Bout the same as mine 35ish fps 2.00 gighz, 1 meg ram, 9800 pro default settings except for distance dialed low.

You guy s are lucky, I get anywhere near a furball or a feild anymore and my FPS drops to the low teens.
-
Or even into single digits on my system. What the heck happened?
Can we get an arena with the very first AH I terrains so that I can use my available framerate to fight other airplanes in the air?
I really have no use for leaves on trees.

2200 Sempron
512meg of 2700
Fx5700 `128meg
I get in the 50's most places and 20's-30's in furballs at 1024x768 on an ancient 17".
But I slide the slider all the way to performance to achieve that.
Oh and I preload textures and skins which seemed to help.

did you do a reformat after you installed the new card? i went from a 9800pro to at x800pro and had low fps till i did a XP repair, even thou i was using the exact same driver for the both of them . If you dont want to reformat,or repair, remove the video card drivers then run driver cleaner, it a great little program that removes all reminents of the old driver. i would remove the vc, motherboard chipset , and sound driver . then reinstall all with the latest drivers. also reinstalling directX might be a good idea.GL 38

When changing from one series of card to another, or even one series of drivers to the next, same brand, I'm becoming convinced running a registry cleaner is a necessary step too. I thought it was excessive at first, but I'm experiencing it myself. Can make a difference.
