What GPU do you guys have? I have a nVidia GTX560M.
It can run 2m polygons in FPSC with water.

What do you have and tell me the ammount of polygons it can handle in FPSC.

Your signature has been erased by a mod; it needs to be no larger than 600x120.

Sapphire HD6850 and I'd honestly rather find out how well it works as a drum than use FPSC as a benchmarking tool.

Handles most of the things you can throw at it.

NVidia Quadro 3000M 2GB

Never used FPSC, but it runs Skyrim on max settings without any problems so it's good enough for me

Ancient GeForce 6200!!!! It still does exactly what I need it to do (I don't play games much anymore, so don't need it to play the latest games)!

[FUTURE REF: 430GT-1GB {desktop}]

Runs Battle Field 3 just about fine... {on mid settings - using it as base requirement for my future game developments also getting a 560Ti at some point or something near or beyond that...}

Intel GMA, lovely little thing can run Crysis at max...no wait it can't. :p But it can run Star Wars: The Old Republic at minimum setting, I was surprised to find it could even do that.

ati5870,1gb- deus ex3 fullhd/maxsetting constant 60+ (only actual game i have^^)

slayer, fps in fpsc not depends on polycount, it depends on how well you build up your level. you have to balance and select whats needed for your game and whats only blingbling. whats the mainprob with fpsc is physics and entity-calculation, not mass of polys.
gpu is not THAT important than CPU-power on a single core.
in some cases a 80.000 poly-map laggs on 12fps while a well-build 200.000 poly-map runs on 50fps.

ati5870: fpsc v119 20x20x20 fully used outdoor map (1700mb), 180.000 polys, 48fps with full enviroment, 12fps with 20+ enemies in sight, constant 30+ fps with max. 8 npc in fov. moderate/good lightmapping+postpro.

The GPU my desktop has an nVidia GT 430 chip. Its almost exactly the same as the stock card, except it has a heat sink as-well as the fan.

Not tried FPSC with it yet, but it works pretty well with anything I throw at it on medium settings, Skyrim, SR:3, GTa IV, etc...

Geforce GTX 560

works very well - BF3 on high settings (tried maxing out and got occational lag)

Skryim maxed out (even managed to pull off some AO stuff (not supported) with little lag)

Crysis 2 almost maxed out


Very good GPU card IMO

My 8800 GTS isn't co-operating so I'm using an integrated ATI HD Radeon 4250 that's about twice the speed of an Intel GMA 965 chipset.

Any modern midrange GPU can handle much more than anything FPSC can throw at it. Any FPSC limitations are going to be on the CPU gameplay related tasks (collision detection, entity logic, etc). Going from a modern midrange card to a high-end card will give little to no benefit in FPSC.

If you benchmark your 560 with FPSC using a tool like the EVGA Precision tool, you'll see that your GPU isn't even getting maxed out. The bottleneck isn't your 560.

AMD Radeon 6600M. Runs pretty much everything I throw at it. (Skyrim, Oblivion, Bulletstorm(with occasional lag), COD4, GTA4, Portal, Gmod, Borderlands, Pure, SR2 and 3, TF2(Low enemy count), Black Ops(with low shadows), and a complex level on FPSC). I'm satisfied with it so far, considering my last GPU (Nvidia GEForce 8000M) would run Oblivion on Very Low with lag, which was torture. lol

GTX560
Can run any game fine,
BF3 @ high no problem but drop quite dramatically on ultra,
Crysis 2 maxed with DX11 & High Res textures is fine,
RAGE has no FPS problems but the textures take a freaking long time to load.

Not the best but it's good enough for me, after suffering with integrated chipsets, this thing is a gift from the heavens.

Pencil and paper.

It can render infinite polygons, but it's not that fast.


More serious though:

I've got an ATI HD5470M. It could run most of my games at medium - high settings, though some games it couldn't run at all. I do have a GTX 560, which I got to use for about 6 hours, before my motherboard died. It ran Dead Rising 2 and Mirror's Edge at full settings, so I'm pleased with the card itself for the small amount of time I could use it.

ZOTAC AMP! GTX 560 1GB.

It runs way too hot unless I crank the fan up to 100%. Running all my games (Crysis 2 DX11, Deus Ex DX11, Mass Effect 3 Etc.) Pretty much perfectly.

Quote: "Any FPSC limitations are going to be on the CPU gameplay related tasks (collision detection, entity logic, etc)."


Makes sense. But most CPUs now a days should run through FPSC without much problems. A Quad core CPU should be more than enough yet FPSC still runs to a crawl for almost no reason...

Has no effect on FPSC since DBPro(the language that FPSC was made in) has no multithreading capability.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550Ti 2GB. Plenty of power for me, and my temps only rise to 40 degrees when a really heavy game(ME3) is running.

I've got an Intel 943GML(Callistoga)+ICH7-M and it shares upto 128Mb Ram... (Supports Intel GMA 950) Woo Hoo!!!

There... Also handles almost anything 'I' throw at it. Which is not much that will harm it. Got to be gentle you know...

yeah, lower numbers mean better fps!!! WLGfx wins hands down, my on board i5 HD2000 fails, the numbers are too high @800MHz

EDIT

And also it even shares over 4GB memory

Which is sad and should have multithreading capability. Perhaps that would improve performance?

I have a PC sitting here with an Intel 845G (or something like that). I think it supports 64MB max of shared video memory?

My computer has no dedicated GPU, just Intel HD Graphics. I hate it soooo much, it can't even run Minecraft decently...

Hence why I'm building my own computer that will eventually house a couple of dedicated GPUs.

Not quite, It's sitting here but isn't working (I think the motherboard died off or something as it won't power on) It's an old Dell Dimension 2400.

I remember those "Monsters" back then

I have two other video cards sitting here collecting dust:

1. XfX Nvidia Gefocre 8600 GT 1GB
2. EVGA Nvidia Gefocre 7800 GT 256MB

My mother has my old XfX Nvidia Gefocre 9800GTX+ 512MB.

The Nvidia GTX 680 cards are out. Anybody has or getting one or two of those ?

That'd be a bit difficult as it's a mobile card, but even if you get a 560, the HD6850 performs better for cheaper, especially overclocked.

Apple A5X

In my desktop I have some variation of the nVidia 260 I think. Used to be an 8800 but a friend of mine dumped his old card on me when he got a 400 series. Didn't really feel any different performance wise but most games still run at a solid ~60 fps. Probably the console oriented development that's keeping things in check - kind of refreshing to not have a computer that feels outdated a year later.
