X3: Terran Conflict Rolling Demo

[Nov 05, 2008, 10:21 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A rolling demo for X3: Terran Conflict is now available, offering a look at the latest installment in EGOSOFT's space combat series. This should not be confused with a playable demo, as a rolling demo is non-interactive, offering the chance to see what the game looks like using the actual game engine. As such this rolling demo can also benchmark your system to show how it can handle running the game. The 422 MB download is available on AtomicGamer, ComputerGames.ro, FanGaming, FileFront, Gamer's Hell, and Strategy Informer. X3: Terran Conflict was released a couple of weeks ago, and can be purchased through Steam.

-------------------------- X3 - Terran Conflict -------------------------- Game Version: 1.2.0.0 Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236) DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Graphics Card Info: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS [640 MB] Driver: 6.14.0011.7824 CPU Info: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs) Usable System Memory: 2048 MB Video Settings During Benchmark: Screen Resolution: 1680 x 1050 * [32], fullscreen Using Shader Profile: 3.0 Antialias Mode: NONE Anisotropic Mode: NONE Graphics & Shader Settings: Texture Quality: high Shader Quality: high High Quality Bumpmaps: enabled Environment Mapping: enabled Glow Filter: enabled Ship Color Variations: enabled More Dynamic Lights: enabled Used Vertexsize: 40 bytes Framerates -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scene "Trade" 36.6 average fps 11.0 minimum fps 84.0 maximum fps Scene "Fight" 69.9 average fps 28.0 minimum fps 148.0 maximum fps Scene "Build" 61.3 average fps 40.0 minimum fps 86.0 maximum fps Scene "Think" 27.9 average fps 20.0 minimum fps 52.0 maximum fps Overall average framerate: 48.9 fps And if I'm not mistaken it's the damn Glow Filter with weapons fire that has ALWAYS been a nasty hit on framerates. Creston as X3:R was 'Your Game', how does TC stand up? Is the story continued or basically free form? Also how is base building in TC? In the previous version I just made a base and left it, and attempted once or twice to make one of the connected 'mega bases' but gave up being too much of a pita.
