So I recorded a game as aliens (I'm pretty bad) and wanted to know if you guys could play the demo and also record your benchmarks. No reason in particular just curious about performance across different PCs when it's the same game.
BUILD 239
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmnjgptx3p0wkjh/demo1
Anywhos, just drop the demo in C:/Users/(Your username)/AppData/Roaming/Natural Selection 2/
Then just open up ns2 and use the tilde key "~' to open up console and type "play demo1"
Of course have fraps open before you start ns2 and make sure you have a benchmarking hotkey. Then once the demo loads, and you are no longer in the ready room just hit the benchmark key and then hit it again when the game ends and you are in ready room. Then just graph your fps.csv in exel and post it here along with the frapslog info and system specs. PLEASE post a graph because that tells the most about performance as the game goes on. If you do not have excel just upload the fps.csv and I'll make it into a graph if you need it:
i7 920 @ 4.2 gHz, Gtx 480 Oc'd
1920x1200, Please leave all graphical settings on minimal/low. You can add a test on high if you feel like it.
The demo is about 25 minutes so just a warning. Use whatever settings you normally play with. It's pretty boring so just set fraps to record 25 or so minutes and then come back.

***Interesting to note, the demo was running in slow motion! My poor baby couldn't handle the graphics.

Would you mind posting a fraps graph? I'm interested since you have a pretty strong rig there.
I usually get 3 other files with the text file. Do you have the FPS checked under benchmark settings? You just open up the file that ends in fps.csv in excel and highlight the number values and then make a line graph. I could make a graph for you if you upload the fps.csv.
1) Done "play demo", it failed with saying "Couldn't download mod" or something like this - can't remember exactly.
2) Restart, turn-off all mods on my side. After "play demo" game freeze on "Downloading mods..."
3) Unsubscribed all mods, deleted every mod in Workshop folder. Game downloads mods but "play demo" fails with info "Server mod is out of date"
Game log attached.
Seems like you need to record one more demo without mods?
Did a mod just get updated or something? Because I was able to play your demo fine on Monday night. Sorry haven't been able to post my results.
Yea a mod did update. I liked the first one a lot better but I uploaded a second one from an un modded server if anyone wants to benchmark. Only Squishpoke posted a graph anyways so I figure it does not really need a new thread.
Oh cool I already removed the first demo since no one else can use it since the mods were updated so I replaced it with one that does not include any. But here are all the 3 graphs from the people that benchmarked the first test. Thanks in advance Squish for redoing it.
Sharp Shooter:

Squishpoke:

Me:

1920x1200 Everything on except ambient occlusion, texture streaming, and atmospherics.

1920x1080, windowed fullscreen, all graphics options to their minimum
Did the benchmark again with all options on their highest settings
Benchmarks by nature are based on some standard, like this demo and settings, becoming the baseline. This allows you to compare rigs and is the purpose behind a benchmark.
Everyone should test with the same settings.
I'll do both low and high settings.

I'm confused by your graph.
Your min says 34 yet the graph clearly shows you dipping under 20 at times. What's up with that?

There are 3 files created by fraps, and the biggest one only has one columm with many lines.
And there's no fps there. just frame and time (ms)
Frame, Time (ms)
1, 0.000
2, 4.487
3, 9.847
Those are the first three lines
This is how I do it:
Of course I use printscreen to cap the image and paint because idk how to extract the graph as an image in excel.
Indeed, that doesn't make much sense.
I just used Google docs, did a new spreadsheet, CTRL + A then a new Diagram. Rightklick (or button on top?) save as picture. So the lazyies way to do it, didn't even put infos for x-y-axis and title :-P
