FPS test.

[Cthulhu]

Ok, previously I've ran ROOst on DX9 with everything maxed. I could play fine but my FPS was normally in the 10> area. I just did a test, setting my sound quality on low, using D3D rendering settings on LOW and had the same FPS.

These are my settings:

Intel Celeron Piece of Crap Edition
768mb of DDR2 Ram
nVidia Geforce FX 5500 256mb

If anyone with settings similar to this that's getting good FPS could send me their redorchestra.ini file I would appreciate it.

EDIT: FPS Comparison

Sadly, there's hardly any difference in framerat between the highest and lowest possible settings.

the best way i found to increase my fps. rather than standing in a certain spot to check fps, use a benchmark prog like aqua mark3. it gives you all your stats, so you can see if any tweaks are working. also use gamexp to optomise your system for gaming. easy to find both programs, just google them. if you need more info on them pm me. also optomise your system (xp)before playing games it really helps. try www.tweakguides.com not just for your system(xp) but also r.o his guide on u.t 2004 is the 1 as red orchestra uses that engine.. hope this helps.. but i dont think you will increase your fps by too much with that celeron thats your bottleneck....

Well I just used GameXP to Warp Speed my compy. I hope it makes it better. It sounds promising. Nothing's better than warp speed.

star trek springs to mind captain kirk says warp speed scotty
scotty says aye aye captain...

 

[Cthulhu]

I'm running Aquamark 3 now. Doing a test or whatever. I got around 1 FPS average on the high particle count...

 

[snake byte..]

at the end of the test check the results for your gpu and cpu. write it down..that is the benchmark before you tweak your system. then run aquamark after tweaking your system to see the difference in your cpu and gpu scores.

 

[Cthulhu]

I don't know how to tweak, and those guides make no sense. GameXP helped me none. Now I'm really pissed.

 

[Athena]

How does this GameXP software work? like it closes all the unecessary background apps running?

 

[Cthulhu]

Supposedly it just optimizes your system for gaming.

Didn't do **** for me.

It's your processor for sure, same thing happened for me in a lot of games on my computer, upgraded the processor and they all ran like a soft material used by tailors.

How would I go about getting/installing one? Should I just try and get a new computer?

 

[Terminxman]

Probably that CPU, I'm thinking this game is fairly CPU intensive.

 

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, I guess I just have to get a new compy...

Looks to me like you have your AA set pretty high which isn't even in the ball park of free with a 5500. Not to mention you've not listed your resolution. So I have to assume this is your fault for poor frame rate. As well as a Celeron should never be used for serious gaming these days. This looks like a simple lack of hardware & knowledge of how to apply settings to hardware.

I'm running everything at 1152x864.

I just checked and saw my antialiasing and anisotropic filtering were maxed. I turned them to application controlled. And I also changed my image quality settings to just quality.

And I know the Celeron isn't good for gaming, I got the cheapest PC I could get, then upgraded. When I get a job I'm going to build my own, this is just for right now.

Maybe a stupid question, but did you test in practicemode with bots? If so then that would explain a lot.
If I use practicemode with 32 bots then I get 35-50 fps no matter what detail setting I use. But when I play online then I get 75fps (sync refresh setting) no dips no matter how many people are in my screen or how many are shooting.
Your CPU is very important for rendering. But it is also very important when you use bots.

^^
Those pictures were takne on Rakowice with ten other bots.

UPDATES:
OMFG! I went in and turned antialiasing and anisotropic filterin to application controlled and now I get an even 30fps at the highest graphics settings. I'm pretty happy. I'd like to get it into the 50+ area but this is fine for now.

 

[Devourer]

1152x864 is way to high for a 5500. YOu shouldn't go any higher then 1024x768 & to be honest you should most likely run 800x600.

 

[CG Man]

Any new game with physics simulation is gonna need a good cpu pent 4 or amd 64 adding a sound card will free up some cpu power. Antializing and resolution are the GPU hoggers try a higher res with no antializing and have atleast 1GB of ram.

You mean lower res don't you?
