At this rate, I may have to retire my wings

 Here`s some of my system.ini settings:

[386Enh]
PagingDrive=D:
MinPagingFileSize=131072
MaxPagingFileSize=131072
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1


[vcache]
MinFileCache=32768
MaxFileCache=65536
ChunkSize=1024

466 Celeron@525mhz

256mb PC100 CAS 2 SDRAM

V770 TNT2 Pro 32mb <V770 ULTRA BIOS>

SBLIVE Value

 After a fresh install I noticed some choppiness while online,I opened system.ini from the run prompt added the lines above and rebooted-problem solved.

 I also use the server ram settings in system properties along with a fixed swap file,its rare to see any disk activity <swapping> with the ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 setting in system.ini.

Uhmm I see a lot of bla-bla-bla here. Looks like B17-II BBS  .
BTW, I play with a PIII-800 with 256MByte RAM and a GeForce2 GTS. Near CV groups the FR is *sometimes* so low that the sim is unplayable and enemy fiters warp around like mad frogs. I can understand well what Rip says.
Rip, lets buy a PII-333 with a Voodoo2

My PII-266, 128 Mb, Voodoo 3 2000, is at 15-25 FPS in CV groups.

Lot of warps, but this is a lag-ppl# issue.

Eh eh, Gatt your PC seem undermodeled...

Muhahahaha !!!!

This has zilch to do with this thread of FPS quiting whine studmuffinology.

All I care is, Droopy only made it 5 days into his "2weeks" away from the bbs.

That's as piss poor as your 1999 system.

Hossa jiihad,

there're 2 questions left for me:

1. How high is your fr in heavy fleet furrball
2. What Windows version your're using

Athlon 700, Geforce 2 MX here, and the only time FPS takes a hit is when I'm REAL close to water plumes from rounds hitting water. Like in a PT boat firing at the water right next to me.

CVs and ack have little effect on my FPS it seems, in in heavy conflagrations.

agree, voodoo players seem to gripe less about 1.05

me and my v5500 as pretty happy, no noticeable problems, pretty smooth around CV and furball's though I think we could tone done the ack around the fleets.
wish you the best of luck Rip with your setup

All I can say to Geforce owners is that try out different driver versions, not always the latest 'leaked' beta driver gives the best performance..

I was using the latest driver set supplied by the card manufacturer (ELSA) and noticed bad framerates all over.. After installing the official NVIDIA detonator drivers, framerates were restored to normal level..

My system setup is:

Celeron 667@950Mhz
128Mb Cas2
Elsa erazor X overclocked to 145Mhz core / 180 memory
Dx8 + 98SE

3DMark2000 gives 4660pts at 1024x768 16bit
Framerates never plunge under 22fps with 1.05, generally getting over 60fps.

Those guys complaining with Geforce2 must have a complete mess with their system setup.

Rip, something is odd about your drivers.  I get much better frame rates than that around the carriers with: Cel 366, 128 mb ram, ATI xpert 128 (16 mb).

I'm curious to see how my other system will do when I get to use it again: Athlon Tbird 700@900, 128 mb cas2 pc 133 ram, 32 mb V770 Ultra.  If it's lower than this Celery system I'm using now then maybe something us wrong.

Did patch 3 help?

Don't feel bad Rip, Wert hasn't played AH since he put in his Geforce card, says the display is totally messed up, must be something to this.
