Soul Calibur - how fast with Your hardware

[posty_2k3]

Soul Calibur now reaches about ~36/60 FPS in chanka now thanks to cooliscool helpin me overclock it (yes, i got it to 144 )

Hi guys, my first post here.

Running Soul Calibur perfectly at the moment, fullscreen 1280 * 1024 res with no noticable hit on FPS.

I just have one small problem, it appears as if all the character protraits are corrupted. You can make out what they are but the colours are all mashed up.

I have tried changing the two ZWrite settings to both on, each on or none at all with no noticable effect.

Also tried varying resolutions, wondowed/fullscreen and different desktop bit depths but nothing seems to fix it.

Is this a common problem?

[edit] I see the compatability list says vs screen is glitchy, is this what I'm experiencing?

My specs in case you need them for trouble shooting:

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ (Barton Core 400mhz FSB)
Abit NF7-s (Revision 2) Mobo
1 Gig Corsair Twin-X PC3200
GeForce FX 5950 Ultra (256meg)

All using a fully updated Windows XP pro with every driver bang up to date (no beta drivers, just latest official).

Thanks in advance

Dont worry - its emulator bug...

 

[Mant0r]

Great, thats all I need to know.

Many thanks

Hm Strange I wonder how it's possible that you're running Soul Calibur faster than Posty at 1700+ when his is overclocked to 2000+.

Hmm? I suppose you chose the simplest levels of the two games on purpose.. higher fps. :\

 

[Strange]

*Sigh...
Don`t make me laugh - I have the T-Bred one and he - Palomino one... And what about posty`s motherboard?
BTW if you want i can especially for you d/c my CPU again and make screens on other(any what you want) level.
And again whats the reason for me to lie?! I have damn 70fps in SC with my cpu.

 

[cooliscool]

There's no difference between a T-Bred and Palomino except for being on an 0.13u micron process, which doesn't equal out to more speed.

Post some shots in Nightmare's level.. in a window with CPUz showing with it.. not to be an ass about things though, lets not let something like this piss eachother off, lets just have fun, ok?

 

[Strange]

Whatever...
And how i can make shots with CPU-Z - i`m playing in fullscreen mode, in window games sometimes runs slower.

 

[cooliscool]

See.. you're letting it get to you.. cmon man, it's no big deal. It's all about having fun.

Anyway, if you feel like comparing it doesn't matter to me, take it in fullscreen if you'd like..

 

[Strange]

Ok, ok, maybe make in window too...
* going to d/c...
BTW which one is Nightmare`s level? - i have damn russian version...

 

[cooliscool]

Hm lemme get a shot, brb.

 

[cooliscool]

City of Water.. you can tell from the shot. Just go to practice and choose it.

Actually it's Siegfried's level.. oh well.

 

[Strange]

lol =) Ok.

 

[Strange]

Allright - here is the 2(big) shots - same 40fps... Maybe Posty should try o/c SH4 to 115 too?
Hmm - any other wishes or should i o/c my CPU?

 

[SHTwo]

here is a shot from mine, full screen 1024x768

the game runs nice and smooth for me

still only getting 35fps

 

[cooliscool]

Overclock your SH-4 to 115 to make it run at xx/60. Currently you're running at xx/30, which is why it won't go any faster. With your system you will hit way over that with the SH-4 OCed.

 

[mezkal]

Ohh so OC'ng the SH4 changes the ceiling limit of Chankast? Wow I never knew that. COOOL!

 

[Strange]

Only 35fps on A64?!?!?!? WTF? People with A64 have 65-70fps as me... Try to update motherboard drivers os something else... Also try o/c SH4 to 115 with "+" button...
BTW try to enable FSAA - you will get big quality improvement...

 

[Mant0r]

Just ran Chankast on my laptop for the fist time:

Graphics Card is a Mobile ATI Radeon 9600 Pro.

Nothing really to brag about, but I'll post it for comparison's sake.

Will post results from my main machine when I'm home from work

What is the version of this SC??? Naomi? *looking at the "insert coin" *
Mreh - such a low fps on P4...
