Just out of interest (due to a discussion I had lately):

How fast is the computer use to play Sauerbraten? Or more specifically is one of the big reason why you play Sauerbraten that it runs nicely on your low spec PC?

Contribute like this please (as an example my system):

------
OS: Kubuntu Linux
CPU: Core2duo @ 2Ghz
GPU: GeforceGO 7700 with 512MB
Mem: 2GB
Res: 1440x900

Reson for playing Sauerbraten: Runs on Linux and has a nice old school gameplay !
------

Please contribute as it would be really important for future development to know what the target hardware base of the core fan base is.

OS: Win XP
CPU: Athlon 1600+
GPU: Geforce 3 ti 500 64 MB
mem: 512 MB

Res 800*600 , Shader turned off (sauer doesn't handle 1.0 shaders).

Reason to play Sauerbraten:
Because I like the edit mode, I like the fps, and as SB is an opensource project, it gets better and better, unlike a commercial game that doesn't evolved anymore after one or two add-ons.

I have to update my specs just a little, because I just got a 22" monitor after a two week vacation, so I now play at 1680x1050.

Ok... enough epenis-ing.

This thread was started because I was argueing with Eihrul about MD5 support. Now that I won (YaY! :p ) there is really no point in keeping this thread alive.

I think it is interesting to see what everybody else is playing sauerbraten on. It should also help the developers understand where the majority of users lie in terms of hardware.

For some reason, sauerbraten always looks best on my oldest computer from 2001. Maybe it is the display or maybe it is optimization, but sauerbraten looks better on that old clunker than it does on any of my other much more powerful machines.

Hi:

Sauerbraten worked great on comps with nvidia cards, on anything else it didn't work for me. Well part of the reason is that i love nvidia, so everything else is crappy.

So:
1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo
GPU: Intel 965M
FPS: Perfect at 1280x800(laptop)
Problem: water effects: none! water is very crappy

2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64
GPU: Geforce 6150 M
FPS: perfect at 1280x800(laptop)

1.8 GHz AMD Sempron
GPU: Ati xpress 200
FPS: really crappy at any resolution(below 6 fps)

1.8 GHz AMD Sempron
GPU: geforce 8400 gs
FPS: perfect

2.2 GHz AMD Athlon
GPU: geforce 6200
FPS: perfect

I feel like posting my specs because I can.

CPU: Athlon 64 X2 3800+ running OC'ed @ 2.5GHz

Gfx: 8600GT w/ 512mb RAM
Soundcard: X-Fi XtremeMusic (sounds good enough using OSSv4 drivers on Linux, awesome on Windows)
OS'es: currently using Windows Pro x64 (my gaming OS) 'cause GRUB seems to have been overwritten and I can't boot into my Ubuntu 8.04 x64.
HDDs: 500Gb SATAII Maxtor...or Seagate... can't remember
160Gb IDE Maxtor, used for keeping all my valuable stuff (music, documents, photos, htdocs etc.)

#125: 3 computer specs

by D-TurboKiller (LT) on 08/17/2008 22:58

My Laptop (where I usually play):
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (NO, I do NOT have any problems with it, at all :)
CPU: Mobile DualCore Intel Pentium T2310, 1466 MHz (11 x 133)
GPU: Adaptador gráfico Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (320 MB) (Oh god it sucks for OpenGL)
Mem: 1GB
Res: 800x600

Reason for playing Sauerbraten: Runs very badly on Windows due to Intel's crappy OpenGL support, so the only reason for playing right now is CoopEdit. I wish we could have an option to switch to DirectX on Windows :/



PC:
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 1.7 GHz
GPU: NVidia Geforce FX 5200
Mem: 1GB
Res: 800x600

Reason for playing Sauerbraten: On this PC? Not unless my sister wants to play it :P



Dad's Laptop (the best):
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo, maybe 2 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeforceGO 7300 with 512MB
Mem: 1GB
Res: 800x600

Reason for playing Sauerbraten: Runs at a constant 50 FPS with most options maxed. And of course, the game is excellent :)

GPU: Intel GMA X3100 (Built-in)
MEM: 2GB
RES: 1280x800

I crank everything up and it runs really smoothly. I can't seem to turn on shaders however. I loose all textures and get a lot of image ripping on what does appear.

That\'s just sad, your Macbook out performs my MacBook Pro with an 8600m :/

It would seem Apple\'s nVidia drivers are no more than disguised software renderers!
