Performance rating on options screen
Posted: May 29th, 2010, 9:05 am
Just downloaded the demo and saw this rating in the options screen. Can anyone tell me what numbers I should be seeing here? I am currently running the demo on an i540 laptop with hybrid intel / nvidia 330m graphics and native resolution of 1600x900 (Windows 7 64bit professional) and I'm seeing red numbers in the full screen mode whether I'm running on dedicated or intel graphics.
Using DX 9 I get the following results:
In fullscreen mode, I see ~15 on 330m, which goes up to ~25 if I use intel graphics. In windowed mode the 330m delivers ~2-4 whilst the intel graphics show as ~15
These ratings (based on the colors assigned to them) seem high. What do the ratings mean in practice? Even running on intel graphics with a rating of 25 the graphics don't seem slow as such, so I was wondering if the performance rating is correctly reporting what it should be.
Also, what is the game loading up when a save game is loaded? My laptop is using an ssd drive setup, and I'm seeing several seconds needed to load a game which seems somewhat long.
