Author Topic: What Kind of System are your running? Let's Help HTC (Read 1129 times)

I wonder if HTC has these stats compiled somehow. But in another thread, some were discussing the fact that AH's graphics engine is getting a tad long in the tooth. (Just a bit)

The question is, how far can they raise the system requirments, and still maintain the bulk of their player base.

Let's give HTC an idea as to what we are running, and perhaps this will lead to the development of a better game for all.

My System:
Dell Dimension
1.9 Gig Intel Pent IV
256 Megs Ram
GeForce (something) 64 Megs Ram on Card
Turtle beach Santa Cruz Sound Card
19" Monitor
Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS

Average Frame rate in MA=74

Dumb question guys. How do you find out the framerate?

When in the game, press Ctrl-I and you'll see your frame rate at the top of your screen (along with a ton of other numbers which I have no idea about)

Muck, looking at my sys. would any number be about "average" for my Framerate? I realize the larger the number, the better.

PS - Thanks man

I'm no computer expert, but with all that ram, I would say you should be running at least 65 average.

(Keep in mind, I've had my FR drop to 40 in Large Furballs)
