmon guys....the ultimate benchmarks is this .."HEY i can play the game!"
S! |
Orpheus, how exactly do you think you are helping? Has Luthier asked people to post their Win 7 index scores? Nope. Do the specifications for the game include the index? Nope. I don't believe in 'conspiracies', but I do understand how marketing works. If you don't think that Microsoft has an interest in convincing you that you need new hardware, I'd suggest that your tinfoil hat is probably restricting blood flow to your brain...

Clearly you know jack about marketing, or you'd realise that releasing a program across literally hundreds of thousands of users worldwide isn't good marketing - it's just dumb. All the Win Index is, is an attempt to simplify benchmarking processes so even the casual users can understand it - not just mouthbreathing neckbeards in rooms filled with Linux books and dirty tissues. Given that it was a forum moderator that posted the OP, I figured it had a reasonable chance of helping Luthier & Co. I've said this several times now: Even if you lot think it's wrong, or an evil marketing tool, or you're convinced that your benchmarking program is so much better - save it for the other thread. Leave this one for people who actually want to contribute their settings and results, or you're just sh*tting it up for the rest of us. |
What a bunch of cocknobs.
As recommended on the first page, use Sisoft Sandra. The Rest of you: You kill this game. I Hope you are happy. |

I have 5.9 and half of what you have for a computer |
Most Test programs are not 100% due to the fact not everyone is a expert when it comes to computers Most likey people download the benchmark and run it and get a score and figure thats it and post it
When in fact they have other apps and processes open and running not knowing it effects your score Same with "bottlenecking" or conductivity of your connection host or how to set a high priority in process useage Even having nortons, Firewall etc on in the back ground is a big process and will effect a score Under cooling Cpu, Gpu. same Benchmarking websites if you take the time to read the post will tell you not to "just download and click" take the right steps most of the problems i seen on here have been people with higher end computers And my own two cents is that dual core works, Quad core works, and mid ranged Video cards works But everything starts to drop off when you get into the ATI 6xxx series and Nvid 480 areas and AMD 6 core Intell i-5 / i-7 Maybe the game being 7 years in the making started as a duel / quad core base and added more is hard work ..don't know not a programmer just say it as i see it ..I still hear and see alot of 1946 in CLOD |

From my first computer to the one i have now I read alot, Weeded out the post of people saying buy this and that and learned to take my own computer apart and knew what was compadable with what and how to optimize what i was working with not just the hardware. There are many free tools on websites that are virise free (checked daily) That can show you everything that is on your computer in detail and the temps there running on aswell as driver updaters, net connecton optimizers and scan for proformance problems....To me running a Benchmark score without knowing your computer first is unwise Because your getting results from a program thats based on your computer software/hardware running clean http://www.speedtest.net/result/1367486998.png |
Seriously I don't understand this thread at all, as it's been said a million times you cannot use win7 benchmark test as a viable way to make this game better for users..2 of the same machines would run this differently meaning it's a comnination of things that are causing problems..benchmarking will do little to help as already stated..
If you must use a BM program 3dMark Vantage or 11 would be adequate but I'm telling you now start a thread on that and get 50 people to test your better start a new forum cuz your need it.. Insane some of the things in here and I honestly thought we were smarter than that Il give you a clue too...it's called game code, it's called optimisation and lastly everysingle machine in here would probably have different programs running using resources and 1 resource on 1 machine would give you a different grade to the other machine with the same hardware.. Now please can we just forget about this topic now and take our tinpot foil things whatever it is you guys harp on about and help others in another way. S |

So - therefore I can conclude that the ones axing Windows Experience are right as it is to "crude" for high performance gaming - but the original initiative is right. I started a thread in the tech section where I tried to do a comparison between different combination on the same settings when I was upgrading, and if a lot of guys with different rigs did the exact same benchmark - in the actual game, we would get a small database where people could see how their rig would work in CloD, and the devs could see where there are problems with specific combinations? My old thread while upgrading where I tried to get all settings the same etc and compare my old rig and my new one, with and interesting twist of having the new GTX580 in my old Core2Duo rig which gave almost nothing... Did not expect that myself! http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=22448 The main problem is that when new patches arrive that improves performance, the old tests has to be re run... And that's where it gets tiresome. But if 25 of us regular posters here could rerun a test in "Black Death" with the exact same settings and resolution, I would be very interested to read that at least as a developer or buyer! |
That is all you would need to do to achieve a benchmark on specific hardware. My point is you would get different results on similar setups using the game as a benchmark due to it's performance issues which is obviously code related and how the engine handles that code.
I've tested this myself on 2 same computers, my old man has the same comp, even down to the case and cooling..the only thing different was the mouse ad keyboard and make of monitor (not resolution) and both produced different results with. +/- 10 Fps, so the only thing different would be programs running in BG though none were resource hogs.. People won't have barebone systems to run these sorts of tests so they wouldn't help in trying to isolate hardware issues.. You can benchmark your own system to determine what works best for you but to do any type of viable worthwhile benchmarking/testing whatever you want to call it would be futile giving: A/ The way the games engine is handling code (to put it simply) Inc memory issues and even if that wasn't the case you woulnt..... B/ Have a community with barebone systems willing to do such comprehensive tests |
