IM SCORING ABOUT 8890 IN 1024X760X32
AND ABOUT 9180 IN 800X600X32
AND I GET ABOUT 20 TO 30 FPS OR LOWER IN COMBAT,
90 STARING AT A BLANK WALL IN A CORRIDOR.

NEXT VICTIM~

CAPS LOCK IS KNOWN TO REDUCE FRAMERATE.

3DMark is for benchmarking DirectX performance. SOFII is an OpenGL game.

doh
 ignore the idiot behind the red curtain
   goes to show what i know...
    thanks guys

Well, if you're interested in benchmarking OpenGL performance, you might want to try Vulpine GLmark:

http://www.vulpine.de/en/index.shtml

57MB...Ouch!

Also all test in 3dmarks no matter the version, should be done with 1024x768x32

otherwise thier useless to compare with since thier not the default test run.

ran 3dmark 2001 @ 1024x768 - score: 9541

ran glmark 2 1280x1024 - score- average FPS: 85.3

SoF2 frame rate in pra3 (street - by the explosion): 10-30

SoF2 frame rate in pra? (countryside): 50-08

SoF2 frame rate in col8 (river landing zone): 10-30

and this is with the mp config- if played with default settings (fresh install); even lower FPS- no matter what-

ran vulpine
got an average frame rate of 98.4
everything maxed fullscreen 1027x768x32

if NOTHING else ,the problems this game has ,has made me get my system running like a top with all these tweaks and fixes and poo-poo.

vulpine - 1024x768 - 99.3FPS
3dmark - 1024x768 - 9436

SOF2 SP- 08-30 FPS (using mp config) in certain areas; but have achieved 200 FPS looking at walls or in calm areas- using defualt SP settings = much lower lows and lower highs on any setting including picmip 0,1,2 or 3- my system has already been listed on other threads in this forum but I assure you it's a gaming rig with a gf4 ti 4600-
 

I cannot understand why a bad ass card like the gf4 4600 can do 99 in Vulpine, mine does 67(gf3ti200) but so poorly in SOF2! I use Vulpine for checking out every new driver that comes out cause its results reflect pretty much how well I will be able to do in a game.(opengl) I still get the best fps when using a 23.11 driver although 29.42's are giving them a run. In SOF2,I bottomed out at 32 once with a bunch of enemy around in the jungle. So logic has it that you guys should never go below 60!! My average is in the 50's with 100 fps looking at a wall. On the bright side some of the walls have interesting textures!
I play at 10X7 32 but no anistropic filter as that will kill me! I did hear windows has a great game called solitaire!! No fps problems reported.
Ok not funny
