Prophet_169th Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Is anyone running a new Intel Core 2 Duo CPU? The benchmarks are showing the lowest Core 2 Duo ahead of most AMD products. Wondering how well they handle LOMAC.

Wondering how well they handle LOMAC. Buddy...you read my mind.... I too wonder how this cpu could tackle LOMAC Wait.... Polecat has one! Ill harass him for a run down http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU
Gaizokubanou Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Shouldn't it run LOMAC better than any other cpus out there?
3Sqn_Fudd Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 ok..... i just talked to Polecat... he's getting DOUBLE the frames he used to... More from him later I'm sure! http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU
PoleCat Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Yes I am getting aproximately double the frames in beta, will check LOMAC now and report back average frame increase. I will post system specs as well. So far I like very much. Need to OC it soon and really see what it can do. Very high hopes! Out http://www.104thphoenix.com/
Pilotasso Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 A pertinent question: Double compared to what? .
Ukr_Alex Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 So LOMAC actually uses both cores? I dont know of a game yet that makes use of both cores. :Core2Duo @ 435FSB x 7 3.05GHz : ATI x1900xtx: 2GB Patriot @ 435Mhz : WD 250Gb UATA: Seagate 320Gb SATA2: X-Fi Platinum:
Gaizokubanou Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Well lomac doesn't have to use two cores I believe, because Core 2 is just way faster than other cpus.
33rd_bratpfanne. Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 detailed system specs from old and new machine would be interesting. Settings all maxed óut? What about FPS over big Cities with cockpit view all zoomed out ? (min fps is most interesting fo me. Over a City i go es low as 12 fps atm with all maxed except water=medium and view distance=medium) My Specs: AMD 3400+, 2GB Corsair, X800XT-PE "Helicopters can't fly; they're just so ugly the earth repels them." (THX Rich :thumbup: )
Maximus_G Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 detailed system specs from old and new machine would be interesting. Yup, i'm intrigued too. While waiting, there are some LO Core 2 tests at simhq, if someone missed them. http://www.simhq.com/_technology2/technology_090e.html
PoleCat Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Sorry for the slow response. I have everything set to high with heat blur on. I run 1024x768@150Hz 8x anis & 8x anti. Generally the average lowest frames I am seeing now are 23-25. In the cockpit at standard zoom straight ahead on tarmac I get 32fps. It is a very noticable difference so far. I am seeing a significant improvement in LOMAC frames but not as much as in some other sims. I am connecting my CPU Water block tommorow and will be using some DDR2 800 memory to OC.

Maximus_G Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 In the cockpit at standard zoom straight ahead on tarmac I get 32fps. .. I am seeing a significant improvement in LOMAC frames Can you say what fps you had at these conditions with the previous CPU?
