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...

Hey there. I have almost the same setup, except I have an AMD 3 gig CPU. All the games run fine. Loading is a little slow, with the number of mods that I have installed. I would say mid range.

I get 30 - 50 fps and it can drop under 20 (sometimes down to 10) - with o'c video card.

 

See my sig.

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.
