Growler67 Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Saw over at the LOMAC forum that Microsoft has added LOMAC to the Game Advisor list. It will test your system against the theoretical minimum and recommended benchmarks and tell you where your system rates. Here's the link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/games/g...sor/default.asp I got an 888%. Quote
Yojimbo Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 (edited) i got 660% on my games sys - XP2200 with 512MB RAM + Radeon 9700Pro (did have backtground task running - forgot to turn it off) LOL got 17% on my workstation - Dual PIII 1.1Ghz with 2GB RAM + 3Dlabs Wildcat VP860 244% on my 1.8Ghz P4 Laptop with 512Mb RAM + Radeon 7200 Edited November 13, 2003 by Yojimbo Quote
Guest MrMudd Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 615% on the Wifes PC, 2ghz amd 512 ddr geforce 4 ti 4200 128mg 774% on mine. 2ghz amd 1 gig ddr ati radeon 9800 Pro 128 I think their recomendations are so far offthe mark its not even funny. I think my PC is the bare minimums. No doubt about it LOMAC is going to require a 3 GHZ pc 1 Gig of Fast memory and Kick ass card likethe Ati Radeon 9800 Pro. Quote
Seawolf Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Yeah this thing is based on the specs on the box, not what is actually required. 742% on mine. Same rig as MrMudd Athlon2400 (2Ghz) 1gb DDR PC333 Radeon 9700 Pro SB Audigy Quote
PG_Raptor Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 (edited) Heh, here's the school computer I'm on... Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1386MHz Graphics Card: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2/Pro Memory: 128 MB Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000 73%. I'll test mine when I get home, I dont' think it'll bee too much better, what with my 16 MB Vanta. Oh, and that same computer got 672% for FS2004 ;) I don't think so!

Growler67 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Posted November 13, 2003 Is it me or have my obserations been a bit skewed? It seems to like ATI products almost profusely. Only giving double digit ratings for most non-ATI vid cards isn't exactly what I would call an honest assesment. A little concerning, if you ask me. I know everyone wants to pimp their own product, but FAIR analysis is what I think most consumers want. Okay, you can say something or another is recomended, but to blast others because they are different......that's just not right. Maybe it's me. Quote
switch Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 (edited) 1043% for mine. (for Lo-Mac) 3.2Ghz P4 (800FSB) 1 Gig of Corsair DDR (400Mgz) Radeon 9700Pro 2 SATA hard drives Win 2k Pro (SP4) BTW, I hate those Microsoft machine analyzing routines! (I`ll leave it at that!)

spikey3 Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 774 for me... Athlon 2800+ Radeon 9700Pro Microsoft XP Quote
snapple2993 Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 (edited) Uh Oh, only 393 here. But I'm planning on a new vid card, and another 512 of ram. This game's gonna be sooooooooo worth it. Edit: s**t! Mudd are you serious about the 3ghz??? Edited November 14, 2003 by snapple2993 Quote
PG_Raptor Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Woohoo, only 67% on the home computer!!! I wonder how much it'd jump if I got me a 9500 Pro... Quote
snapple2993 Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Soooo, because I have and Nvidia card, they may have shorted me some points? Quote

So would 3D Mark with Nvidia banners all over it be fair analysis as well??lol ATI has the hot card right now so it makes sense that you would see ATI banners,etc all over the place. As far as the scores being lower for Nvidia cards? well the radeon cards are just better than what Nvidia has. I was a Nvidia user for years up until getting this radeon card and I could tell a huge difference after making the switch. Quote
Charlie Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 I have 443% I agree with Mudd. Their setting are WAY off. It is basing everything off of the minimum UBI set. I got a 443% with a GF3 card. 443% at the minimum settings in game maybe. Oh, and run Adaware after you do this as I got some nice spyware from it. Quote
PG_Raptor Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Oh, and run Adaware after you do this as I got some nice spyware from it. Will Zone Alarm work? Quote

Beer Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Interesting benchmark, anyone try stock then overclocking to see if there was any difference?
