Is 40-60 fps right for this rig?

[duddley]

Hi, I just put parts together and I'm wondering if this 60 fps(out of combat)/35-45 fps (when in combat) is where I should be for 1280/1024 AAx4?

x2 5200+
evga 8800GTS(640mb)
2 gig 667mhz ram
7200rpm hd
Windows Vista 32bit

It seems like I've heard alot higher fps from other ppl. Any Idea what my problem is, or is this about where i should be?

thanks, Dustin

Got the 163.75 drivers?

dude those framerates are fine man, u can actually see wat ur doin and framerates that are above 40 are smooth enuf that u can aim, battle, dodge, u name it...my framerates : on average about 12-16ish

[duddley]

says driver version: 7.15.11.6369 , but I could have sworn I dloaded the 163.75 from the website. Am I perhapse looking at the wrong driver?

Ya, I know they're not bad, I've just seen a lot higher and I don't wanna be doing something incorrectly and break my rig.

FPS is fine ... i guess for amd X2 5200+ 35 FPS in combat is ok. (i suppose a core 2 duo of the same price would get about 10 FPS more since UT3 engine is more friendly with Intel .... and also you're running vista...)

Actually, I think you should be delighted to get those framerates with that rig.

Ya, I just looked and 163.69 is the latest out for vista 32. the 163.75 is for xp or maybe the 64 bit. If anyone finds differently pls send me a link.

I think I could live without AAx4, that should up my rates a bit.

Thanks for all the help.

overclock the cpu and you get a significance boost

im running e6600, 2gb corsairs pc 800, 8800 gts 640m on xp with everything maxed out on 1280x1024. i get max around 130fps min 45fps, o and u have to edit the gameengine.ini file to show maximum fps, becuz its locked to 62 fps by default.

[Brutal]

yeah with better processor you'll get better fps

...be sure do also disable smoothframerate in utengine.ini or youll be capped at 60fps - here's the bench proggie too http://utforums.epicgames.com/showth...=1024x768+only
