The monkey demo is top notch, great water effects, butterflies that looked like there should have been a pixie attached and the monkey seems a tad more realistic than the Bear!

Wow...Humus works pretty fast! :shock:

:D

ya, that chimp demo is the most amazing display of grapics running in real time that i have even seen.


it ran smooth and inbetween ~12 and ~30 fps on my rig with everything cranked in drivers, bit hard on the eyes watching a slideshow like that but it sure was beautiful.

It's highly optimised code, but I was *very* suprised at the speed nevertheless. They seem to be writing these demos for a target performance of ~30fps on a 9500/9600 non-Pro (with no FSAA).

I had 4xFSAA & 8xAF enabled when I started up the monkey demo and was about to restart it to change settings but to my suprise it ran pretty well! A constant 20-30fps I'd say.

Makes you wonder what a demo coded explicitly for a 9800 Ultra + high-end CPU would look like. :shock:

Looking at the Sushi.ini it would seem that it's just programmed for R300

It would be interesting to see the fps on an R350 then on a R300 with R350 drivers as from the results from TB it may not be that much.

ya, MuFu, like i siad i had everything cranked so i was realy makeing it sweat but it sure looked amazing. i turned the aa and af down a bit and it came out running very nice, playable framerate by all means. :D
