So, Smashman finished building his quadcore computer the other day, and to celebrate, I decided to make a VMF to see if he could compile it, and how long it took compared to my itty bitty Pentium 4.
He did not complete the compile.
So, a challenge to all you out there who wish to test their rigs against this beast of a VMF. I DARE YOU to download and compile, at normal settings with -staticproppolys -staticproplighting and -textureshadows. If you are truly insane, throw in -
final and -hdr as well.
The vmf can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/benchmarkCompile.vmf
A mirror to a .rar with the vmf is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1615325/benchmarkCompile.rar (courtesy of Steff0o)
If you do attempt to compile it, please post your computer specs, how long it took and what compile setting you chose.
Compile settings:
Fast : VVIS on fast, VRAD on fast.
Normal : VVIS on normal, VRAD on normal
Long : VRAD with -staticproppolys, -staticproplighting and -textureshadows
Extreme : Same as long, but with -final and -hdr.
A note about the map, it is a 16 sided sphere carved into a cube with another 16 sided sphere inside it. There are 6 camper van models, and 14 lights. All surfaces are lightmap scale 4.
People who have successfully completed this test on a non-fast setting:
Steff0o - Core i7 920 @2.6Ghz (8 cores), 01:31:43
People who have successfully completed this test on Fast:
StickZer0 - Pentium 4 2.8Ghz multithreaded, 05:02
Frozen - Phenom II X6 2.8Ghz processor, 01:33
Geit - Core i7 3.2Ghz, 00:50
Jimmy - Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz, 2:35
People who attempted and failed: (Fast not counted)
Smashman
StickZer0
Midget
WastedMeerkat
Grim Tuesday
Notable failures:
Smashman
People who fail:
Smashman
But wait! What if I can't compile this, or want a more reasonable benchmark upon which to test my processor?
