Performance - Serious Sam: The Second Encounter
|
Performance under Serious Sam: The Second Encounter at 640x480x32 varied slightly with clock speed. The Satellite 1905-S277 was left performing at 39.2FPS, making the game playable but somewhat choppy in complex scenes. The desktop 1.6GHz Pentium 4 with the Radeon 7000 at the helm performed 18.6% faster. Note that the game tests were performed at the default quality setting with all textures and color depths pushed up to 32bit. This is different than the Extreme Quality setting we typically test desktop systems on since we though that the default quality setting would level the playing field while not bringing frame rates to a crawl.

The desktop systems in this test perform similarly. The Satellite 1905-S277 was left behind, however, due to the aforementioned reasons. The notebook was 7% slower than the desktop 1.3GHz system but 12.5% slower than the 1.6GHz one.

Performance really took a dive when the resolution was cranked up to 1024x768x32. It was interesting to see the desktop systems perform similarly with the exception of the 1.3GHz system which simply could not keep up. This allowed the Satellite 1905-S277 to come within 3.4% of the desktop 1.3GHz system although it still lagged far behind the 1.6GHz one.
