Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted July 5, 2005 Just wanted to add something concerning performance in OFP. My sytem specs look as following:AMD Athlon64 3000+ 1GB Ram Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro 128mb asus k7v se deluxe mb I got a very good tip lately (thx Balschoiw!. Before OFP wasn't running _too_ well on my computer, without dxdll enabled and medium settings/~2000 view distance. Now this excellent guy gave me the tip to use the Omega drivers (http://www.omegadrivers.net) for the ATI and to set my AGP Aperture Size lower (I knew about this but somehow was too ignorant to do it earlier...), so I set it at 4x. Doing these two things, I noticed a huge performance increase! OFP, whose earlier average fps rate was around 20-25, is now running with between 40 and 120 fps in average missions with dxdll fully enabled! I just wanted to share my excitement with others, maybe there are other people in a similar situation as I was before. yes please. could you be more precise. Does that also work for other games or is there is a risk of conflicts? Me I am using a non spectacular Dell with 3.0 Gig, 1024 Ram and a 9800 Pro with a 21 Screen. For all those that use less than a P4 with 1.3 you should be stoned for stingyness! I threw away my P4,1.3 because noone wanted to buy it, not even for 50 Euro! and this was February 2004Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hannibal- I. 0 Posted July 5, 2005 New test in July 05 showed: The AMDs are faster for 3d-games. They are cheaper and for they are working faster with lower frequency they produce much less heat and use much less electric power. Thats it for me. I do now understand, why they had to use "extreme contracts" to get them all: http://www.amd.com/us-en....00.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RKSL-Rock Posted July 5, 2005 i was wondering are omega drivers better than the catalyst ones Depends alot on your card. I have a 9600Pro atm and for some tihngs it makes a huge difference - but with some games it makes no difference at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sch1sm 0 Posted July 7, 2005 I am currently running the following system: AMD Athlon XP 2600+ GIGABYTE GA-7N400 Pro 2 nForce 2 Ultra 400 1GB (2 x 512MB) GeIL Value RAM Dual Channel NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT 128MB AGP CREATIVE Sound Blaster LIVE! 5.1 Sound Card Western Digital Caviar 80GB Hard Drive It's a fast system, the Dual Channel fairly gives OFP a boost as well as the GPU although i've lately been having problems where it would cause my PC to reboot for some reason. Not my PSU since it's an Akasa Paxpower 460W and is one of the best quality around, but let me leave this to the Troubleshooting forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicksand 0 Posted July 8, 2005 My system is going down the drain.It wasn't state of the art when I bought it but it did the job for Operation Flashpoint.It's curently impossible for me to run:FDF;CSLA;Liberation 1942-1945;High Sky mods,DXDLL,Flash FX pack,ECP,EECP etc. if I want a decent frame rate with all the optimisation I've done,so it's vanilla Flashpoint for me. I am running on a P4 1,4 Ghz,256 DDRAM,GeForce 2 Mx 400 Â .. I want to upgrade by the end of the year and I am still not sure if I should go with AMD or Intel Nvidia or ATi.I am aiming for a system capable of running Operation Flashpoint 2,should I wait some more or can you make some suggestions for a resonable price?

P4 3Ghz or AMD 3000+ 1024mb PC3200 memory (512mb works to, but the more the marrier) ATI Radeon 9600 or similar GeForce FX-card (256mb) Make sure your harddrive has at least 2mb cache or else upgrade A DVD-burner is always good to have Of course a motherboard to support all this If I missed a component, someone can fill in, if you want to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LennyD 0 Posted July 11, 2005 Mmmm.... had a quick look through the posts, seems like I've one of the weaker motors. AMD T-Bird 1GHz 512+64 MB RAM and a old GeForce 2 ( 64 MB ) Upgraded before, but the cpu only lasted 2 month I use a Laptop for work... it has lots of power and ram...but a shared-mem video-card ...so no OFP there.
