Big WTG HTC!
This ones a keeper!


Newegg.com won't close, but I'm ready to junk the FX5900.

What you running, what card? I want those 20 fps increase. Gimme!

Good info for HTC too, to help them patch.

ATi Saphire 9000 pro 128mb (8500 chipset)

It was new and cheap in feb of 2003 at 100$.

Wait until htc gets things straightened out. I know they are working hard on this.

btw I drop texture from 512 default down to 256, run 800x600 res. Running latest cat 4.5's

Oh really? did you use a driver cleaner to remove all parts of the Nvidia driver first? SetupNVCleaner.exe, just wondering.

How fast a processor are you using?

I'm running my P3-55 oc'ed (at 733 now) and it just ain't cutting the mustard. I'm debating whether or not to try an upgrade to a 1.4 Celeron (my mobo is Slot 1 so that's as fast as I can go on it) and my big ??? mark is whether or not my 128MB Radeon 8500  is good enough. According to what you posted, maybe it is :)

LOL !!!!!

Still laughing at this most excellent post... even after having read it a few times.

This is (I think) Pyro's and HiTechs 4th major product they have collaborated on. They know how to "work the problem, people !" and get stuff to market.

Heh heh... great post.

I can picture it ...

HT: Yup ... AH II is out. Everybody gets the next 2 months off.

Pyro: HT ... what are you going to do with all your time off ?

HT: Well ... I think I will read the BBS and see how pissed off I can get people and then go fly my RV-8 all day.

Pyro: Aren't you concerned about fixing bugs ?

HT: Nah ... I want Aces High to go down the tubes so that I can get a job programming for some big corporation rather than own my own company. I thought I might sell pencils on street corners while I get my resume out on Monster.com

Pyro: HT .. what about the rest of us ?

HT: Sorry ... Your on your own.

he lost all sympathy from me when he complained that SOMEthing might be able to outperform the lala. Im currently on hiatus until I put something together that could get UP to the 45 frames he bemoans (am playin about in h2h tho...only a few planes makes for playable frames) If i EVER quit AH entirely, the sole reason would be the utter bs of the La7 model..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh

No, I only play at 800X600. Ever since 1992. Makes me feel manly and junk, if not just for nostalgia.

Ok mr creamo, yes my system would run it at much higher res.

Problem is not my system, I have a hard enough time seeing those dots as it is.

I don't have / can't afford a 21 " monitor.

So yeah, 800x600 works better for me.
If you have a problem with that take it elsewhere.

AMD 1.67 ghz here on a abit mboard culero. It was what I could afford 18 months ago.

about 800 x 600...

What is your desktop set to?

I'd advise trying to run the game at least at the same res as your desktop.

On my machine I get higher framerates at 1280x1024 (same as my desktop) than I do at 1024 x 768.  My FPS goes from 50 in tower to 60 at the higher resolution.

This was also the case in AH1
