Consolidated Timedemo thread

Post by **Cynips** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 8:03 am

At 1280x1024, High, 2xAA and Advanced setting at highest I get 53.24
while at 640x480, Low, No AA and Advanced settings at lowest I get 66.64,
so yes, it's relatively CPU dependent.

Athlon 64 3200+
1GB RAM

How is everyone doing the timedemo?

At first I was doing simply:

Code: Select all

timedemo demoname

This doesn't work however. I got pretty much 43-45 fps no matter how low or high I set my config.

Apparenyly you have to do:

playnettimedemo demoname

Can anyone comment on this more?

90fps
Low quality config 110 fov.

A64 4000+ @ 2.7Ghz

Quite the improvment.

MidnightQ4:

I ran the D|S-Syn-'s nettimedemo as follows:

I renamed the file to ggl.netdemo
I put the file in my demos folder under q4base
I started Q4.
Brought the console down.
typed playNetTimeDemo ggl.netdemo
Then waited to see the FPS's in the console.

ggl=34.77 fps
800x600 high quality

p4 2.2
geforce 6800 ultra @4x agp ( motherboard limited )
512 megs pc800 rdram

There are two types of demos, Demo and NetDemo. I have no clue what the difference is, however here is a quick timedemo I made

http://media.ggl.com/files/ggl-timedemo.zip

Extract that file, and put it in your "C:\Program Files\id Software\Quake 4\q4base\demos" directory. If you do not have that demos directory, create it and put this file there.

Next load up q4 and type "playNetTimeDemo ggl-timedemo.netdemo"

It's slow and will take a bit but when it's done you can check the console for the FPS #'s.

I got 60.

AMD 3200XP w/ 6800GT + 768MB RAM

The other 'Demo' type creates huge demo files and their timedemo actually pops up a box at the end giving you the info. I wonder if this NetDemo stuff is some sort of legacy timedemo that id software put in until people have no problems downloading a 90MB timedemo. Or a really huge Demo.

60.24

Yeah...this thread makes it quite apparent that it is, very much so, CPU based.

You'll always notice fluctuations in scores like this. It depends a lot on how well the system is maintained and how many apps and services are running in the background and taking up CPU resources.

And how picmiped, and if they really are running the settings they say..

Got another question, when you do a demo, where does it go on youre hard drive, cause i just did 2 demo when playing and i can't find them ???

Post by **jester!** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 4:00 am

In demos in your baseq4 folder, or whatever mod you where using.
