I just bought a radeon X800Pro and am getting frames in the teens whenever there is any action or near cities.

 

I have a 1 Gig of memory and a Pentium4 3.2.

 

If there's someone out there that could give me some tweaks or suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Use DriverCleaner to remove all traces of older video drivers.

-then install new drivers.

A reinstall of Windows can do wonders.

In regards to LockOn settings, Im sure other X800 users can give you some advice.

 

:) Enjoy your new card.

same as you with an AMD 64 3400+ 1gg ddr 3200 and gygabite X800pro

10280x1024 x6 x16 all setting to high some time frame down to 13 15 17 fps but it remains still smooth

Look at my sig adn you will see that my machine is similar to yours. And I also get very low fps when flying over cities. Flying low over large city, the fps drops down to 10!

 

It takes really strong CPU to play this game at full. I just hope 1.2 will be coded to fullly utilize dual core processors.

See this thread : http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=8177 and you will see with my system I am getting about the same. And I am most definitely not using all features to the max.

I am currently using Cat 5.3 as they have provided the most stability for all the games/sims I have.

What do you have your in game settings at Bug?

Nothing wrong with that sadly. The X800 buys you 1600x1200, x4fsaa, x8aniso, and a generally smoother ride (no doubt down to the 256Mb onboard buffering more textures). But frame rate over/near built up areas seems to be CPU-limited rather than vid card.

 

1600x1200 is very pretty indeed though; takes things one step closer to genuine virtual reality.

It seems that with lomac, either the GPU or the CPU becomes the bottleneck. In your case, the CPU would be the culprit.

 

You also, didn't mention if you're using AGP or PCI-Express. The newer high performance cards seem to prefer higher resolutions, but the catch is the CPU still has to keep up. And some may disagree, but IMO, INTEL chips are not delivering the same performance marks as AMD's.

 

Conduct an experiment and watch your CPU cycles ingame, noticing when and where it peaks. That will tell you if your CPU is struggling to keep up.

I've had one for a while now, the only drawback in power - I had to get me 530W , my old 300W poured out so much heat I could not stand it anymore.

I tweaked it the config , now even over a city I still don't get stuttering.

How did u tweak the config??? Do u still get pop-up of buildings??? What FPS do u get????
