    the maximum framerates is limited to 25fps. so you cant not compare to others here. only way to do the comparation is to set up a very hard condition that every vid card can not reach 25fps, which is impossible.

    Sure it's set to max 25 FPS?
    Someone on the VN boards said he ran SOG at 1900x1920 with 60 FPS.

    Or maybe he is just bragging :)

    Hmmm well didn't know they had capped it , I was in on a borrowed pio early in the evening and it seemed alot better than 25 when flying away from all the starting areas, I'll watch it more carefully next time I get in.

    Sorrow, you forgott to mention the framerates you are getting with your High$ rig.

    Thats what I said didnt actually check the frames was running smoothly with everything wide open,  a little slow down in town but once I was flying it seemed to flow cleanly and smoothly.

    Next time Im in will actually watch frames and see what Im really pulling. If it really is capped at 25 its a very nice 25, but then again isn't standard TV something like 30?

    Um, you need a new video card, the GeForce II has NEVER been a gaming card and its years (I mean like 6) old now. I suggest you step up to the 6800 series.

    In all those wonderful details you neglected to actually share your framerate, which will be very interesting to know considering your hardware.
