Goldeneye FPS question

[ddraigcymrae]

Hi,
Im playing Goldeneye with Jabo's D3D and it is quite playable but the fps seems to go down quite a lot at points. I have a fast rig: P4 3Ghz, 1Gig DDR3200 ram, Geforce5900 Ultra with most of the non essential background processes off.

I also noticed that I dont notice a difference with this at 640x480 or 1024 x 768, so it seems to be CPU bound?

Can anyone recommend the best plugin/settings for the best performance for Goldeneye?

Im also playing Perfect Dark and that seems faster, but I read that not all the graphics in Perfect Dark are being emulated (still looks great).

Do you have the service pack installed? If not and you are still uusin the Jabo 1.5 then you have the well known timing probs. Upgrade it and you shouldn't get any slowdown ore other errors...
BTW: with your great PC you could give Direct64 a try!

I will try Direct64 thanks.

For goldeneye use 1964 with rice's 5.6.0 plugin.

Well, unless you upgrade the processor, Goldeneye 007 probably won't be faster. Sad, but true, a Pentium 4 3.0 ghz probably isn't faster than an Athlon XP at 2.0 ghz .

With a Pentium 4, you would want at least a processor closer to 4 ghz or 3.5 ghz.

thanks,
I presume that 1964 supports nrage plugin so I can use my mouse?

are you serious? i got my athlon XP 1.9 ghz with the motherboard, nforce2 chipset for 80 bucks. i see those p4s upwards of 150 bucks (not even with HT). im so happy i got that deal.

I would't use Intel at all ! Want an Example ?

Compare -this-AMD CPU with -this- Intel CPU . Do you see the difference between them ? 100 Bucks

yup, you definetely get more bang for your buck. if i take off the price of the motherboard without the deal I got, I really paid 10 bucks for an AMD XP (barton core) 2600+. thats insanely cheap. without that awesome deal i got, its still 100 bucks less than an intel of equal power. youd think by now intel would lower prices but unfortunately they still have contracts with numerous computer companies (dell and such).
Intel= :ala:
AMD= :term:

Athlon 2600+ for 10$ ? Cool ! I managed it to OC it to 3200+ level , if you have a Mobo with automatic Multiplier unlocking , you could try OC'ing it , too ! If you success , you saved over 170$ But you need a mobo with Multi unlock + a cooling device which can keep the CPU at a decent temperature level . An Arctic cooling copper silent 2 is a very good choice !
But i paid 110 € for my 2600+

i dont know if i have multi-unlock(doubt it) but i can change the FSB to make it go to around 2.4 mhz, but it makes my computer unstable so I keep it at 333. thanks for the info, i will look into it and try to obtain a stable overclock. :alien2:

Dual Xeon Processors each at ~2.4 Ghz=4.8 Ghz??
How does they work together?!?

Most likley, not a lot of difference in a emulator, (or most games for that matter) They must be written to make use of multiple processors. Usually only high-end software will do this.

Still, the extra cache on a Xeon could be put to good use! :bouncy:

2 processors running at 2.4GHz apiece don't make for 4.8GHz. LOL (I use several dual processor machines at work (4 to be exact) and only certain applications really take advantage of them)

 

[BountyJedi]

hmm could that be somehow why my computer seems slow at times or so slower than it should cuz for seom wierd reson in the tasmanger performance tab it shows two proccesors but im running on a single p4 3.0ghz wonder why it is installed this wacky...
(well in other places it says its a p4 3.06 ghxz as it is but in omse places its wierd...)

both do not run when using a normal environment but once you get into the multitasking field both processors running different things may come close to double speed each, or so i think. i dont know much about it or how it works, its my dads computer that is wasted on some LAN connections for his work. he didnt even know it had that video card in it lain:. but a xeon is basically a p4 hypertreading with the ability to run in a multiprocessor environment.
