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)

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. There are probably some people that can see 35 and others that can only see 25.

yeah above 30 fps you cannot distinguish between frames any longer so it looks like one smooth "motion picture" ;)

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

I have a 500 mHz iMac with an old 8 meg ATI card, and it runs fine on my comp.

I have almost everything set to medium, and I get descent framerates.

I have a 5 year old Gateway that rarely gives me over 20 fps. I don't know my graphics card but I have a pentium 450 and 128 ram just to give you an idea of my how low end my computer is.

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. Other people with similar systems seem to be running way low for some reason.

I don't know what's up with mine but I am almost constantly stuck at 20 fps or below. I can only get above it if I look at a walls and don't move in certain levels. Even then its not above 40.

GeForce 4 MX 440. I hate it. I have a sweet computer and the video card holds in back in certain areas. It will be the first thing I upgrade.
