Improving framerate + new graphic drivers

[Holo]

the shadows let your FPS go down on PC too - and this extremly - when GhR came out, nearly no system could run all shadows on.

So turn them off - they dont really help a lot.

Shadows are invaluable to me. You clearly haven't realized the use of it. Not my problem.

GR is capped at 60, however with mipmapping i was going over 60fps. Normally i would stop at 60.
Here is a screenshot.

AA runs slower than GHR, same with UT2k3. I average 30-40fps in AA in 1024x768 with settings on high. I run ghr at 1600x1200 on all high with mipmapping and it stays at 60fps with drops to 40-50.

oh, btw ghr runs faster in panther, because i can play itunes while playing ghr and stay at 50-60fps, when before i dropped to 30-40fps.

Thx jeb and OZ, but I was looking for the frame rate with the dual G5, but I am excided to hear teh 1.6 g5 gets such great frames in AA:O. Now if only Ace will get his ass moving and dl AA.

I also cant wait for Panther. I hear great things with it and mac in the gaming industry.

Man I am playing this game much longer then u and I never missed the shoadows - They are nice but that all.

Never did use them - EAX is more helpfull - b/c I can hear the enemy.
before I see him.

With shadows on you can tell enemies are above you or sometimes even thru walls--how can you say this isn't helpful?

Hey all

Just a short update for Voodoo. I've looked at the framerates in AA 1.9 on my dual

In the radio tower map (the only one I've really looked at)

I get framerates of between 35 - 120
probably average 45 outside, 85 inside
settings are:
everything on high
triple buffering, detail textures, projection maps and all that stuff on
1680 x 1050 x 32

every setting is standard or above standard.

the only mods are 8 sound channels instead of 32 and the "var" at 64 value to recognise the 64mb card

Dual G5
radeon 9600
1.5GB Ram

So for me AA run's faster than Ghost

Awesome Martin, thank you so much for your reply. I guess this thread is now open to all games and fps "tweaks".

I can only imagine the results with the 256mb ati card!!

Why not - when someone knows how ti Tweak a common game - just post it here
