System
Asus A7N8X NforceII motherboard
AMD XP3000+ cpu
Kingston HyperX PC3500 DDR ram
Soundstorm onboard sound
Radeon 9800 Pro w/Catalyst 3.8 driver
Latest direct X update
Windows XP Home,with all critical security updates

I tried various settings,but it seemed that I lost no framerate at 1600 x 1200 as compared to 1280x1024 and 1024x768,so I left it there.I have 4x AA enabled,and no AF on.Refresh is set to 75,what my moniter supports at 1600x1200.

Also,any changes I made to video settings,either in the game or with the video card didn't take effect until I rebooted.

Framerate

HQ w/cb 47
HQ wo/cb 56

Runway w/CB 28
Runway wo/cb 32

Inflight on deck heading away from field 50,drops to 20 when shooting
Inflight at 10k heading away from the field,65drops to 18 when shooting.

Some weirdness to this-when I reverse back to the field(even though I can't see it),my framerate drops to about 34,but jumps right back to 65 if I head away from the field again.This is at 10k,and the field isn't visible.

Shooting at P51-framerate drops to 13-14

I had one CTD-I augered the plane,and got kicked to desktop.This happened only once,and I haven't been able to duplicate it.

Hope this helped.

Something aint right there.
With you're rig you should be getting really good FPS.
Heck I only got a g force ti4600 128meg and Im getting 45-78 FPS
You should be blowing me away:confused:

Are you both running at 1600x1200 32bit with 4x Anti-aliasing?

im running at 1280x1024 with 4x AA, and im getting about the same frame rates. Hitech posted today that they optimized some of the code, and they got 20fps+ on pyros p3 900 machine from what it was before. So hopefully monday we will see that patch.

Good deal.I've been building systems a long time,and I'm pretty good at optimizing them.

I ran all sorts of tests,and there really isn't much I can do to improve performance from where I'm at.

Take all these benchmarks with a grain of salt...beta's are never good to judge the final product by.
