I can tell you Big Bang bar is running 50% less fps for me. 540 vs 548. I have Gtx 660 ti 3GB card. I also am running ledwiz forcefeedback.

 

Win Xp 32 SP 3 and 306.23 drivers

 

i5 CPU o/c to 4ghz

I ran a test with Big Bang Bar FS on my rig with several versions of VP. It made a big difference when I used this graphically intensive table to test.

 

VP 915 official release 160fps

VP 916 r540                 122fps

VP 916 r548                   83fps

 

The same options were used in each version. Not sure if this helps.

[toxie]

Okay, will test that one..

[toxie]

Also BBB is faster on my tests.. On all systems.. :/

[LoadedWeapon]

Yea I finally had time to run a few tests.. All test with NO FXAA, Ball shadows, Decals or Region Optimization....The only thing ON was Hardware Device Rendering, Region Updates, and Antialias Ball... All on Windows 7 64bit  i5 @4ghz, 8gb Mem, 560Ti... With dB2S screens..

[toxie]

Just out of interest (if you have time), what happens with region optimizations on?

[LoadedWeapon]

Done put it in the other post...

I also tried with Nitro Ground Shaker and this is the result:

 

VP915   and Rev540 Fps 205

Rev544 and Rev548 Fps 77

 

Thanks

Hmmmm.. That's all so super-weird.. How can this be so much slower for you guys and on 3 machines on my side always (slightly to moderately) faster on 99% of the tables?

 

[LoadedWeapon]

Yea I don't know its really weird.. looks like RO helps some. I use checkpoint as my main test table if I can play it smooth I know everything else will run great.. and even at 130fps its not perfect like I like. I don't like to see anything under 150fps. So 86 is just horrible

[luvthatapex]

Perhaps the options/OS you are using?

 

I'm using XP with no options except

* draw ball

* antialias

* hardware rendering on 915

 

and

 

* draw ball

* antialias

* hardware rendering

* region updates on the 916 builds.

No cause I get the same problems on windows 7

[VampyreLegion]

FYI...

I notice about 50 to 60 FPS different between the last three releases of vpinball.. version vpinball540 runs the fastest so far.

[fuzzel]

Please try out rev553 once it is available. I could reproduce the slow downs with LW3. I tested 544-552 but even 552 is a bit faster than 544 (around 10fps) its much slower than pre 544. With 553 I'm back to the speed of 540

[toxie]

Thanks, i'll provide a configurable solution for this problem (most likely) tomorrow then..

[toxie]

555 has this option in the new lightsource panel.. it helps (potential) artifacts when using dynamic objects (= balls, primitives & alpha ramps)..

[toxie]

557 adds some optimizations to primitives and 556 to alpha ramps, please test this, cause i'm not sure if i catched all kinds of cases.. thanks!

[bodydump]

You're a machine, Toxie.  Thanks for all your hard work making VP better.

[jpsalas]

Yes, thanks toxie & fuzzel! I'll test the new versions as soon as they are compiled.

[rob046]

I can't wait until this version becomes official.  Keep it up guys.
