Sam Fisher Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I get about 150-200 FPS with my AIW Radeon 9700 PRO, & AMD ATHLON +2200 Processer. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacco Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 P4 2.3 processor with a 128mb nvidia G-force 4 graphics card. On UT 2003 15-32 fps with everything at medium to high levels of detail. Not too bad for a card that is ment for art and animation works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I've got an Alienware A-51 and the last game I checked my FPS on was JK2. Was running at 1600x1200 with the highest possible settings, and averaged between 275-300+ when by myself. With others, the lowest it fell to was 125, but that was with 15 other people playing.

GUNNER Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 300fps? Did you know the human eye can hardly tell the difference between 70 and 100. If you can get 300 you need to turn the res up from 480x600 or try turning on AA and Vsync. I have a P4 1.8A O/Ced to 2.7 with 512mg of Corsair XMS DDR3500 and a Leadtek GF4 4400 on a Asus P4PE board. It will play Counter-Strike at 100fps. The only game that matters.

GUNNER Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 fps = frames per second -or- first person shooter. But I think we are talking about frames per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoguePhotonic Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 How could you ever say what fps you get in most games?...it jumps around like crazy and just because you get a ****e fps doesn't mean your computer sucks...games suck also...they will lag at times because of the limits in their game engines... I run games with awesome graphics and no lag at all...then I load up one with horrible graphics and it lags like ****?...can you explain?...like I said the game engine.

Sith Maximus Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I run... ABIT KR7A-Raid 2000xp 512 PC2100 DDR (2) ATA133 7200 rpm Maxtor drives with 8mb Cache (Raid-0) Asus GF3 TI200 oc to 220/500 Fortissimo 2 Soundcard Entermax 450 wt psu Highly Tweaked version of Win XP Pro 130 FPS in JK2 with all max settinggs and default driver settings. 75 FPS in JA demo with all max settinggs and default driver settings. 175 FPS in MOHSH with all max settinggs and default driver settings. You should be able to get about 250fps if you have opted for the 9800 Pro as your graphics card. But the bottom line is you never really need to have anymore than about 100fps max. And 100 fps is a good number because that should take care of any dips in the framerate when you get lagged or bombarded with too many special effects at once. Personaly I feel a bit bad for you. You are spending 2.5x times what you need to on a pc of that quality. What I mean by that is the new Alienware machines are so expensive that you could have built it yorself and saved so much cash and all it would take is a bit of reading and a little elbow grease. Have fun with your new rig but remember my comment when the bill comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerd_Annhilator Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 The new white alienware laptop looks pretty sweet, but the specs are almost the same compared to the toshiba sattelite 5200 though, and thats one sweet laptop (bad battery life though ) EDIT: I just noticed my over-use of the word sweet. sweet...

Acrylic Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 My Comp Specs: Gateway (The brand...) Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz with Hyper Threading Technology 512 MB RDRAM 533 Mhz Front Side Bus ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 200 Gig HDD 18" Flat Panel LCD Monitor And I run everything on 1280x1084 Mmkay, i dont have Jedi Academy, nor any SW games. But, The last thing I cheked my FPS on was the Splinter Cell demo. I averaged about 80 FPS on that. And on a Rainbow Six 3 demo, I had full anitaliasing (6x) and antisotoropic filitering(16x), and the game ran smooth like butter. The game looked very nice, Anti-Aliasing is great, and makes things look so much better. As a matter of fact, I always run my desktop with those settings on all the time. I love it.

First off its great, except for battery life: 1. UPGRADEABLE graphics card yes I mean in the laptop 2. You can make it come with the best software available to MAKE and I mean FORCE the graphics to go the fastest they can on ANYHTING even if you don't spend a million on the processor 3. It really does get a lot of attention, even from the ladies BUT as I said before, if you keep the battery in tip-top condition, you get like 50 strait minutes of gaming (JK2). AND it costs a lot but I'm a spoiled bratt lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
