OT - Frame Rates with GWX

12-27-06, 07:47 AM

Just out of curiosity I wanted find out what my frame rates were like while in external camera mode in port and out at sea. I'm running the GWX mod and I have found while in port with all the activity going on I'm running about 18 to 24 FPS, but when I venture out to sea I'm running pretty much double that at 42 to 48 FPS. The interior areas run about 10 FPS more than previously specified.

From a hardware poiunt of view what components help boost the FPS figure? Is it a combination of RAM, Mobo, CPU or Graphics Card? Or is it a particular compenent such as the GPU?

Current Spec

AMD 64 3500+ 2.1Ghz
Corsair TwinX 1 pair of 512Mb modules (1Gb Total)
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
Asus EN7900GT TOP Graphics Card

I'm running a X800 Pro. I get the same as you in port, 18-24 FPS but at sea I can pull in about 80 - 100 FPS. This is with the AA/AF + Textures maxed out on the card settings.

Try and enable your cards Adaptive AA you should see a boost in performance.

There is really nothing in your setup which is pulling down your performance.

If you want better frame rates in the harbors, you can enable the 'Lite Harbor Traffic Mod' as well, FYI.

I'm using a GeForce 7800 GS OC (AGP) on a high end system. Typical framerates I'm pulling are 40-80 zoomed in and 120+ zoomed out. (GWX with mods).

Probably the best way to raise your FPS would be to install 'Lite Harbor Traffic Mod'
