That's a very nice machine for playing OFP.

yeah, it´s brand new, got it yesterday, and it was quite cheap too ;)

now, i would like tho know what settings i should use...

[PhilippRauch 0]

first off use the preferences dialog and "detect settings" ... this is what gives me the best results...

inside the game i would put the details very high but the viewdistance quite low about 1000-1500 if you like to play with tanks.. or lower if you have infantry only.. it could also be governed by the mission you play if it uses the setviewdistance command...

i like to put down the texture resolution inside the advanced tab in the preferences tool.. from 4096 to 1024.. idont think i miss anything.. i also have shadows compleatly disabled...

i dont know if the framerate settings do anything... just play around with them during some simple mission...

also a good thing is, when you have memory interleave on your machine enabled... it gives me much higher values on the OFP benchmark...

(normally your machine should have it already... its quite new and those babies have it all ;) ) otherwise its somewhere in the bios... or use venabler0.15

With 512MB RAM you should stick to Medium with the Terrain Detail setting. I bet your machine can't handle Very High (few machines out there might be able to handle it) and while it might work with Terrain Detail High, it will most likely

a) skrew the bridges on many islands,

b) give you a terrible (bumpy) off-road experience .

Go into OFP Preferences, and set Terrain Detail to 512 x 512. You'll see a noticeable performance increase on Tonal.

b) give you a terrible (bumpy) off-road experience .

it has some advantages too:

a) more room to hide from armor

b) light/shadow effects on bumpy hills look awesome

c) bumpy off road can be fun

if you don´t know this tutorial on how to setup ofp, i suggest you to read it: Link

The highest terrain detail looks ugly.. way too bumpy

[Metalmalte 0]

but good in MP!

yep lots of natural fox holes also good for surviving artillery

I use these settings for playing OFP. I forgot who originally posted them on this board. What do you think?

Limit_LOD="0.000005";

frameRate=10.000000;

visualQuality=0.050000;

Resolution is kept at 1024x768 and view distance is 1000.

AMD Athlon 2400 (1.9 GHz)

512 RAM

Radeon 9500 Pro

I usually play with AA at 4 and AF at 8.

lol from that link:

Funny the "If all else fails try codemasters site" part But its true Avon's FAQ is pbb the best ofp troubleshooting resource out there.

i wondered what CPU benchmark you guys would have,

as my 2500+ get droped from 5000~ to >3000

this really piss me off as i a laggin like hell when there's numbers of AI

[Dwarden 1124]

i suggest 1-2 GB memory because that 512 is too low

also normal 9800 pro 256MB or XT outperform that SE (you become GPU limited on that CPU otherwise).

if you can't afford that wait till end of month and Radeon X800XT release ...
