My squad has asked if I could gather some data on the range of hardware performance that can be expected in this sim. I was wondering if you guys could post here your hardware specs and the average FPS you get. I will distill the information into some kind of chart and make it available to everyone. To give you an idea of what I'm looking for I'll add mine here. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out with info:

Processor: 600 pIII
System RAM: 256 meg
3D Card: TNT2 ULTRA
3D Card RAM: 32 meg
OS: Win98
FPS: 60-70

Thanks,

sure, here ya go
AMD K6-2 400
Viper 770 Ultra
64MB RAM (soon to be 128)
17" monitor
TM FLCS, WCS MkII, Elite pedals

average fps 30-35 when up close and personal with a bandit

cel 366 emachine at 299.00
system 64 meg 66mhz bus (added 32 from basic)
voodoo 3 2000 99.00
16 meg
win98
around 40 at best lowest 25or so
interact jstick 39.00
you can do it on the cheap!!

Processor: PII 333 w/MMX
System RAM: 192mb (128mb PC100 and 64mb 66hz stuff)
3D Card: Diamond Viper V770 Ultra
3D Card RAM: 32mb
OS: Win95 OSR2
FPS: low 30's in furballs. typically mid 30's to mid 40's in flight that depends on wher eI'm flying, clouds, other aircraft, ground clutter on/off etc, etc....

(you really need to define one point to measure frames from within the sim if you want a real comparison between different people's setups)

CC that last comment Westy.

Unless frame rates are compared using the same processor load, ie the same amount of moving obejects in each frame, the comparisons are not going to mean much. The frame rate looking at a blue sky is going to be very different from that in the middle of a furball with ack flying and clouds above.

I believe Avin had set up a WB frame rate benchmark test which involved starting offline on a carrier with the escorts all shooting at you. Something similar needs to be defined here. (Obviously we have no CV's here, but you get the idea.)

Processor: Cyrix 333
System RAM: 128 MB
3D Card: Suspect Voodoo 2
3D Card RAM: 12MB
OS:Win 98
800x600, no hi res textures
FPS: goes as low as 6 and as high as 17

Suspect is not the make of voodoo 2 but rather because i think something is wrong with it.
Are these framerates down to my card or is it just my processor is a bit weak?
Any help appreciated.
P.S. D3D games run much worse than openGL ones

P3 500 on intel 820 MB
128 meg ram
19in LLYMA mon
32 meg Guillemot?? Gmax (new nvidia chipset)
clone soundcard (quadzilla type)
X36 combo

Runs 25-40 FPS maxed out in res at 32bit hi res. Runs 45-55 backed off a bit. My understanding is FPS in the new nvidia chipset is roughly equal to TNT2 for current generation of games

the cyrix processor is a dog for 3D applications. Cyrix has always had problems with "floating" decimal point equations integral to 3D gaming. The only real solution is a better processor but the new GPU cards will take some load of of the CPU.
I'm not sure how much sense it makes to pay $250 for a vidio card vs upgrading MB and/or chip.

Thx humble

I knew the processor was a bit of a dog (you get what you pay for) but was also wondering about my card due to the fact i've had driver problems with it and also when i loaded up half-life it was alright in openGL (i don't know the FPS, how do you find out for games without a FPS counter?) but moved along at less at about 1 FPS, literally!

Heck, guess I should have asked what screen res people were running (that WOULD make quite a bit of diff ;0) )
LoL! oh well, this isn't scientific, just a rough survey.

Thanks,
