what's the average framerate...

Postby Moach » Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:34 pm

i'm just trying to figure out the average framerate of the FS community...

no benchmarking, just your average everyday FPS


sorry if this has been done before

mine is usually just above 10, every once in a while it spikes for just a second to like 23, then plummets to 1 or 2 then back to normal. But, my new comp will be ready tomarrow or saturday... hopefully... If not, then Im moving to a cave.

Mine is locked at 25 also, but depending on the airport it gets no lower than 15.

This is a very tricky question to answer.  Its only at busy airports I drop down to 22, once airborne it goes way up and then depends on what angle I look at the plane.

I will put in what FS-GS worked out my average FPS to be I think.
AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB
MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset
1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2
XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200
80gig HDD

I only wish I could get above 15.. Every time I fly near Tacoma or downtown Seattle, I'll be lucky to see 10FPS. If I decide to take off from Kennedy International, 5FPS is about all I'll get.

Waitaminnit. I did get above 15 - but that's when flying in mountainous regions.

Flying in clouds: 10 or less.

Flying in clear weather: 25 or more ...


Flying when my comp. is just started up: 25 or more.

Flying when my kids have used the comp. all day: 15 or less. Yes, I restart my comp., and yes, I use FS autostart (when I'm not downloading anything).

Do we hear anything of your research?

I have my fps set to 30, and in with clear skies, or very few clouds and in 2D view I can get 27-29. In the big cities, heavy weather, or views other than 2D, usually 10-20  ;D

I actually get quite a lot of frames (around 90-95 even in the most demanding places, such as KLAX with SimFlyers, Megascenery and Ultimate Traffic). But I'm getting an even better PC soon!

Cheers,

Locked at 24, see as little as 9 in some situations... I'd say an average of 14-18. But I need more RAM and a faster CPU...
