Difference in FPS (nearly same spec)

hmm thats strange.. my system is the one on the left fyi but in either case again if your getting good fps and everything on max its a far cry from what my system is getting... its playable dont get me wrong since the mod but the scenery doesnt look pretty at all

BUT

still masses of difference between them and from the different resolutions ive tried NONE gave me 30-40 fps increase

There have been some indications that people with the Nvidia gtx4XX series cards are getting the most joy, whether that is irrespective of other hardware I don't know, but there is evidence mounting it seems.

p.s. I'm not even using the SSAO mod

[lensman1945]

well, mine is the system on the right....

Just the latest official patch installed..no mods.

The build is brand new..COD is the only program installed apart from TrackIR.

I doubt the SSD would effect frame rates..maybe just help with stutters?

the Phenom is o/clocked to 3.7Mhz

[Ze-Jamz]

Well obviously the processes running will make a difference and your SSD will make a slight difference but you say you havnet even got the mod enabled?

well before i installed that mod the game was pretty much unplayable unless everything was set to Low-Med gfx so thats confuses me even more..

I will say though ive since adjusted my resolution to what you were using and got to 40fps over Sea but it did look pretty shocking on a native 1920x1200 screen...8-10 fps increase from just removing spit mirror

[bongodriver]

Yeah that mirror is crap anyway, about as usefull as a chocolate fireguard in its current state.

[Ze-Jamz]

thing is we wont know untill the next patch, that should give us some clues..

I got this rig with the money i had available just after Xmas with this game in mind lol.. i mean upgrading to 64bit OS and maybe more ram is doo-able..Corsair is cheap enough for what it is=decent Ram but anymore than that i cant do not yet..

i just hope i can play it with looking how i want it to look and how i know it can from the vid's we have all seen without having to spend another 2-300 quids

[bongodriver]

well I guess by my own experience there is real hope for that, the patch really did make a massive improvement, and I find it hard to believe the suggestions the game code is inherently 'broken', at least we don't pay for patches.

Change resolution to see the difference.

Do both the systems have AERO disabeld that gave me a 10 fps increase in general.

I haven't touched Aero...I'm quite happy with the performance at the moment.
