Title: Timedemo
Post by: gareth on January 31, 2007, 09:00:42 pm
I recorded some trem for a timedemo, to use as a benchmark. To run it follow these simple steps:

1. download http://g00gul.net/shots/timedemo1.dm_69 and place it in your demo folder - underneath the base folder in your trem installation, if the folder doesnt exist, create it.

2. open trem, using the settings you use to play it usually except be sure to set com_maxfps and r_swapinterval both to 0, open the console - usually press the key under the [esc] key.

3. type "timedemo 1" and hit enter.

4. type "demo timedemo1.dm_69" and hit enter.

5. the demo will run now, as fast as it can, wait for it to finish...

6. when it has finished, open the console and record the fps value it shows

7. post your fps along with your system spec and your trem settings in this thread.

That's why it was a note to MYSELF. I was talking for my case and for gareth case. And I see it's the same for you too. As for Ingar, well he doesn't need to push is GPU to the edge by activating AAx4 ;)

Edit : scratch what I said, game is probably CPU bound for Ingar too: he is running the 64bit binaries which have known performance problems compared to the 32bit binaries.

that table is just wrong.

-you cant compare clock speed across architectures
-you cant just add up clock speed on each core to get the "over up speed"

i agree that this timedemo is mainly cpu limited tho, afaict catalyc's core2duo is the fastest cpu, but his gfx is much less than some of the others, yet he he easily gets the highest fps. Not surprising tho, it is quake3.

Title: Timedemo
Post by: Ingar on February 01, 2007, 07:23:07 pm
Some interesting thoughts were posted so I did some more testing on the 32-bit vs 64-bit issue:
64bit: 3067 frames, 79.0 seconds: 38.8 fps
32bit: 3067 frames, 72.0 seconds: 42.6 fps

There is a notable difference but nothing to really complain about
(38fps is not bad anyway  :wink: )

Than I suddenly remembered these funny settings:
Code: [Select]
vm_cgame 2
vm_game 2
vm_ui 2

These force the game to use the .qvm's and ignore any the .so version (that would be .dll for windows users)

When we set these settings to 0 (to use the dll-version) the picture changes quite a bit:

64bit so
3067 frames, 65.2 seconds: 47.0 fps
32bit so
3067 frames, 69.0 seconds: 44.4 fps

The native version is the clear winner here.
Title: Timedemo
Post by: Stof on February 01, 2007, 09:44:21 pm
Mmmm, interesting. I tried the vm_ thing to use the .so version and got exactly the same performance with the 32bit version. Maybe I should compile again a 64bit version and test if I get some more performance like that

Hmm, seeing as you have one of the fastest gpus, yet your fps is only about twice as high as the fastest old gfx cards, it seems CPUs evolved far less.. AND the game is completely CPU bound. Which is a shame considering the speed of nowadays cheap <50-100 dollar graphic cards.

the biggest difference would probably come from rewriting the renderer to support VBOs.

When you start the demo it runs as fast as it can, the numbers you are given at the end are statistics.

3067 total frames in the demo (won't change for anyone)
56.6 seconds is the time it took to complete, lower is better
54.2 fps is your average frame rate throughout the demo, higher is better

This is like a makeshift benchmarking program for Tremulous.

I'm actually glad this has been revived, it's a cool project.

My results straight from my logfiles:
[10:21][47:59]3067 frames 42.8 seconds 71.7 fps 7.0/14.0/56.0/3.5 ms

on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit
with 4 GB RAM, not sure of my "rated" frequency
Intel Core2 Duo T9300 rated at 2.50 GHz
running GNOME 2.24.1 on kernel 2.6.27-7-generic

With the exception of not capping my FPS, I ran this demo just as I normally do. I did not try to free up any CPU/memory/IO resources. Bloom is off, snaps is 40, everything is pretty normal. My system's resolution is 1440 x 900, 50 Hz, and Tremulous runs in a window (r_mode == 7).

I will love to get comprehensive information on all of these so I can find trends; this looks interesting!

Edit: by "normal" I mean highest graphics, net, etc. settings.

If there were greater support for multi-threading I'm sure my score would be much, much higher; Probably over 100.
the biggest difference would probably come from rewriting the renderer to support VBOs.
Try (http://patches.mercenariesguild.net/index.php?getfile=994) it out.

1) you shouldn't be mixing two patches together like that, and
2) you should be submitting this to ioq3

Turning aniso/FSAA on or off doesn't make any difference.

That is odd, my first guess would be ram.  I didn't know ram could alter fps that much though.  So the onlything to assume is AMD does make shitty cpus :P

Look at the video cards. 6600GT versus 8800 GTS? The 8800 can smoke the 6600.

I tried out the VBO patch -- Doesn't apply for me. There was a decent amount of errors (mostly SSE conflicts, but I dealt with those). The issue I have right now is
Code: [Select]
src/renderer/tr_marks.c: In function ‘R_BoxSurfaces_r_sse’:
src/renderer/tr_marks.c:260: error: ‘v4fMZeroDotFive’ undeclared (first use in this function)
src/renderer/tr_marks.c:260: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
src/renderer/tr_marks.c:260: error: for each function it appears in.)
src/renderer/tr_marks.c: In function ‘R_MarkFragments_sse’:
src/renderer/tr_marks.c:507: error: ‘mixMask0001’ undeclared (first use in this function)
src/renderer/tr_marks.c:507: error: too few arguments to function ‘v4fMix’
src/renderer/tr_marks.c:512: error: too few arguments to function ‘v4fMix’
src/renderer/tr_marks.c:514: error: too few arguments to function ‘v4fMix’

src/renderer/tr_marks.c:609: error: ‘v4fMZeroDotFive’ undeclared (first use in this function)

v4fMZeroDotOne, v4fMZeroDotFive, and mixMask0001 aren't defined anywhere in the patch. Is the patch incomplete?

trem doesn't put any real load on the graphics card as long as it's not a geforce 2 or something.

Maybe not in the timedemo, which would explain why I had no change after upgrading gpu. But, ingame I now get 400 fps on some parts of some maps with same settings at which my old gpu would max out at 70-90 fps and I never go below the 76 fps I set except for on UNCREATION looking down the hall from humans base. But, at least the map Insanity gives me playable fps now ;-P

Is the timedemo code and the actual ingame code really working on the base of the same engine restrictions?

To me it seems like the timedemo is more CPU dependent whereas ingame it is more dependent on the GPU.

Imo, in game is still more dependant on CPU.

If you have an extremely nice card and a P2, expect shit fps, but if you have a nice E8500 and just a 64 mb integrated you'll still get nice fps.(not 400 but a good 60+ consistantly on atcs at least.)

Sure, forgot to include qsse.h and qsse.c again. The complete patch is on the patch tracker now.

If you want to test it on tremfusion, you should use this (http://www.tremfusion.net/forum/download/file.php?id=31) patch.
