Widescreen Gaming Forum

thank you, i appreciate that the three hours i lost digging into games runtime weren't lost

take your times with the game.. i read so much opinions in other forums and sincerely, i understand less than before
btw it's dark night here.. see you tomorrow

I used FRAPS to run a 6 minute benchmark on the game and the framerate is both higher and more consistent in 64-bit mode versus 32-bit mode.

When I was walking around Wellspring 64-bit mode was rock solid at 60 FPS but 32-bit mode dipped down to 38 FPS at one point (can't remember what happened though).

In racing mode the average FPS was about 53 FPS with the minimum being about 45 FPS and the maximum being about 55 FPS when playing in 64-bit mode. In racing mode the average FPS was about 45 FPS with the minimum being about 30 FPS and the maximum being about 56 FPS when playing in 32-bit mode.

All settings were maxed with an eyefinity resolution of 6048x1080 and V-Synch was set to "On". I usually only turn off V-Synch if the game runs so well that it just stays maxed out at 60 FPS.

The in-game benchmark tool gives 64-bit mode a score of 108 and the 32-bit mode a score of 67.

any changes related to texture pop-up and streaming?

The only assessment I can make is that texture pop in/streaming is barely noticeable in 64-bit mode and it is noticeably slower in 32-bit mode. So 64-bit mode definitely improves the experience.
