Is the benchmark included in the full version of the demo or do I also have to download that seperately?
I really want to see how my 8600GTS handles this, its handled everything but Crysis on max so far. The card is a lot better than I ever expected considering how much hate the 8600 series gets.

You have to download them separately if you get them from Gamershell. And I agree about the 8600GTS. It's a lot better than people make it out to be. I loaned mine to a buddy and he was pretty blown away (going from an SLI 7600GT 512mb setup). He lost 3/4ths of his vram but gained a lot of fps.
I'd also like to know how an 8600GTS runs this demo if anyone here gives it a shot.

The benchmark is part of the demo it seems.

The screenshot didn't work for me (black screen) But I got an S rank with everything on Super High in DX10. Ran like butter. Only rarely dropped below 60fps on the second test. The other tests were over 100 except for the last one which was like 72 or something. This is at 1280x1024 2xMSAA, Super High, DX10.
Can't complain about that. And it looks amazing. Well done Capcom.

Man, I failed. I upped my resolution to my max (1440x900) and put Super High Textures and x2 AA... I got a D. I tried it out a bit on a lower resolution and it was running much better, but I had to go to work. I have an AMD Athlon Dual Core 4400+, 8600 GT OC and DirectX 10. I'm thinking about getting an 8800GT (not just for this, but in general), will it make much of a difference?

Not sure about the giant letter boxes at 1680x1050, but better than stretching I guess!
Anyone having problems using a PS2 controller in-game, here's the setup to get everything working swimmingly - when you're in-game just make sure you change the Taunt to RT as for some reason it binds it to the same button as Exceed.

Besides the technical novelty of ranking people's PCs with a benchmark, there's also a couple of huge benefits to having this kind of facility in a game demo:
1) Everyone can find out easily and quickly if the game will run well on their PC. Less people pirating the game because they are worried about performance (and never buy the game).
2) All the hardcore PC tech junkies will be downloading and playing this demo. With so many things that a PC gamer could choose to play, getting a feature like this in a demo is a great way to get better exposure for your upcoming game.
Capcom is showing a lot more savvy when it comes to marketing on the PC side than I think anyone could have imagined when they made their about-face on the platform about a year ago.

Can't wait to try it.
I should be able to pull off a rock solid 60 fps at 1360x768 with mild anti-aliasing, I'd imagine. Should look really good on either display (plasma or CRT).
What type of video card are you using?

Really? Lost Planet really saw a very minimal performance dip in DX10 mode and you received superior motion blur, better fur shading, and other improvements. I had assumed DMC4 would function in much the same fashion.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.

I clearly picked the wrong server. I too grabbed this from Gamershell. I'm on an OC3 connection, getting the demo at a smokin' 128kbps.. :/

8800gts 512, i was thinking it would be like lost planet in that high/super high shadows would only be available in dx10 and they killed performance in lost planet, but they certainly show up as in dx9 aswell, whether they actually work is another thing but i couldn't tell the difference between dx9 and 10 graphically, maybe i should look closer

Ok, im about to go get the PC wireless receiver for my Xbox 360 controller, one question, can you set the dead zone?
OK, that doesn't make sense. Their grading system seems flawed. 60 fps is as smooth as you'll need so increasing the score for going beyond it is worthless. That is the most consistent benchmark image I've seen yet. I'd imagine that the grade would actually INCREASE if he disabled vertical sync (allowing the framerate to go beyond 60 fps) yet it would look worse in action.

:lol So an S rating is only afforded to 100+fps - enabling VSync which limits the game to 60fps (obviously) is an automatic B.VicViper said:
Don't take that ranking to serious, guys. The numbers above with graphics settings you're comfortable with are what's important, not that big letter. Still a lovely (stylish?) idea, imo.

Capcom is wonderful this gen as a japanese developper. This engine is really great.
betweek 55 and 80fps on my C2D 2.66ghz, 2gb , and my old radeon x1950pro.
1360*768, msaa*2, everything on high (though why is it called high and not medium? coz there is low, high and very high. Makes no sense, should have been low medium high :lol)

Shit. I should have tried without vsync to see if I would get higher.
I got B on them both. It was rock solid 60 the entire time with everything on super high.

Very happy.
1280x1024 with 2xAA, everything on super high and it dipped under 60fps once (to 55fps, in the second segment). Was between 80 - 120fps most of the time.
Couldn't do a screencap with the printscreen key for some reason, but the run got an A.
I love the framework engine. What a turnaround from Capcom's last gen PC efforts. kudos.

Ran it this morning@1920x1200 with everything on super high and AA on highest setting 16xCQ IIRC on this:
e2160@2.35GHz
8800GTS 512
2gb RAM
Got a C but the lowest (second test) was 40fps at minimum. I'm fine with that. With a reasonable AA setting, it should give me 60fps no problem. I'll update later.

Was able to get around 60 fps constant through all the tests except the last one where it dipped down to the low 40s. Got Rank B. Still all kinds of awesome though. Looks really nice.
