Frame Rate info

This seems better place for this info than my thread on page 3 now:aok
Frame Rates at various Resolutions
Test at 3 resolutions

(1) Desktop 1024 (2)1280 (3) 1600 All 32
bit unlimited FR

Tower with clipborad up
(1) 42fps
(2) 47
(3) 47


Tower no Clip
(1) 51
(2) 56
(3) 57

OTR Spit 5 engine running
(1) 24
(2) 28
(3) 29

Wheels up
(1) 34
(2) 38
(3) 39

Verticle
(1) 85
(2) 85
(3) 75

(max refresh on monitior in each case)

Guns firing tracer on
(1) 19
(2) 19
(3) 22

Overall impression was higher resolution smoother and better it ran.

Some stutter at lower resolutions lessened as resolution increased

AH 2 FRS = 0  
                  FB runs better.

AH 1.11 FRS= 35-40

Ok tested.

2250 MHz AMD XP (compares about xp 2800)
ti4200 64meg
1 GB ram
Epox 8rda+
All newest drivers, DX9

1280x1024 , FR 3 or lower!!!
1024x768 about 15 to 30

AA set to x2 , no other filters.

FB runs with all on , same resolution, flawlessly and looks nicer also.

This code needs to be optimized about 20x or more, otherwise we all have to buy ATI 9800 or something like that.

WinXP
Asus Geforce4 Ti4400, 128MB

DX9.0

Using 1600x1200x32, with all enabled in AH. No FSAA or AF.

FPS

Default Tower + Clipboard = 21 FPS
Default Tower - Clipboard = 24 FPS
109G10 NE Runway = 13 FPS
Low flying over base, looking towards town = 10 FPS
Low flying over flat land with forrest & farms = 20 FPS
Low flying over sea = 48 FPS
Low flying over sea, with cont. tracers (x3) = 14 FPS

Comments

I'm aware of the huge bottleneck my CPU creates.
Turning the various graphic options off in AH didn't give much improvent to framerate, neither did using a lower resolution or colordepth.
There is a noticable slowdown whenever the horizon is in view (over land). When it's not (looking partially downwards), there is a big increase in FR.
If any building complex gets just barely visible far far out, framerate drops alot. Maybe lessen detail until getting closer?
Tracers eat tremendous ammount of FPS.
I'm getting minor stutters every couple of seconds when flying. When new trees/buildings are popping up, maybe?

you mentioned cat 3.7 with last no#3698<-not sure on that number now..lol forgot what it was but it is close

is the oney one i can find at ATI and there is also 3.8 just out. is there any difference


CATALYST™ 3.7
Driver Build 4.14.01.9118
7-93-030812a1-010735c

[Sarge]

tried all the settings and drivers for ati 3.7 3.8 and omega drivers for ati still avg 20 - 25 in twr...14 on runway. in flight above grnd about 25 avg+ - 2..... Straffing grnd targets about 8-13fps.... 500m away to 200m from plane down to 0 for about 2 secs then well pass target from there . thats about it for FPs run double in ah1 there i avg about 40-45fps norm.... think that is more my problem the low fps . and some of the gliches in video. think it will be a great game as it is now.. .
