I have just recently upgraded my video card from an MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 with 128 Mb of DDR to a Sapphire Radeon 9700 non-pro with 128 Mb of DDR and a driver version 3.2
I was expecting a huge increase in my FPS and much better ability to handle complex terrains such as cities and the like.
Much to my chagrin the FPS seems to have gotten worse.
I run my machine at 1024x768 with all detail on full and my target fps set to 30.
Strange as it may seem I actually get slightly better results but still not good enough when I run at 1600x1200 and unlimited target fps the fps still hovers at about 17 in cockpit view.
The rest of my machine is an Athlon 1900+ with 768Mb of DDR and a SB Live Value for a sound card.
Can anyone suggest the magical setting or solution that will provide me with the stellar frame rate that I expect and deserve
