Benchmarks

Post by **mahlemiut** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 6:08 am

Thought that it might be interesting to compare benchmarks. Using the attached batch file will help too. (Change the -rompath parameter to match the location of your ROMs first, if needed)

It may also be useful to compare across versions too.

System specs:
Athlon XP 3000+ (2.17GHz)
1024MB RAM
128MB GeForceFX 5200
Windows XP Pro SP1
MAME 0.79 (Win32 console)

The speeds:
Pacman 1,725.26fps
Malzak 1,187.75fps
Double Dragon [ddragon] 207.70fps
Twinbee Yahhoo! 229.24fps
Stun Runner 146.77fps
Mr Driller 39.19fps
Tekken 65.05fps
Cotton 2 47.04fps (Boot up sequence is loads faster than the game here)

Ok, the previous MAME version I used was Athlon XP optimised, so here are benchmarks for a non-optimised 0.79u1 build.

pacman 1,591.21
malzak 1,116.73
ddragon 257.13
tbyahhoo 223.52
stunrun 137.60
mrdrillr 37.40
tekken 67.34
cotton2 44.52

mrdrillr: 26.49 fps
tekken: 44.80 fps
cotton2: 33.37 fps
invaders: 432.30 fps

Surprising how an Athlon XP2000+ is about a third the speed of an XP3000+ one.

It's in the command line window after you exit the game. You must of course run the batch file from the command line.

This is what I get, cut and pasted directly from the cmd window after the test. No sign of average fps

My list is updated for the standard 079b version, not Wolfmame.

del .\nvram\%1.nv
del .\cfg\%1.cfg
mame.exe %1 -norc -v -ftr 5000 -noafs -noswitchbpp -noswitchres -nothrottle -rdtsc -high_priority -skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo -noart -nomouse -nojoy -nogun -nosleep -nod3d -rompath c:\mame\roms;z:\roms

Just a thought, wouldn't it make sense to turn on -switchbpp and -switchres so that the benchmarks are run in the same screen mode for all?

I'm not sure what exactly you're doing Gaz, but first of all: start -> run -> cmd

Command.com is DOS emulation. Cmd.exe is the real NT command line.

Then go to your MAME dir and simply execute bench.bat.

LordGaz · Post by **LordGaz** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 12:43 pm

That's exactly what I was doing, anyway I've just downloaded mame079b from mame.net and it works. I was using Wolfmame even though it says MAME32 Plus! 0.79 in the version window Barry

. My list is updated for the standard version.

But you were using the GUI executable and not the command line .exe.

interesting how i get aproximate numbers for the slow games compared to gaz's2000 but the fast games i can kick the 2000's butt, might be the complexity of the higher end video card, but it must be something. i'll try in xp later.

EDIT **** stupid XP crap, can't even perform as good as 98. bull operating system "upgrade".

Seeing as the resolution/bpp isn't changed, it's probably worth mentioning what video mode you are using. I'm using 1024x768x32bpp.
