Every so many months, run that same benchmark and you can easily see if your performance has been affected. You can just run a benchmark when you get all yo **** together. It either does nothing or improves performance. Knowing how the computer is doing and correcting any deficit (can't believe I can't think of a better word) is not necessary, but it doesn't hurt either.
But then again, maybe I'm just lucky when it comes to my PC as I have never ever broke anything from any of my PCs either.
Like I said, my PC's a mess and everything runs as they did when I got the rig (forgot to mention and thanks for pointing it, I NEVER uninstall previous drivers, I just install on top of them :O:). Proper maintenance is an integral part of running a gaming rig. Have to wait 'till the 6th, but expect some impressions after that.
Mind you I am guestimating 's not like I have some magical PS3 FPS tool, but the dip is definitely noticeable With only a couple of characters on the screen things aren't too bad, leaning towards the high 20's frame rate-wise, but when you're in a big battle or a crowd scene, things dip into the middle to high teens. Luckily the game had autosaved just before the battle started, but it was definitely more frustration than I needed.Ĭhugga Chugga Frame Rate: Dragon Age is a pretty game, but when it really starts moving, things get ugly. I wound up having to load a previous save in order to complete the game. BioWare suggested it was due to a monster I needed to kill falling through the world. Perhaps the biggest bug I encountered was during the final battle, when I simply could not progress. I also had issues with monsters dying and taking up to 30 seconds to register as dead, making me have to wait to loot bodies and in some cases delaying the completion of certain quests. On a few occasions the screen would glitch when a character was speaking, showing broken geometry instead of the person talking. Sound glitched frequently, leaving me watching a character's lips move while no words came. Some special combat animations were way off, with my character performing finishing blows in the air next to the boss I had just downed. In fact, my 60 or so hours in the game were plagued with annoying little glitches that, while not breaking the game completely, did hamper the experience. :-?ĭragon Age: Origins Review: Tripping The Blight Fantastic ()īugs Aplenty: My time with the PlayStation 3 version of Dragon Age was not without troubles. Keep in mind though it's the PS3 version, not surprised to hear about glitchy audio and low framerate. First review I saw nothing but positive comments, except 1) buggy 2) low framerate.
