Results of the FPS Test

"Application preference" is as good as 'no AA' for Aces High II, as we do not enable AA.


Why don't u have the option in the game settings for this? Along with AF.  When we have it turned on in the video control panel, its set that way for all games regardless.  If we had an option to select it in the game it be alot more convienent for us as we don't have to change it everytime for another game.

Hey Skuzzy,

I changed drivers to 4.12 and textures to 512 as you suggested.

Big improvement.

Yes when I got the 9800 128 meg card I thought I was getting a screaming video card.  I upgraded from a 64 meg card and thought, "well hey 128 meg ought to do it."  Imagine my suprise.

I still have 2x aa enabled.  I'll try doing without.  But I'm getting pretty good frames now.  This project is real good for the game.

Now can you fix my tanks.  I selected Tiger but got "Paper Tiger" instead.  It took 4 hits to and Osti and I only got an assist.  I took one hit from a panz to the front of the Tiger and I'm dead.  I'm sure its connected to the new drivers.

what is the big difference btwn 18, 512, 1024 textures?
I have resorted to 128 textures for my  ati 9800 and it still looks fine.
am I  missing something?

I don't get it either....  Doesn't matter what res I run or however many textures - I never get over 60 fps.  And yes, I have it set at unlimited fps.  No matter what I do, it seems to stay at around 60 fps, unless I do the shift F4 and then it drops to around 30.   I am confused.....

 You forgot to turn off v-sync while testing, also your refresh rate is set too low for normal gameplay, you should be able to set it to at least 85 @ 1280 x 1024 res on most monitors.

You guys that are hainv performance issues with the 9800Pro, try this.

Set the maximum texture size to 512 and run the optest.  Then set the resolution in the game to 1280x1024 and run the optest.  For these runs, disable AA and AF.  See what the results are like.

Thanks

NOTE:  I would also suggest using the Catalyst 4.12 drivers, without the Catalyst Control Center for this particular video card.

Skuzzy - I have an ATI 9700Pro using the latest drivers. My FPS went up 115% with the test executable.  Before, 20-30fps, now I'm getting 60-80fps at a busy burning airport.

Refresh rate of 60 is normal for a LCD based screen. But if he has a CRT (normal tube monitor) he should immediately raise the refresh rate.

Flickering causes eyewear and general stress on the body. Tiredness, headaches and in some extreme cases migraine.

Skuzzy, having some weird problems...

I've done the same test several times, but almost every time I get different results. I don't have any background programs running. All settings are as they should be and texture size is 512 now. 1024 works fine aswell though.

The highest FPS I've had stable is about 116 looking from tower. However, most of the times I do the test I get these results.

512 res textures. 1280x1024 resolution.

TWR Fwd 41   50   71   77
TWR Left 34   42   67   74
TWR Right 37   44   68   71
TWR Back 36   44   64   72
Grnd fwd 12   15   46   48
Grnd left 13   15   44   47
Grnd right 10   11   39   40
Grnd Back 10   12   38   39
P51d fwd 30   35   45   49
P51d back 33   41   62   66

Those are the results I've gotten most times now...

Intel P4 2.4 CPU with Hyperthreading, 512mb 1066 RDRAM. ATI Radeon non Pro BIOS flashed to Pro. Clock speed is at normal low 290 @ 270. Omega Drivers, latest version.

Running at 370 @ 290 I get another 30-40 Fps in tower/full vis and about 10 more in ground mode and 3-5 in P51. Only tested overclocked with Both object and terrain set to on.

P51 full vis I get about 3-5 more.
