I get 75FPS up until 4x scaling and 60FPS at 5x scaling.
So clearly memory bandwith isn't the only limiting factor in this game, my card has ~120GB/s.
I also fiddled a bit with GSdx settings and the skipdraw hack at 1 gives a free performance boost
back to 75FPS. It also fixes the shadows
Hi there, have u taken in to account that DQ8 have very fluctuating FPS?, there are some places with high bandwidth demand like the monster arena, in the entrance near the bar is a high demanding area,(or the start of fights vs many mobs), and other places like the outside can be running like a charm even with a 5970, i know that because today i was cleaning my 580gtx and a one of the memory heatsinks of my accelero xtreme just fall down and sadly im out of G1 glue to paste it again ( and the lazy asses of the store doesn't have any
), so i run a little test with the 5970, what i mean is even a weak card like that one (weak for pcsx2 ) can make "good" fps at X4 and even x5 in some places, but others like the ones i mention above makes u fell the punch in the nuts xD.Maybe the best way to make the test is running the game in the same places, otherwise the results are going to be very subjectives xD.
And back to the memory bandwidth of the 680 i was reading somewhere (my browser history is a mess and i cant found it again, wen i found it i post it) that it is a bottle neck for the card, so it is not THAT good, maybe im wrong but for me the wise decision is wait for the next gen if u have a 580 and skip the 6xx series.
