Sure, I'll bite. I run Prey at max settings, 1440x900x32, 16HQAA, 2xFSAA
vync OFF

Results:Pretty retarded that they'd not post a timedemo. which is what i expected. Screw installing that crap.

but anywho the lowest i saw my framerate drop to was 25fps. and only in one place..

Specs:
ATI x1900 AIW 256mb SM 3.0
2x1gb OCZ EL Platinum @460mhz 2.5,5,3,5,T1

DFI Lanparty Ultra-D nForce4
2x250gb WD HDD EIDE

Coolermaster Cent. 5 case.
Acer 19" WS

This closly matches the settings that I actually play Prey at:

There should be an option to run the demo 3 times. The first time it really stutters. Also, I noticed that the prey demo actually feels smoother then the full retail version. Anyone know why this is ?

[rfisher983]

Rebooted computer and ran again today, there was no stuttering so the score was higher...

yeah, when I run this program it just sits there and does nothing...bummer

[Quason]

Bah. "Please install the retail version of Prey."

Must be because I bought and d/led Prey from Triton. Maybe I'll be able to run this later on when offline play is enabled.

[rfisher983]

PCJunky - what are your ram timings... Plus I dont think prey supports sli and the memory timings for your gpu ram are lower

[rfisher983]

I thought my cpu and ram were my bottle neck... Guess its my GPU ?

you try rebooting ? Lower the resolution from 1024x768 to 640x480. See if your video card is bottle necking you. Put Anisotropic filtering at 0x

Ram timings are pretty relaxed at the moment 3,4,4,9 should be 3,4,3,8 at 250 MHz in SPD, but not had time to 'fiddle' yet.
Driver is supposed to support @Prey Demo', and as it's based on Doom3 engine (I think !?!) shouldn't it support SLi
Apart from CPU, RAM & FSB, everything else is stock speed/settings.
Looks good, and plays super smooth at 1280x1024 4xA 8xAA

Results just seem below par compared to others, I've tried reboots and multiple runs, but the results are always the same - ho hum...

I never posted mine when I benchmarked, so here it is. I benchmarked with the highest settings possible, but with FSAA turned off because it wasn't needed at 1280x1024.

I play at 1024x768, and seems to run well enough for me. Also dunno why it didn't put anything about my vid card or other info ppl have. Vid is eVGA 6200 w/256MB, and ram is 400Mhz.

[Phayzon]

Will do this when im at home. My score should be extremely close to Yatta's

[Circus]

Hmm, After I installed this and used it I thought everything was fine!

Later I try to play MP and did not see any servers so I thought the master may have went down?

Looked in my base folder to see that my autoexec.cfg was gone?

So anyway made a new autoexec with the masterserver address and then try again and still no luck.

Did a system restore to just before install of this benchmark program and reboot and then go to see all is fine in the master server browser so?

I dont know if the master went down for awhile or if this benchmark program messed up my base but I think it deleted my autoexec.cfg for sure!

On both my server PC and my client side PC I had to do a system restore to before install of this benchmark in order to see the master server browser again or to run my server to get a heartbeat! Also had to re enter my key?

So far, on my system this game is very smooth. Using onboard Realtec ALC882 sound chip with no problems.

[mathesar]

To make my results more 'legit' I decided to take a screenshot instead of typing in my results,I ran the benchmark with the settings I played through the game with, in case anyone was wondering I used a custom res due to my monitor being 16:10 aspect ratio:
