Title: Test of new 3D engine.
Post by: Roly on May 17, 2006

Original post from Blitz Amateur, taken from the ezboard forum

After ages of being out of the game, I've whipped up a simple triangle rendering engine with z-buffering, and a full rotation/movement camera system. (Even though I locked the camera in this version)

I still need to implement z clipping however. My last routine to do that was clunky, and very slow. And buggy to boot. So I'll be thinking about how to do it differently so I can implement that.
If I'm lucky, it should be bugless. I spent a while making sure it worked flawlessly.

3D Engine Test (http://www.geocities.com/dantthegreat/3DTest.zip)

This should count up to 1064 triangles. On my laptop (400MHZ P3, 186 megs of RAM with a crappy video accelerator) I get 20 FPS.

It'd be really helpful to know what speeds everyone gets, thanks =)

System specs:
P4 3.0 GHZ, 510mb ram, Radeon X300 128mb.

Steady 58 fps. Nice one.

In the window mode Im getting 22-23 fps and my system is:

Nvidia FX5500 with 128Mb
Pentium4 3.66 Ghz

I'm getting 20 ~ 22 fps.

Specs:
P4 2.8Ghz 512Mb ram, Nvidia Gforce 6600GT 128MB video

Hmm, odd results. Not entirely unexpected. So, I compiled a fullscreen version to see if that helps anything.

3D Enginge Fullscreen Test ( I get the same results fullscreen as windowed )

Getting 38-43 fps here
AMD 1.2ghz ,512 ram, Radeon 9600 256 vram

With that fullscreen version i get between 43-47 fps.

And thats also using a different spec machine:
Pentium 4 1.50 Ghz and 512 MB Ram
Nvidia Vanta

fps flicks around a bit but seems to be around 76 for the most

amd @1.7GHz , 512Mb, Radeon 9600

fps 62-64fps

3Ghz, 512ram, Radeon X300

fps still same for me :(

The FPS rate is changing pretty rapidly and it's difficult to see but 66fps seems prominent and I'm sure it stretches as far as 80+. 

Both windowed and FS mode produce same rate.


Spec: Amd 2500+ (Barton), 512mb ram, Ge2 Ti

i tried it on the school computer - the old slow ones...
it does about 80fps at 1064 triangles.
hmm... specs: AMD Sempron Processor 2800+ (1.61GHz), 448MB RAM, Physical Address Extension.
dont know the graphics or video card.
dont have much time at school left - but i will try and use the new fasties to sample the speed!
nice!
