jetjak73 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Hey all. i just wanted to get a third-party opinion as to what sort of performance i should expect from my PC running Thirdwire sims. I am currently getting what i would classify as "low-middle" performance. Standard FPS is in the 30's to 60's with drops to under 20 in certain demanding situations. Specs: Intel mobile motherboard 1.8Ghz Intel Core Duo CPU ATI Radeon Mobility X1600 with 128 VRAM 2 Gigs of PC5300 RAM On-board Sigmatel audio LCD display seemingly locked to 60hz refresh rate (Truth be told, my machine is an Intel iMac running Windows XP SP2) What do you think? Bottom-range? Middle-range? Your opinions on my machine's suitability for Thirdwire sims, LOMAC, and IL-2 welcome... Thanks... Edited January 31, 2007 by jetjak73 Quote

All the games run fine. Loading is a little slow, with the number of mods that I have installed. I would say mid range. Scrapper Quote
csb Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 I get 30 - 50 fps and it can drop under 20 (sometimes down to 10) - with o'c video card. See my sig. Quote
Fubar512 Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Your graphics card is the weak link. A fully patched, SF-based sim really takes off with a decent DX9.0c compliant grahics card that has at least 256 mb of VRAM. Quote
