it was put to my attention recently that if you have a better graphics card, you can play much better and thus get a better rank. I can barly run this game with my 400 mhz pentium celeron and nvida riva 128, and i have only won about ten duels.so my question is what kind of graphics cards do you guys have (because i want to see if my theory is correct) _______________ "this is Icco.

anything from 60fps and up is just fine. Everything below will make it "lag" a little. The lower fps, the more fps-lag.
Your eye can see 33.333333 fps, so why have more? Because of some weird reason, you can feel it. So even though your fps is constantly 33.33333 fps, you will still experience a bit of lag. For my self, I'm running: 700@900mhz Duron 384 sdram pc 133 (rate: 2,3,2,3) GeForce 2 gts 32mb win2k + refreshrate fix and I have about 15-30 fps on the academy map (less fps on other maps), with mIRC, openoffice tray, and winamp running in the background, and every graphic detail at minimum in 640x480 16bit. This is how my autoexec.cfg looks like: cg_drawFPS 1 cg_drawTimer 1 r_colorbits 16 r_detailtextures 0 r_dynamiclight 0 r_picmip 3 vid_restart cg_brassTime 0 cg_drawRewards 1 cg_marks 0 cg_shadows 0 It's an old Q3 cfg, that dosen't tweak alot, but dosen't drop the fps when more people are entering the room (5 persons in a room dosen't make much more lag). -edit- forgot to mention, that OFCOURSE FPS DOES COUNT!

Well you do have to realize that we are all different, and he is an animator so that means he'd be using the cartoon show frame rate.

yeah above 30 fps you cannot distinguish between frames any longer so it looks like one smooth "motion picture"  _______________ make install -not war |

Just a little side note. I've got a friend in college for animation and I was mentioning some things to him about framerate. Apparently the human eye can only see 30 frames per second. I don't really know how well it translates into the game framerates though, I do notice skips occasionally though on mine when its at 20 fps though and much fewer when it holds at 30 _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

196 Megs SDRAM Nvida Riva TNT2. I run at 1024/768 Full detail in JO, and usually rank in at 45 FPS, which is beyond film quality. So I honestly can't tell you exactly what framerate you should be getting. Mine is good, especially considering my video and RAM.
