Will There Be a Radeon Optimization?

former Massho!e  lol

I'm not understanding why Dell set your Arpeture to 64 when you have a 256mb Vid Card (****ing Hackers), I also don't know why I get such good frame rates myself but I can tell you this, when I start turning things up my frames do go way down to the 50's sometimes.

So my card does show it's age when the Bells and Whistles come into play.

Only thing i can suggest is try 1024x768 res turn the quality sliders down a bit and back off the AA and AF a little until this all gets worked out.

Also I don't know what you may have running in the background that seems to effect gameplay alot from what I have read on this board.

Only thing running on my computer when I turn on AH is Explorer,Systray and Swtray(sidewinder software)

I'm sure when all is said and done with AH2 you guys with the latest and greatest vid cards will prevail.

Personally i'm waiting for the next advancement of Video Cards to come out as i'm not to impressed with ATI 9800 series or NVidia's newest at the moment.

My upgrade from GeForce 3 to the GeForce 4 Ti4400 seemed to be a bigger advancement then G4 to now.

But what the hell do I know I have a Great Tech that does most of my work.

PCI Express Technology is looking pretty interesting in the near distant future

Ok this is my video8.cfg file from the settings folder, at 1600 res in cockpit NE runway default field i get 48fps.

Just for giggles set your LOD and Objsize to 0.3 and see what you get.

I do realize FSAA (especially supersampling AA) is going to use up a lot more memory by rendering at a higher resolution and then downsampling.  (Even though that's not how the Radeons do it.)

I posted the info because I thought it was interesting that I had the same framerate at 1024x768 when the triangle count was the same versus 1280x1024 with 6x FSAA enabled.
