Long 1 Posted June 28, 2002 Hi! Just assembled my new system: XP1600 GF4Ti4200 (4nsDDR) SBLive 512MB SDRam Win2K, SP2 My settings: 1024x768x32, 4xAA, OFP max settings. I still got only 17 FPS in the missions Battlefields. WHY??? (Using FRAPS) Damn, what did i wrong? So LONG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArakAtak 0 Posted June 28, 2002 Turn off 4xAA - that usually gives you a hit of 50 - 70 % drop in framerate. Try without any and then try 2xAA and see how it goes. If that doesn't help then maybe there is something wrong with your drivers or config - does it perform ok in other games/benchmarks etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Long 1 Posted June 28, 2002 Mohaa indoors hits 100 fps _with_ 4xAA Mohaa Omaha, 20 ppl, mg firing, drops to 25 lowest - _with_ 4xaa, options "full throttle" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 28 Posted June 29, 2002 You cannot compare mohaa and Opf, completely different types of engine, completely different type of game and completely different strain on the computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 Posted June 30, 2002 Your performance is probably not too far from expected. To give you a comparison, here's my stats: CPU: Athlon 1.2ghz VID: Geforce3ti200 (220/480) RAM: 512mb (pc2100) MB: Asus A7M266 OS: WinXP 3DMark2001SE: 6500 I run at 1024x768x32 with No FSAA and No Shadows. I get ~15fps average (during the charge as contact is made). So even though your system is significantly faster than mine, your detail settings are also significantly higher. With similar settings, I can get as low as 5fps. All those soldiers on 'Battlefields' generate a lot of shadow polygons. Try turning that off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kabukiman 0 Posted July 2, 2002 Some people really don't seem to know what AA really is. When playing at 1280*1024 and 4*AA ON, you're forcing your Graphicscard to render the Game at 4*1280 width and 4*1024 height in the Background an THEN calculate it down to your chosen Resolution (1280*1024)! That's 5120 * 4096! Would you play with these settings? Man, turn OFF AntiAliasing! Instead of playing at 1024*768 4*AA, I would play at 1280*960 AA OFF! Looks better, runs smoother!

BoonieRat 0 Posted July 2, 2002 Even Quincunx drops your frame rate. Battlefields is a CPU/GPU intensive map too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted July 2, 2002 The GF3 and GF4 cards can handle 2x or Quincunx FSAA with no problem at those resolutions, you will notice only a slight decrease in framerates. If you use 2x, you will theoretically use up to four times the memory bandwidth, but in practice that isn't the case due to how NVIDIA's Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA / LMA II) manages memory. And if you aren't using the full bandwidth of the crossbar memory controller, who cares? Besides, OFP (and games in general) look much nicer with FSAA on -- I can't believe how much worse everything looks when I turn FSAA off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
