I have an Nvidia Geforce 2 MX 400 card.

What frame rate should I expect from this?

Yeah, I know. Tis a sucky card. I just wanted to know whether or not I should be getting the low FPS that I am getting.

Oh, yeah, and would an ATI 9600 XT work with FSO?

Help!

The recent ATI cards have driver issues and don't display specular at all, but otherwise it'd work fine.  And GeForce2 will result in low framerates, especially if you've got graphical goodies turned on.

I had the same card on my p3 450... I averaged a solid 60FPS, only because w2k limited it to such... I had 320Mb ram, but 3 gigs of virtual ram set aside... Never had any problems..

I have 500-something ram.

Maybe I should let windows use a few more gigs of virtual ram, then, eh?

I'll try that. I manage about 50 FPS, until I look at a lot of ships, or a bunch of effects.

Depends completely on the settings you use.

If you use plain vanilla with only HTL then you'll get great framerates.

If you turn on everything and use the new upgraded effects, models, backgrounds and textures, then you'll get great framerates until you look at something.  At which point it'll drop to a crawl.


The amount of RAM you have and the CPU you have effects this too of course

I was still hitting about 30 when facing something with everything turned on...
