Soul Calibur - how fast with Your hardware

Can we quit the AMD>Intel bashing, please? :/

There is no naomi soul calibur, the arcade version was based on PSX hardware.

It's in Arcade mode, im pretty sure they all say 'insert coin' when like that.

As for the FPS, like I say its my laptop and its configured for work - not games.

16x anistropic filtering also slows it a bit, nice image quality though :)

Now I want to get home from work and post results from my games machine :bouncy:

Hmmm.....I was thinking the same thing - The textures look double the res when compared to the other shots - look at the winballs the timer - far. Notceably higher res. EXCEPT that I don't think it was ever released as an Arcade game based on DC hardware. I checked www.system16.com for information and its certainly not listed in either the SEGA Noami list here - http://www.system16.com/sega/hrdw_naomi_page4.html. It is however listed in the NAMCO page under System 12 (which bore no relationship to Noami aside from its Hitachi H8 co processor). Check it out here - http://www.system16.com/namco/hrdw_system12_page2.html#t3.

I've been looking a little and still haven't found a Naomi version of Soul Calibur. If some one knows different, please inform us all :)

Cheers,

Heh. Didn't I already post it? :p

Textures looking higher res on my shot is most probably due the fact I didnt compress the jpeg. Note its like 600k whereas everyone else's is a lot smaller, leading to bad quality.

Add to that the 16x Anistropic filtering and we might be some way to explaining why it looks so different.

As far as I know I have a standard copy of Soul Calibur (US version I think).

Actually, there was a Naomi based arcade Soul Calibur machine. But they were only released in japan and in very few quantities.

Ok,ok :p
I'm still wondering how "Strange" has better FPS than me on a 1700+, it just aint right, lol.
Maybe T-Bred core have more differens from Palomino than just 13Nm process... :p As you can see my 1700+ working with 40fps in SC... What about your FPS?
BTW - what kind of motherboard do you have?

Hmm - but your laptop P4 based and its really powerfull for laptop...
And your home results will be something like that:

That definately is NOT right. My cpu is overclocked to a 2000+, while yours is a 1700+. Unless you oc'd that 1700+ to like, 2.4ghz (which i HIGHLY doubt), there is no way it could happen.

Here's a shot of normal SC, Arcade mode with 8xAniso 8xFSAA. Notice the Insert Coin. :p

95% JPG compression, 513KB, looks basically perfect.

Strange: nope, no difference whatsoever, just 13u micron process and a lower vcore (like the Tualatin. :D).

thank guys for the suggestions

all of my drivers,and bios`s are completly up to date,

i have my radeon, on balanced setting, i just needed to press the "+" key as mentioned

i read enough about doing that, but never did it myself doh!

anyway it is working much better now thanks


here is a new shot, this one is not compressed as much as the other jpg i posted

Ok - THAT is the how fps should be on A64 ;)

Are you envy me? - see you are ;) But look at the facts(screens) - i make them in window with CPU-Z running, and you still can`t believe in it? - lol... And i see what you can`t believe what i o/c my CPU to 2.4Ghz - so what about this http://emutalk.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=14825&stc=1 he-he, don`t worry - you are not the 1st who can`t believe in such a thing ;)
BTW - maybe you playing from CD? - if so, try to play from cd image - fps will be better. And what moterboard you have at all???

Well, mine runs in slowmotion. Its almost always around 17/30 during fights. What're some tips to make it go faster (besides buying a new videocard) ? And how can I show/get my stats that you all might need to see? ^^;

I have it running at 800x600, fullscreen, with just about no programs running.

Thanks for that. I'll go a searching. My guess is the textures will be higher res....lets find out :)

I've no doubt you could hit at least 1.6GHz (simply change your FSB to 133.. most of the time no voltage upping required). Try in your bios changing the FSB to 133, if it doesn't boot, give it a bit more voltage until it does.. from there, try in increments of 3mhz or so, run chankast or something else intensive until you've reached your limit. I think if your Tualatin is a TB1 stepping you could probably hit 1.75-1.8GHz fairly easily (with some more voltage of course.. 1.75ghz = 1.75v, 1.8ghz = 1.8v. Strange coincedence, eh? :p

If your mobo's bios doesn't have VCore options for Tualatin, look for an update for it on Asus's site. Also, if you don't have good cooling, just run it at the highest stable you can without upping the vcore.

edit: can you post a cpu-z shot so I can see what stepping core you have?



here's a shot from cpu-z. alright, i'm gonna go see if i can mess around with the bios settings now. i'm sure i have pretty crappy cooling so i'll just up the fsb to 133...if i can.

edit: looks like my stepping revision is a ta1. that's not as good as tb1, right?

edit#2: looks like i can't change anything in my bios setting. i can only choose to ignore or monitor the vcore voltage, and i didn't see anything about fsb. this is my bios version by the way "ACPI BIOS Revision 1003LV". i don't know anything about this, but can i flash my bios to a new one?

edit#3: after searching around a bit looks like my crappy vaio model is protected from overclocking. do you know of any way to get around this?

Amd Xp 2000+

Chankast overclocked to 120% i got from 38 to 47 fps but the game feeling is all right!
no lagging combos, no delayed sound! run pretty OK!
