SFvWOV Frame rates?

[stevee620]

Hi all,

I just wondered how strike fighters compares with wings over vietnam as regards frame rates?

I have just bought wov, and it plays fine, really smooth, until i get into a hectic area. Then the frame rates plummit.

Is there much difference in the two?

System roughly,

Athlon 1700+

768ram

128 Nvidia graphics card.

Thanx.

SF & WoV are rougly similar, with WoV being a bit more demanding due to the density of the North Vietnamese air defenses.

 

The biggest frame-rate killers in both sims (assuming a default install) are shadows & mirrors.

 

I recomend the following settings on your system, at 1024x768x32bpp resolution:

 

1) Shadows. turn them off unless you have at least an Athlon 64 3400+ and a GeForce 6800 GT.

 

2) Mirrors. turn them off also, unless you have at least a P4 3.0 or Athlon XP 3200 and a GeForce 6600 GT.

 

3) Cockpit Reflections. You're just at the point (CPU-wise), where you can safely run them assuming your GFX card is at least a GeForce Ti4200 or better.

 

4) Horizon distance. Set this to "Normal" on your system.

 

5)Set everything else to "High".

Thanx Fubar,

Will give those settings a try.

If i can download a demo of SF, i'll do that and see if its worth getting for the better frame rates.
