1 gig ram (don't know the speed)
9600SE Radeon (went and bought a 6600GT card over the holidays and saw no frame rate improvement, only slight graphics improvement...brought it back, not spending $200 on a card that really doesn't improve overall effects)
Latest drivers as of December to include Mobo, sound and graphics.
Runs Doom 3 quite well...not at highest settings, but then again at 1280x1024 on high performs well enough.
My sliders are 2/3 max with ground slider at .5 miles....so I never really see gv's unless I am within 1k of them, below 400feet.
Water animation off.
I run the game at the same desktop settings 1280x1024 with textures at 256.
You would think withmy system specs and everything it should be running smooth. I don't have time to look at the AA settings, but I should not be pushing the limits since I am running default since reinstall.
I know I'm getting old, but maybe you could solve this other problem which I attribute to my monitor. Planes look like itty bitty dots until they get about 400 out (which it probably why my gunnery has gone down by half). I've tried different resolutions, but to be quite honest I don't want to run the game at 800x600 and I should not have to, this is 2005, not 1995. Once again I think my specs should be more than adequate to run AH.
Your specs are more than adequate to run AHII, but the processor is the main ingredient in getting good fps here. A 2.4 Ghz P4 is more than good enough, but not good enough to see spectacular frame rates unless the rest of it is performing well. The 9600SE is a low end 9600 with a slower processor than the other 9600 series cards. Its a value card. More than likely you have some settings on your video card that are slowing down your fps. I dont know exactly what frame rates you are seeing, as you didnt post that. You can post your problem in the Tech Support forum and maybe Skuzzy can help you find specific ways to speed you up.
