Havoc, that 5200FX card is not much faster than a GF2 Ultra.  You are getting what I would expect from the Beta and that video card.  Remember, AH2 is more video card dependent than AH1 is.

Remember, it is a Beta.

OK HA HA!

I tried same machine, switching to the Quadro 2 Pro GL card and fps dropped to 3 -5.

Guess I shouldn't be playing games at work!

I could have told you the Quatro cards were going to be really slow.  They are designed for OpenGL acceleration and not D3D.

The clouds were causing a small problem as they flickered in and out.  I turned off horizon and everything is looks great.
