Re: DOSBox 0.74 CPU Benchmark (Quake)

Thanks for your results, guys. Even though I did put AIDA64 cpu info in the final screenshots, I was closing it, running demos, then opening it, taking screenshot, closing it, running next demo, etc, etc. Then it's not AIDA who's taken 10% of your CPU power, for example CPU-Z gets 7% fps on my …

So the displayed frequency in my screenshots, is what speed it is at, -at all times-, even if the dosbox window is in focus or not. I did however make sure to click on the window and make it in-focus for my later tests, the 3-each with screenshots. Focus on the game's windows has to be not only for …

The earlier tests (The first one I had listed) was with tons of background crap running (Chrome, fraps, AIDA64, download managers, steam, chat clients, trillian, mirc, etc.) GeorgeMan had similar miracle above, - loss of ~10% with cleaner memory. For example, if AIDA had no opened window previously …

New run Thanks for new run. You mentioned 2.9 GHz, but as I've understood you intended to run the CPU at standard frequency 2.8. I've written standard frequency 2.8 as results are same as at slower CPU, so I conceded that frequency 2.9 could be incorrectly shown somewhere. You may check the …

Thanks all for your results. Actually I disabled ethernet, did a restart, closed them but the FPS in all tests were ~10% lower. Interesting. If in your experiments with applications having a negative load you'll get a higher fps, then feel free to post new results. Meanwhile I'll use the current …

CPU mostly stayed at 3.9 GHz with some dips down to 3.8 GHz. <...> Let me know if you need more information from me, or if you want me to rerun with different settings. If during measuring in demos there existed some monitoring GHz application like CPU-Z, then without this application your fps may …

Timedemo 1: 23.8 Timedemo 2: 36.3 Timedemo 3: 46.3 Thanks, but your results look as not valid. As fps look strange, - so it's required to follow the described testing process accurately. If you have run 3 different demos: it's needed to run demo1 for 3 times by a command "timedemo demo1" and then …

Some of the bug fixes in here are quite significant, especially the aspect correction, which has been improved greatly from 0.74. You must understand that DOS games were meant to be played on a 4:3 monitor, not a 16:9 monitor as is the standard today. Aspect correction is needed because pixels at …

1) When run with -noconsole command the DOSBox creates stderr.txt, stdout.txt The offer is to make a switch/option to turn off creating of these files. Or to set absence of these files by default (when run with -noconsole) and then a switch/option to turn them on for those who needs them. 2) Many …

Tried the latest EmuCR build, managed to get a whopping 1 frame per second more 35fps SVN 3914 gave me same fps. And ykhwong's gave same after set video options as 0.74 defaults. I'd rather keep my money for when truly significant CPUs arrive and DDR4 becomes mainstream. While I'm waiting for new …

No, I overclocked it to 4GHz and disabled Turbo. My OS is the same as above, Win 8.1 x64. Thank you. I wonder if the latest SVN builds improve perfomance somewhat, might be cool to give that a try. Not a bad source about CPU for games is thg . According to a chart I saw for GTA 5, for additional $ …

I got an 8320 yesterday, by default it scores 31.5fps. Pushing it to 8350 levels (4GHz), it manages to score 34fps 4 GHz is its turbo mode (current frequency should to show something like cpu-z). You've got 34 fps on overclocked (and hence maybe at turbo > 4 GHz) or on standard base frequency 3.5 …

Re: Quake SB16 no sound in DOS

Posted on 2015-05-13, 14:44

in DOS
If sound in w9x works and other DOS games work with your settings of card like base, irq, dma then try other Quake install files. If other games don't work too, then check your card's settings: base, irq and dma in device manager of win 9x. Maybe there are conflicts with other devices with settings …

I solved my problem with this batch Your .bat makes in essence what did my variant for random .ext, while yours have additonal disk writes and hence should be slower. I see no advantage of it and have no idea what you've found wrong with my solution. But I'm glad then even worse code satisfies. Was …

leileilol Your offers do not make the benchmark meaningfuly easier or more comfortable for a single tester. upd: I've added some automation commands in case someone will want to spare a couple of clickings and have additional messing with files.

You should also use fulldouble=false It's by default and does not affect window mode. SDL video output can be a bottleneck and affect Dosbox CPU cycle controller. Mentioned "bottleneck" exists on every system, is minor and using frameskip would change the proportions between performances in not …

Does ¨copy %~f1 c:\app\somefile.ext¨ stands for ¨copy example.ext selected in its path in c:\app\ and rename it in somefile.ext? Yes. If so can I write ¨copy %~f1 c:\app\*.*¨ to copy in c:\app\ the same file This way it will copy .ext file to c:\app\, but will not rename it. So instead of only 1 …

would be much easier to start Quake with this quake +vid_mode 13 +viewsize 100 +timedemo demo1 Everything besides video mode must be as default. If default viewsize is not 100 then it's not appropriate, and in other case it's redundant. Also, your offer is not significantly easier for a single game …
