Dark Void Benchmark

[Mithrandir]

Download it Here.

I'm just downloading now and hoping to give it a go later on.

Not keen on the game but I'll run through the benchmark and see what others get when I'm done downloading

[Ulti]

Here's my result:
Min FPS: 59.88
Avg FPS: 60.03

Using the rig on the left apart from my CPU is at 3.8Ghz and memory at 950mhz.

It's at 1280*1024 60Hz with everything on max and PhysX off as without a Nvidia card it lags the game like hell.

What the? Just download the demo and use FRAPS! The demo is almost the same size as the benchmark and at least with the demo you can see how the game plays.

Anyway, I tried the demo and I am getting sick of games made for consoles that are ported to the PC. This game was clearly made for use with a Xbox 360 controller.

Hardware:

P4@3GHz
4gb RAM
HD4670

Max everything apart from no PhysX. Surprised it ran that well tbh.

The game doesn't look any good just from the benchmark.

[Mithrandir]

I managed to get some time to run it and what a rubbish benchmark.

Ran with max settings Physx off on the Poseiden Magma rig.

Unless I've done something wrong, a Mithrandir's 9600GT gets better fps then my 4870X2

[Ulti]

Yeah, I found it odd that he had more than double the frame rates I had o.O

[matty-hodgson]

Well if nVidia are thrashing ATI in this benchmark, I might give this a try on my 8400GS, might give the 4870X2 a run for it's money :|

I'll run this on my GTX275 when it arrives on tuesday

[Ulti]

Min FPS ~40
Avg FPS ~50

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.5Ghz
2GB Corsair XMS2 RAM ~825Mhz
8600GT
1024*768
Everything on max again, PhysX turned off

Odd that I didn't get anywhere near similar results to Mith even on very low res.

I'll grab it tomorrow at work, and see what my 9800gtx can do.

[Terbinator]

This is some fudged benchmark. avg of 30FPS @ 1440*900 with PhysX on low, wouldn't let me get any higher even though its turned on in the nvidia control panel.

[Mithrandir]

I think nVidia gets better results due to ATi cards switching between 2D and 3D mode(and this benchy runs in a windowed mode)

[12GaugeShotty]

I'll add that the game doesn't even have multiplayer. It's a single player, play one time and it's over type of game. Not worth getting let alone benchmarking against. It uses the Unreal 3 engine so you can take a gander at how it's going to perform based upon other Unreal 3 engine using games.

Here's a spot of fun.
Atom 330
nvidia ion
2gb ddr2
windows 7

1280x1024, medium settings (I only changed the res) No physX
min fps 8.56
avg fps 10.35

1280x1024, medium settings (I only changed the res) Low physX
min fps 0.36
Avg fps 0.72
it was a shooty slide show.

EDIT: nvidia have remove PhysX from the latest drivers for the ION

With a HD5870 I am getting average and max of 60fps....even with vsync disabled within the demo....hmmmm

When I turn Physx on (8600GTS as secondary) the framerate goes to 40 max 28 average. So they are either hobbling physx when ATI card is primary (within the app for those of us who have hacked the driver check!) or an 8600GTS is too slow for the Physx to even be set at low.

If the amount of Physx its using needs that much power, I am wondering what it's doing because the differences I can spot between Physx on and off seems minimal....
