1600x1200 32bit, W2K users here please!!

[mason22]

i'm trying to get a sense of measerument on framerates. Please post your machine specs and what your average fps is at 1600x1200x32.

don't forget what driver and/or and tweaks you may be running.

thank you.

my specs:

PIII600E@901mhz  (150mhz FSB)
256megs PC133 sdram
ASUS P3V4X (latest VIA/AGP drivers)
Hercules 3D Prophet II ULTRA 64meg (using 21.81 drivers)

i seemed to have lost framerate when moving to Win2K from Win98. (it's a long story about the OS change....no, i wont go into it)

i average about 15 in heavy smoke, to about 30/50's in plane.

what do you guys/gals get?

thanks for your time.

Mason, there is a bug with Nvidia's newer drivers under win2k that forces 60 Hz refresh rates sometimes.  There's a fix for it from a 3rd party, but I'm not at home right now to send you the link.  (Others have posted it before.)  You can also try going to run then type "dxdiag" and find the refresh rate thing there and try turning it up.  I lost very few FPS going to win2k, and I gained all them back by adding some ram.  (Win2k likes ram.   )

If you really want to benchmark, you can't just ask for "average".  Pick a terrain, base, plane, and location, and ask folks for their best FR in that position.  You'll get much more reasonable results.

Why not make a standard "test" film, that every one can run and compare numbers by?
