Half-life 2 video stress test out today on steam

FluxCap · Aug 18, 2004

Just ran my benchmarks:

1280x960 4AA+8AF
All details high

79.66 avg fps. I guess I don't need an ATI card for HL2.

all that says is that its included with CS:S. no keyboard munching yet.

and furthermore here is why it will be released to everyone. CS:S has been pre-loaded for the majority of the testers who wanted it. so why would gabe delay the hl2 preload to save bandwidth if minimal bandwidth was to be used today? he delayed it because of the amount of traffic the benchmark is going to take up tonight.

ok, you can start eating now.

The second phase of the Counter-Strike: Source beta has opened and the game is now playable for owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and the ATI/HL2 bundle. During this limited-time beta, issues can be reported using the in-game bug-reporting tool. In addition any crashes will automatically generate a report back to Valve's bug database.

* COUNTER-STRIKE: SOURCE BETA CHANGES / ADDITIONS:
* Added new benchmark level
* Added command "net_start" to start networking without loading map
* Improved bullet penetration code
* Improved upper body player animation at low framerates
* Improved dedicated server behavior on level change
* Improved sniper scope zoom sound behavior
* Improved weapon sounds
* Improved weapon v_models
* Improved shadow behavior in de_dust tunnel
* Improved setmode antialiasing behavior in dx8
* Improved selected weapon sound behavior
* Addressed players flickering in de_dust tunnel
* Addressed sound stuttering behavior
* Addressed bomb target overlays flickering
* Increased blast impact on ragdolls
* Eliminated delay when someone can pick up a tossed weapon

So, I guess you don't know the benchmark is actually the HL2 engine and not a benchmark that runs inside CSS? Thought so.

joecuddles · Aug 18, 2004

So the benchmark is a timedemo from inside a HL2 level? Really?

Didn't think so.

Silverghost · Aug 18, 2004

neither did I

heh

Better than a level. It is inside the showcase for all the HL2 effects and shaders with a mixture from past E3 shows.

I am not sure why you guys don't believe me.

P4P800 Deluxe
1024mb Corsair PC3200
eVGA 6800GT

System is stock.

Just reran the benchmarks at 1600x1200 and I got 53 avg fps. About the same as Doom 3, not bad.

You guys are going to hate me since I never do screenshots and post them.

I will try one and put it on imageshack and post a link ASAP.

Edit: I took like 6 screenshots and it doesn't seem to write them to anywhere.

jhtevans · Aug 18, 2004

Just though I'd share my test results for 6800 Vanilla owners who were spooked by the benchmarks posted earlier tests. See my specs in sig.

1280x1024
Models: High
Textures: High
Water: All
Shadow: High
AA: 6x
AF: 4x
FPS = 60

Same, but AF: 16x, FPS = 56

DigitalEmperor · Aug 18, 2004

6800GT @ 400/1100 (rest of specs in signature) 61.77 drivers

52fps @ 1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF
78fps @ 1280x1024 4xAA/8xAF

EDIT: I just realized that there's AA/AF settings inside the game .. whoops .. I was using the default 6xAA 4xAF and then setting them in the driver .. dunno how accurate those are anymore.

doh-nut · Aug 18, 2004

anyone with 9800pros/9700 pros tried the bench yet?

yevaud · Aug 18, 2004

Enjoy! (go easy on my account) I think it .03 a kb for bandwidth.

the textures are quite high quality (and nice especially at 1600x1200 4AA8AF, with which I get 68.8fps on my x800xt

mr.fishie · Aug 19, 2004

Sorry guys that you have to register at HL2Insider, but I tried connecting to my FTP and it didn't work

Please don't hate me

Also, I have a 9800 Pro and I did the benchmark, see the very bottom of my CS:S page: http://www.subkamran.com/css.htm

DigitalEmperor · Aug 19, 2004

i have a 30sec wmv if someone wants to host it its only like a meg ... not the best of quality but gives the general gist of what it is

I disagree.

Glyphic · Aug 19, 2004

EDIT: whoops, I see valve screws the non cz owners/ voucher holders once again, bah bastards, sorry about that

DigitalEmperor · Aug 19, 2004

where is this VST for the masses then? so far i only see it with the latest CS:S beta build

And story, gameplay, object interaction is way better than Doom 3. These are compressed jpeg files. What do you expect.

doh-nut · Aug 19, 2004

the masses will get it, its just a matter of time
