This thread is a real pain to read... so thanks linux, thanks cider, thanks Steve, and fellow CCP devs.
now some testing results :
Machine : MacPro 1.1 (4x2.66) / 6GB Ram (2x2 4x512) / Nvidia 8800GT / Os 10.5.6 Fr / Eve and Eve2 on 3band raid HD / 2x CinemaDisplay 23"
Setup :
- Eve Premium enabled : Quality High
Cache size : Extreme 512Mb
Hdr : Disabled (will explain why later)
Audio Hardware : Enabled
Resolution : 1920x1200 windowed (with big bars =) by defalult)
- Entering game as Commander Excelsior : (Drake & Raven)
- Docked FPS : 80 -100
In Space FPS : 40-70
near a Stargate : 40fps
In warp : 40 - 50 fps
In Mission L4 pocket : (serpentis extravaganzza 1st pocket 20fps (haze and more) Black Raven in L4
In Mission L4 Combat pocket : minimum seen : 15fps. maxing out zoom : 23fps
- Bugs Known : Ship textures randomly go black : SO FANCY ! i love my black stealth Rokh !!!! it rocks like KITT !
Wrong textures (like in classic mode) Warp : Fleeing Drake solution : change resolution
Wrong Shield booster/hardeners : 39,0¦C upsidedown ;) solution : change resolution
Missing Alpha layer : Target icons (when they're not black) cloaked NPC :D
Cloaking : Sometimes it doesn't cloak. (already decloaked after jump) : no screenshot, eve's too fast for me now
Hanging Fps at stargate Arrival (loading) : No. (not a bug of course) approaching stargate
Misloved Federation Navy station : it happens (almost stations are great thus)
- Hardware Monitoring :
- With smcFanControl disabled :
Cpu at 40¦C
Gpu at 80-82¦c (max limit hardware 85¦C) (there aren't gpu monitor on mac, but i know the sound of my 8800 tiny fan does at high temp, thanks to rivatuner on windows
Memory : ECC fine, 70-80¦C (80¦ starts CPU fan run faster. never go higher than 81¦c)
- 2 Client running : Way too hot
Smc enabled for 2 clients : 1200rpm for pci bay.
Gpu under 80¦
- Memory Usage :
1 client starting : 500MB.
After 1hour of market surfing, fitting, docking, undocking, warping missioning : 1Gb to 1.4Gb memory usage
Memory limit (whole system crash, => hard reboot) 1.40Gb
- 2 clients sum up : Running in 1920x1200, premium online
Max memory usage : 900-1200Mb by each client. no crash so far (1h playing, gone in serpentis extravaganza). With safari, and basic operation like window server it left 600Mb out of 6Gb(memory leak?). screen 1 ----- screen 2 with mem usage
Average FPS : (fps aren't very stable, compared to 1 client) 15-20 in missions, 30-60 docked.
New Bug : Some time it hang on, very very laggy (like 1 or 2 fps every 3 secs) solution : change resolution back and forth.
So mainly Alpha layers and memory leak bugs. Great job. I remember Casqade telling us on os x channel : "Premium is a piece of leading technology". it seems like he was right.
Continuing my investigations another day. Have to pass by deltole.
We're proud and glad to test such a big work.
Note : Disabled HighDefRendering coz it doesn't decrease my fps, BUT highly increase temperature and stress my gpu to the death.
