Title: Which levels have slow mo? Post by: fish99 on August 02, 2003, 12:18:25 am I am thinking about putting some laggy/slow mo levels in the RAM disk. Which levels do you think I should put in RAM disks. Pick from the official mods only. Thanks. :P

Title: Re:Which levels have slow mo? Post by: Brian on August 04, 2003, 06:18:47 pm An execellent thought!
Please, before you create RAM disk copies of the levels could you grab some figures for fps benchmarks? I'd like to glean some idea of exactly how this process might contribute to performance. Title: Re:Which levels have slow mo? Post by: Fish99 on August 04, 2003, 07:30:29 pm Shall do. I think it will increase performance. When I uprade from 4200 to 5400 to 7200rpm, I had a performance boost in each upgrade. However, since each level take so much space, I have to be specific. I have only 256 Mb ram to spare. So I am thinking about only putting the laggy level in the RAM disk.
Title: Re:Which levels have slow mo? Post by: +MOD+ Sivak on August 05, 2003, 04:51:32 pm What is the difference in having the files in the applications/ghost recon folder or having them in a RAM disk. I cant see what the diffirence , there from the same disk.... Unless im not on the right track.

Title: Re:Which levels have slow mo? Post by: +MOD+ Sivak on August 06, 2003, 02:44:52 pm After a bit of searching on the apple site. I found this article about RAM Disk. It seems that RAM disk improve performance. Its an OS 9 article but i guess its cool for OS X aslo.

I think the following have the worst frame-rate: C08 D02 D03 D04 M10 M13 M14 I will try to make a Ram disk and see if there is any improvement. Title: Re:Which levels have slow mo? Post by: S.p.i.d.e.r. on August 24, 2003, 06:45:35 pm If you're relying on a RAM disk, you're not going to get much of a performance improvement from anything.
Btw, RAM discs are not in OS X to my knowledge. |
