darkplaces brings geforce 8800gt to its knees

[Mindf!3ldzX]

sorry, i forgot to say that i am running dpmod with the rtlight files along with the rygel "high quality" textures pack. i suppose the first thing to try would be to stop using rygel's textures, even though they are so pretty!

I'm going to test my machine on DarkPlaces w/ rygel's "high quality" texture pack, we'll see what I can do with it

Test to be conducted on...


AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ , MMX , 3DNow
( Cooled by an AMD64 X2 "Artic Cooler" )
1Gig Ram
ASUS Nvidia GeForce 8500GT which is....
Chipset
GPU GeForce 8500 GT
Core clock 600MHz
Stream Processors 16
Memory
Memory Clock 1400MHz
Memory Size 256MB
Memory Interface 128-bit
Memory Type GDDR3

I really never put DP to the fullest, but now that I've upgraded,
8800gt 512mb ddr2
Intel Core Duo 3.14ghz
2gigs ram
etc...

DP runs > 200fps at 1440x900x32bits native.. (vsync off)

all in all real-time shadows are cool for the tech side of it but the low poly of quake models makes it look funny, if not out of place. I like the real-time shadows for dynamic lights on all ents/bmodels though... DP is a modder's dream.
