G4 Framerate comparison

Ask, and ye shall receive:

Asus A8N32SLI Deluxe
2 gb OCZ high-speed memory
XFX 8800 GTS 640 MB Video (1600X1200 Native Resolution)
4 year old AMD FX-55 processor

4X AA, 4X AF, shadows medium, water effects highest. I may run shadows highest with my boot OC rules, for the machine, and get nearly identical fps as my stock speeds with shadows on medium.

I set the system back to "stock" (no OC rules) status, just to show what an old computer may do. I don't need the latest/greatest machine, yet...

Oh...forgot; 41.4 fps on the screenshot, in case you missed the NavGuides.

I get around 35-40fps, on 1920x1080 res.

This game look's amazing on my 37" Westinghouse.

.....Like all other games, anything less than an 8800GT or 2900XT you need to have little or no shadows. That kills FPS more than anything. An 8500 card is not a gaming card even though it is a DX 10 card. Sorry for the bad news.

Wow, no kidding!! I turned off everything that was shadow connected and and my frame rates went up by a factor of ten. 140 to 200+ fps. For me, missing the shadows isn't distracting and getting the frames rates up is a much smoother simulation. (GeForce 6800/w256mb, 3g Pent duo, 2gb, XP pro)

18-21 FPS. No problems here.
 
Speaking of frame rates, I just noticed something interesting. Sitting with the aircraft on the ground (Flight school airport, F-86 turbine), with everything essentially static, i. e., just staring at the display, the frame rate sits at about 52fps. By just moving the mouse cursor around the display, the frame rate drops to 38-39 fps. One wouldn't think that simply moving a cursor around the display would affect the fps so much, or that it would even register.

I guess only idle minds with nothing else to do would notice this, but I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it.

Did you enable the dual cores in the BIOS?

With the 6800 you may be bound by the video card's processing speed too.

Shadow on.

There is an FPS counter in the sim. Press 1.

Thank you I didn't look at that thing that close. And confirmed sitting on the Dock I got 85! fraps was right on too.

Nice results! I must need to change something on my system.

The only thing I could think of would be 1280x1024. and you do have the 640meg GPU right? Mine is stock and I have not overclocked anything yet. Maybe its my case with the 200mm fan <- LOL Let me know what you find.
 
Direct X 9.0c = 30 fps Direct X 10 = 12 fps.

I had nice screen counts on the lake until I upgraded to Direct X 10. I can see little if any improvement in visuals while loosing the usable frame rate ranges. As a patch I rolled back the G4 performance settings until I get 9c back on.

Now how do I revert 10 back to 9c? I have looked everywhere to remove Direct X to install 9C again.
 
I think some of you are cheating and not having everything in the world maxxed out. :D
I get about 25-35 with my "normal" settings where I actually use the sim with my HD3850 and opty 170 @ 2.5ghz.

There are other factors that come into play as well.

For instance the zoom setting dictates how much of the view can be culled and not rendered, speeding up FPS.

AA/AF settings, etc. all affect FPS. As can WHAT you are looking at, and which plane you have loaded.

There is really not a standard view and setting that we can all use to guage FPS with accuracy.

Point the view into the sky and FPS increases ( no trees to render! ).

Load a heli ( more 3D objects in the model ) and FPS go down.

People will often also quote the most optimistic rate they have seen.
