Post by: DREDIOCK on January 26, 2004, 09:15:54 AM

G-force Fx 5200 AGP
128 Ram
Running on a
AMD Antholon XP2100 system with
512 MB of corsair ddr333 Ram
Windows XP pro

 Using the Games Default graphic settings
Frame rate offline is around 30
 Online its 58-61 with occasional drops to 50
Online is the same frame rate as I get in AH1 cept the framerates never drop that far

Sky seems more bright gray then blue
hit sprites are impossible to see on enemy planes unless your right on top of the target (bout 10 feet)

Can see Artificial horizon or bottom portion of gunsight through clipboard when clipboard is brought up

Hap....your GeForce4 Ti4200 is better then the FX5200.  The FX5200 is comparable to the GeForce3.  I have a new FX5200 with 256 vid mem in the box.  I had a GeForce4Ti4600 installed before getting the FX5200.  My settings in AH are as follows

1280X1024    32bit resolution.
GeForce4Ti4600 128mem
refresh rate 90Hz
constant FR 85

Same settings above with the FX5200 256mem
constant FR42.

NVidia screwwed the pooch with the FX series.  Talk with Skuzzy about that.

Bought a Radeon 9800 Pro...use 6X FSAA  , same constant FR 85 but when using FSAA much smoother graphics,

So Hap...hang onto that GF4 card....will perform well in AH2. :aok

I suppose it should be noted that the GeforceFX 5200 is listed as one of the best values in that link you posted.
