psycore · Aug 04, 2008, 10:38 AM // 10:38

8800 gtx 1920 x 1200
all effects and vsync on
60 fps

it's a fairly grunty card but a tad on the hot side.

Savage Apprentice · Aug 04, 2008, 10:44 AM // 10:44

18 fps ftw

yes i know its outdated xD

distilledwill · Aug 04, 2008, 10:59 AM // 10:59

holy crap you guys.... Im stuck at about 150ish most of the time. Broadband in the UK is so much slower than loads of other places, and tonnes slower than it claims to be!

Your FPS (frames per second) not your ping.

distilledwill · Aug 04, 2008, 11:33 AM // 11:33

oh. then disregard my statement. my bad!

Crimson Flame · Aug 04, 2008, 01:55 PM // 13:55

It depends. I usually get 20-25 but yesterday in presearing I hit 65.

The forth fly · Aug 04, 2008, 02:53 PM // 14:53

NF=20/40 Factions 30/40 Prof=45+

wesman · Aug 04, 2008, 04:39 PM // 16:39

Well I am running the game on a laptop ATI X1400 most setting on medium but with high textures and 1040x1680 resolution (nice for a 15 inch laptop)

I average around 30-35 fps, though some of the NF areas with tuns of water falls do bring that down a lot.

Alastair · Aug 04, 2008, 05:07 PM // 17:07

I haven't paid much attention to it, but while looking at my ping yesterday I saw 91 FPS.

Laptop - 10-20 in PvP/EotN/NF, 25 Factions, 30 Proph on Minimum/Almost minimum. Intel Core Duo T2250, integrated graphics 128RAM, 512RAM DDR. Craptastic.

Normal PC - everywhere 60-70 (vertical sync), except for large AB/HA where it sometimes hits 50. Max details and 4x AA, 1240x1024. Intel Dual Core E2160, GeForce 8500 512RAM, 2GB RAM DDR2. Not that bad.

zamial · Aug 04, 2008, 05:48 PM // 17:48

I have hit 400+ in certain areas. I am running 2 8800gt's in sli. 1400x900. aa x4. maxed graphics on everything. With vsync a solid 60 all the time.

Some food for thought:
Your Fps seldom needs to be over the monitors refresh rate. lcd=60/ crt=75. That is how fast the screen re-images itself. The human eye can not normally see the "flicker" at above 32 fps, as that is the speed of a hollywood movie. There is a debate that when "near death" the human eye can see upwards of 700fps but that is hard to prove/disprove.

If you average over 60/75 fps, you are money ahead to use vsync. If not vsync should not do much of anything.

Agreed with this last part. It's completely unsupported by, you know, facts, but when I turned vsync off on my laptop I noticed a 5-10 fps jump in performance.

Aera · Aug 04, 2008, 07:32 PM // 19:32

75 with Vsync, ~350 without.

Oh and there is no reason to turn vsync off other than benchmarking. Or destroying your monitor.

Don Doggy · Aug 04, 2008, 07:36 PM // 19:36

I should have been more specific. My frame rates rarely hit 30, so I didn't think I'd be doing too much damage by turning vsync off.

gremlin · Aug 04, 2008, 09:55 PM // 21:55

I am always curious about the importance of very high frame rates, once it reaches a point where movement appears smooth whats the point.

If 2 people are running across the map one at 200 fps and one at 50 I doubt the 200 will run any faster in game and lose the other one.

If it where so then we would all want our fps to be as high as possible to get an edge in the game.

But if graphics are smooth and the controls don't lag when you perform actions why worry.

Hyper.nl · Aug 05, 2008, 08:42 AM // 08:42

60 with v-sync on a TFT
1920x1200, 4x FSAA, everything max/quality.

QX9650, 4GB DDR3, GF8800GTX, non-oc.

Vic · Aug 05, 2008, 10:38 AM // 10:38

vsync on - 60 everywhere (best gfx)

vsync off - ~350 in some places

Molock · Aug 05, 2008, 05:02 PM // 17:02

Max graphics 45-130 FPS. I don't know why but my computer certainly doesn't like stability. 45 FPS could be in an empty district and 100+ FPS could be in Kamadan ad1. My PC is.. weird.

zmallex · Aug 05, 2008, 05:13 PM // 17:13

I have about 75 FPS with all max graphics with highest resolution. But that's with a pretty good machine.

Without sync I have about 200.
