frame rate of 15 what up?

[Gman]

Could you tell me which field you were at in the Beta where you were seeing the FPS on your box running around 100+ FPS?

Pudgie, if you go to A5 to the SE of the starting base in offline, this is what I've been using, it's a grass strip single runway base.

With the latest beta client, 1080p resolution, everything maxed with FOV at 106, I'm seeing 125 to 144 (max) once airborne in the area around the drones.  If I click reflections/environment back to 1, where I play in the MA now in AH, it's pretty much solid 144/max no matter what altitude I'm at.  I've been trying it with shadows off, as sometimes when in fights I find them distracting, and the FPS meter doesn't move off 144 with them off, and environment at 1 or 2, and at max, just the odd dip into the 120/130s on the deck.

At 1440p, I'm not seeing a whole lot of decrease in numbers FPS wise, while idling on the deck, all settings maxed, it's around 95 or so @A5 base, and once airborne, is averaging around 130 I would say, sometimes it'll max out at 144, usually around 120 to 130, which is great since anything over 90 to 100 is really hard to distinguish.  I just prefer 1080p as the targets are easier to hit in game.  Hitting F3 while in the tower at A5, you get a great few of the trees up close, they look really good.

The more I'm messing around with it, the faster/better it's looking, I'm very interested to see what furballs are going to be like around say a couple of CVs.

Maybe this has been answered, but will the 970 + cards work well enough in a pci 2.0 slot?

The slot version doesn't matter much enough to mention.

[SIK1]

I'm running an eight year old E8400 4GB ddr2 system I upgraded to win7 64bit, and put a used $20 nvidia gtx 480 1.5GB ddr5 in. I'm running 1920x1080 resolution, 2048 texture, enviroment map 0, gamma 1.1. I have shadows, ground clutter, clutter in flight, reflections, and post lighting, disabled. Objective detail, and ground detail are both centered, while tree detail is a quarter of the way up from low detail.

For me the game looks very nice, and I have so far been able to maintain very playable frame rates (40-60). In fact if this kind of performance continues through the beta I just plan on spending around $150 on an upgraded video card until I can afford to build a new system.

I have a similar aged system to Sik with a slower processor, but better GFX card. 

With minimal opponents and action, FPS appears better than the current version.   Only dipping from 60 whilst over town/base or low level passes. 

I think the main issue here is that the new version relies much more on having a proper Graphics card, 2gb or more memory, where up until now the focus has been more on the CPU.  Now that HTC has given everyone access to Beta give it a go and tinker with the settings.  No point throwing your toys out of the pram at a first glance.   Progress and change for the better is a good thing and should be welcomed for when AH2 is dropped we shall go forward together into a brave new world of higher detail and enhanced awesomeness.
