MSI 5900 256MB Ultra - Problem with Dusk Ultra Demo
Alright, basically my MSI 5900 Ultra (256MB) won't run the "enhanced" version of the Dusk Demo - The one for the FX 5900Ultras - with more than 5 fps in Quality mode and about 8 fps in High performace mode. Same problem with the "Last Chance Gas" Demo. Every other demo and benchmark runs great and clocks in righ where it should be expected but when I try to run the "last chance gas" and "Dawn Ultra" demos, the whole framerate performance goes dead. I've even had it overclocked to 490/916 while still running smooth and cool @ (54'C) - Thanks MSI for 3lbs of Copper! strapped to either side of the board .. bah .. bust still even with that it overclocked it still wont improve the performace of the Dusk Demo (Ultra version). It'll run the regular Dusk demo just fine. Seems like a memory bottleneck somewhere when the card tries to use ALL of its video mem.

What resolution and quality settings? AA? Aniso?
These are the latest and greatest demos that really test the hardware. My MSI FX5900 gets around 10fps I think at 1024x768, 4xAA, 8x Aniso.

How do you measure/display the fps in the demos. Mine plays the Ultra demos
quite smoothly, so I'm curious. "edde" wrote in message ... What resolution and quality settings? AA? Aniso? These are the latest and greatest demos that really test the hardware.

You're right. The ultra demos run quite smoothly on my 3.2Ghz FX5900Ultra.
I don't know how to measure the FPS. "John Lewis" wrote in message ...

OK, loaded FRAPS 2.0
I get the same readings at either 10x7 or 12x10 where I normally run Card Settings Image - Quality AA - 4x Ansi - 8x Dawn - 43fps Dawn Ultra - 22fps Gas Station - 17fps Vulcan - 19fps Ogre - 29fps "Timothy Drouillard" wrote in message ... Thanks. I'll try it. "Anders Albrechtsen" wrote in message k... "Timothy Drouillard" wrote in message ... How do you measure/display the fps in the demos.

If you are using multiple monitors try disabling the second one and
see how it runs then.
