Unless SFIV can run at 640x480 and has mappable controls,  I'm not buyin.  Anyone know if the controls can be mapped?   I guess I could go up to 800x600 on my cab,  but that's pushing it with the stardard res monitor.

FYI: The benchmark lets you drop to 640x480!   I think the game may also... now if only it would allow mapable controls!

I would be shocked if control mappings are not changeable...  that's a pretty standard feature on PC games.

The benchmark lets you take it down to 640x480 so that's a non-issue.  As far as mappable controls are concerned....  we'll know on July the 7th but I can't possibly imagine that they wouldn't be.

Strangely,  I can run the benchmark on my system... and it's fluid as all hell,  but it says 0.0 FPS and it fails the test??

That's weird.  Go into the options and set the framerate to fixed.  You might also want to set it so the framerate is constantly displayed so you can see it while the benchmark is running.

I just tried setting for FIXED frame rate... no difference.   I also have enabled the FPS display and it sits at 0.00 the whole time... both current and average FPS.  I've tried multiple graphics setting so no avail.

Well, at the end of the day it *is* running smoothly so you should be ok.  That's very strange though that it can't detect the FPS.  Maybe try setting it to variable FPS instead of Fixed....  Maybe rebooting and/or reinstalling the video drivers will fix it.  Considering that it's only a benchmark I doubt the tech support will be very extensive.  heh

It might be a driver issue...

It may be that some driver component is not reporting or not reporting in a way the game likes.

Try updating your drivers (but maybe its a bug with the NEW drivers.... :dizzy:)

All in all, if it runs great, as said before it SHOULD be fine.

Worst case scenario is that the game restricts what the benchmark let happen.  So where the benchmark let you find out that it believes it doesnt work while in-game, the game itself might check that and refuse to play while still in Windows.

I just checked out the benchmark on my Core2Duo horizontal MAME cabinet.  Unfortunately my weak-ass GeForce 7200 I am using in the cab makes this game unplayable (as I expected).  Even at 640x480 all default settings aside from resolution,  I was getting 14.85 FPS.   If I turn everything to low (which turns off the backgrounds even!) I get 29FPS.   If I decide to get this game,  I will need to upgrade the video card as well for sure.

I'm using the AVGA PCI (old one) card and 800x600.  The window that comes up that shows the CAPCOM log appears too big for the screen, then the game never starts, just sits at a black screen.  Anyone have any ideas?

Uh, thanks dude but that doesn't help on an arcade monitor that can only display 800x600.

Now to actually help me...

Can someone post a pic of the starting screen.  It seems that I can change the options to get a lower rez, but I can't see the bottom of the screen to do so and I start in 1280 so it is cut off.  Thanks.

Actually, it would help if someone posted a pic and/or told me the key presses to change it to 800x600.  Such as, start it up, press right arrow 3 times, then hit enter. 

Thanks guys/gals.

Snarky responses aside, if its a Radeon9250 or earlier based card, I doubt it will be fast enough for SF4.  The 9250 came out a year before the X1600, which is listed as the minimum card for the game.

Well, believe it or not the game is running at 20FPS, the problem is it's so big only ~30% of the screen is visible. 

Instead of telling me what it can or can't do, can you just help out by posting the screen shot or giving me the directions to shrink it down?

SF4 is posted as requiring SM3 support which none of the Radion 8XXX or 9XXX series supports. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_R520

X1300's would be your bare minimum, basicly anything on the R520 design or higher.

An AVGA won't cut it.  I tried the demo myself on my X800 (SM2.0, no 3.0) and got the game 'running' but entirely black screen.  This would be because the demo is calling up shaders that the system doesn't have and as a result isn't and won't render a finished product.

I'm actually suprised it doesn't just give a warning that SM3.0 isn't present and that it won't run at all.

start it up - hit ESC a bunch of time to skip the intros.  (or wait a while)

Push the down arrow once
Hit Enter
(This goes into the PC Settings area)
Push down three times (this moves to the resolution setting)
Push left a ton of times (this changes the resolution to 640x480)
Push right once (changes the resolution to 800 x 600)
Push Up - The resolution will actually change and if you can see it hit yes to keep the settings.

