getting between 20-45 fps with the default settings (84fps in straight up view) (AH1 maxes out at 84fps - mon. refresh).


p4 2.66g
512mb
ati 9700pro
win xp
dx 9.0b
1024*780, 85hz 32-bit color (unlimited fps set in ah2 video)

all default settings on ati card using radeonator2.0. i turned on fsaa and anistropic filtering (using minimal settings for both) and notice no discernable difference in fps gain/loss.

Shane, try the Catalyst 3.7 drivers.  As a matter of fact, anyone with an ATI card should try the Catalyst 3.7 drivers.

The last 4 numbers of the driver version for the Cat 3.7 drivers is 6378.

With all graphics settings maxed out, I'm getting a minimum of about 20fps.  This is with 2 or more drones in view and lots of ground details visible. When looking up, I get 85 fps, which is limited by my monitor refresh rate.  Scissoring around the drones and shooting them, the frame rate is usually around 25-35.

Like I said, this is with all the AH2 graphics settings maxed out, horizon fog distance at the maximum 17 miles (default is 10 miles), using 1600x1200x32bit, 2xFSAA.  Lowering the horizon fog distance naturally improves the results.

I have a P4-2.53GHz, Radeon 9700 Pro (Omega Catalyst 3.6 drivers), 1GB DDR.

Skuzzy I'm averaging from 10-30fps when my graphics set at 1024x768-32bit.  

I haven't tried 16 bit yet but I will.  I'm sure that will make it flyable.  

Great terrain guys!!
