Frame Rate?

[corvette k225]

So how do you get your Frame rate with this game???

[enaceo]

Do you mean "How do you see a displayed FPS on the screen?" or "How do you get better FPS" on this game?
For the first possibility,well,don't think you can do that without using FRAPS or any other program that monitors FPS.But I might be wrong.There could be some "console" or command line that could potentially do this.
If you meant the second thing,there's not much you can do except change the "texture depth" from the video menu .Nothing else that will influence preformance really.

I think Ctrl + F8 while playing will show your FPS. (frames per second)

Control+F8 to show FPS.

Well, it depends. If you're getting 60 FPS when there's lot of graphics to render (for example a busy harbor or an intense fighting scene in Doom 3 with lots of enemies) then that's good. It also depends on your screen resolution (can't change it in SH3 so it's irrelavent). It takes more processor power to render the same game at 1024 x 768 than at 800 x 600. And other graphic enhancers like AA (anti-aliasing - also missing in SH3), whether it's 2X AA or 16X AA (anti-aliasing smoothes the 'jaggies' so the graphics look smoother and more realistic) make a difference in frame rates. HTH.

You can change the resolution:

Does the colour quality make any difference? I have mine set to 16bit rather than 32bit, but not sure if it really has any impact on frame rates.

It shouldn't with a newer GPU.
Or well - it does have an impact; 32bit gives both better quality AND better performance.
Yeah, that's right - modern GPUs always render in 32bit internally. So if you want 16bit output, the rendered data needs to be converted to 16bit, thus giving you worse performance.

Are you making us all fools? 50 to 60?! That's beautiful! I get something around 15 to 20 and I have a good system. If you really get 60 in harbour then I wonder how rich you are that you can afford that kind of system.