This will not help XtraSmiley


The information DJ Izumi posted above is spot on regarding older cards, including the Arcade VGA card... the AVGA 2 PCIE version would be the only one that would work, since its based on the Radeon 2400 line

Screens for other's who may have an up to date card but on an arcade monitor who will still need this.

For everyone else, thanks a ton.  I'm getting a nice 30FPS at 800x600, black textures though....  LOL

maybe you should change the texture filtering options or other texture settings..texture quality, texture compression..etc  Using up to date video drivers, DirectX etc?  I've seen this game on 360 and the PC version looks WAY better.. I guess because of the higher resolution and texture detail.  I wonder how long before somebody hacks the benchmark and makes it playable? ;)

Nah, I think the old AVGA card just isn't up to snuff for this one.  The real decision now needs to be, get a new card and figure out how to make it work with my arcade monitor, and is that even worth it....

I just won a local SF4 tournament and have enough money to buy a new card too, so the decision is even harder now...

Ya it's capped at 60 fps.  At least if you set it to fixed.  If you set it to variable FPS it'll probably go higher.

I ran it on my current system and all I got was a big (I'm running 800*600) black box:o

Luckily I'm upgrading anyway.

If I'm getting an i7 920 can I get away with using a cheap video card, something around the $100 mark?

Make sure the graphics card supports Shader Moderl 3.  This isn't an issue for Nvidia cards as they moved up to SM3 support faster than ATi did.  Meanwhile with my X800, powerful enough for many games but gimped cause those games require SM3

Disable V-Sync, its whats limiting your frame rate.

My main computer is far weaker than my arcade machine, it barely runs Source Engine games playable, but it could crank out SF4 pretty easily.  I was at 70 fps at 1600x1050, and about the same at 1280x720 x2AA.

My "main" computer is:
Athlon 64 X2 2.4 Ghz
Geforce 7900GS

While my arcade machine is:
Core2Duo 3.2 Ghz
Geforce 9800 GTX+

I'm disappointed that my system didn't score higher. I had to lower the resolution to 1024x768 and turn off a lot of options to get it to run at close to 60 fps. Most of the time it struggled. I'm running a 3.5 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 4GB of ram running Windows XP. My video card may be the bottleneck. It's an Nvidia 9500 GT. I was going to get a better card when I built my rig but got this for free.   :(

Any recommendations?

Edited: Changed it to 4 GB not MB. I'm in desperate need of a vacation.

That makes little sense to me, the 9500 GT should be comparable to my 7900 GS, if not slightly better, and your processor is way better than mine, and I only have 2 gigs ram, is it an onboard card?  Are you running with a lot of AA?

That's with AA turned off completely. I was shocked when I saw the results. The card is PCI-E.

Weird, must be some odd feature that is toned down on the 9500 GT thats killing it.  An 8800 should work fine for fairly cheap.

Ah, duh, simple solution.

Nice work  =D

Just curious, what was your fps at what resolution?  (Make sure you turn off v-sync)

I was averaging somewhere around 75 fps at 1280x720. I had to turn off AA though or my scores fell below 60 fps.

So yeah, about the same as my 7900GS, which is how it should be.  Thanks for the info.

Hi all,

Well, I have the newer ArcadeVGA2 (PCIe) and I am having the same exact problems that XtraSmiley has.

Looks like this game will not work on an arcade machine running any kind of AVGA.   :cry:

Yeah, it looks like I'm going to have to dump the AVGA and figure out how to run my arcade monitor with a nicer video card and get all the resolutions the AVGA provided.  I believe it can be done, but with some sort of foot work involved.

I would assume the controls are configurable. The minimum requirements list keyboard/mouse as required input devices, with X360 controller as recommended.

I ran it on my current system and all I got was a big (I'm running 800*600) black box:o

Luckily I'm upgrading anyway.

If I'm getting an i7 920 can I get away with using a cheap video card, something around the $100 mark?

