The Framerate Analysis Thread part 2

Imo watching video analysis will always make it look worse than actually playing, I am telling you that for the most part the game runs quite smooth in gameplay.And whenever the framerate drops to 20-25ish it also manages to recover to 30 FPS pretty fast so its generally not noticeable during playing. OTOH it drops frames rather horribly in few cutscenes & goes on to run at that low framerate for another few of the seconds, this is where you mostly notice that the game is having frame drops. So the reviewers mentioning ME2 having smooth framerate is not surprising since it runs mostly like any other console game with decent Framerates.

P.S.[This game also has Object Motion Blur right ? if thats the case then it may be able to explain how it doesn't "feels" to be dropping framerates]

Yes both ME games have object motionblur shader.

Is it maybe time to have a sticky topic that has all the results and links, a la the framebuffers?

Wow, 30Hz for such a game is really something... by that I mean baffling.

No way in hell does ME1 gameplay average near 30fps. That's a ridiculous area to test in.

Thats what got my attention.

I was going to mention this, the ME I played wasn't anywhere close to maintaing a stable 30fps, it was a complete slideshow in battles and whilst using the Mako.

 

[nightshade]

Well after installing the game, it ran much better than before.
The improvements were pretty huge & quite remarkable...still 30FPS on avg is something which I ain't buying.

 

[Sigfried1977]

I have it installed as well. It's still stuttering pretty much constantly, even during non-combat situations. (and the more tense fights remained the same slide shows they were before installation)

Pre or post patch?

As PS360 has covered Bayonetta before, it's going to be post-patch.

Digital Foundry just released their ME2 analysis video which also contains ME1 framerate video for comparision.

Another interesting element is the removal of anti-aliasing. The first Mass Effect included Unreal Engine 3's somewhat selective 2x multi-sampling AA. It's selective in that it appears to be applied to edges midway through rendering the frame, so while some of the image gets edge-smoothing lots of it doesn't. You can see this in a range of UE3 games, Gears of War 2 being a standout example.

And here is 'Lens of Truth' framerate analysis of BFBC2 consoles. I assume they try to have same amount of players with both versions and in a full server but dunno.