An Ati 4770 is the best thing going in that price range if you can find them, they sell out like crazy.

Yeah, I may have to do that as well.  My AVGA 2 is based on the X550 chipset (PCIe).  THE old AVGA (AGP) is based on the ATI 9250 chipset.  However, what's weird is the the Ultimarc site has the PCIe version listed as being the Radeon HD2400 chipset.  Hmm. Is there another AVGA2 I don't know about?  I'm going to e-mail Andy at Ultimarc to ask him to clarify.

Anyway, I may have to get an updated card that will run SF4 and then use soft15khz to get it to run arcade games in their native format on my Betson arcade monitor.  Sigh.

Make sure the graphics card supports Shader Moderl 3.  This isn't an issue for Nvidia cards as they moved up to SM3 support faster than ATi did.  Meanwhile with my X800, powerful enough for many games but gimped cause those games require SM3

SM 3.0 is old at this point, the last four generations of both Nvidia and Ati cards have supported it... ???

Yeah, I have the AVGA2 based on PCI, so there are a couple versions floating around.

I second the question as well, best card, must support soft 15khz, plus work on my Beston (which means an old VGA type plug right?) AND be new enough to play modern games.

Smurf, at this point I may pull the Betson out and sell it.  The better question might be, what LCD monitor fits in the hole it will leave?

I did it again last night with the Vsync off. Averaged 73fps, this is with everything maxed on 1680x1050. Also have two other screen hooked into the same video card so im sure that had some decrease on performance.

Hi all,

Well, I have the newer ArcadeVGA2 (PCIe) and I am having the same exact problems that XtraSmiley has.

Looks like this game will not work on an arcade machine running any kind of AVGA.   :cry:

~ DeLuSioNaL

To follow up on the AVGA2 issue.  There are a few sets out there (confirmed with Andy at Ultimarc):

AGP Version of AVGA2:  ATI 9250 chipset - not compatible with SF4
PCIe Version of the AVGA2:  X550 chipset - not compatible with SF4
PCIe Version of the AVGA2:  Radeon HD2400 chipset - compatible with SF4, but unplayable due to extremely low framerates
UPDATE:  PCIe Version of AVGA 3000:  Radeon RV630 chipset - Guaranteed to work with SF4 @60fps

I e-mailed Andy at Ultimarc and he responded as follows:
My original e-mail:
"Hi Andy,

I was running the newly released Benchmark test for Street Fighter 4 (SF4) and I could not get it to run.  Although I can hear the game running, after the logos and intro screens, all I see is a black box.  Others have experienced the same issues.  However, there is some confusion as to what the specs are on the AVGA series of cards.

I believe the following to be true:
AGP Version of AVGA2:  ATI 9250 chipset
PCIe Version of the AVGA2:  X550 chipset

However, on your site you list the AVGA 2 PCIe version to be a different chipset:
PCIe Version of the AVGA2:  Radeon HD2400 chipset
Listed on this page:  http://www.ultimarc.com/avgainf.html

Which is correct?  Is there a new PCIe version of the AVGA2 out?  If so is it SM3.0 compliant?  Some on the forums believe this to be the issue.

Thanks in advance for your insight."

His response:
"The card has been HD2400 for around 18 months now.
 
The HD2400 is DX 10 compatible whereas the X550 ws not, so maybe this is the issue.
 
Andy"

Turns out I have the AVGA2 with the X550 chipset (PCIe slightly older card).  However, a buddy of mine has the newer HD2400 chipset (PCIe) and it ALSO does not work.

So there it is.  All AVGA2 cards are incompatible.   :banghead:

**edit**  The NEWER AVGA2 PCI-E card does work, but it is pretty much unplayable (very low frame rate)  so in my book all AVGA series do not work with SF4.  (see attachment with screenshot sent to me by Andy himself)
UPDATE:  The new AVGA 3000 is guaranteed to run @60fps at maximum settings!

I might as well join in...  This is on my main PC, haven't tried on my HTPCs or Cab yet, but I've got it on my 360 also so wasn't much of a rush...  This is with everything maxxed out...
