I must say, I never thought that I would get to where I got such great
framerates with my system running PF on pretty much the highest settings.
First, I gained a lot by using the pci latency tweak program discussed here
earlier.
I then, disabled AA in the 9800 Pro 3d options. I really gained fps by doing
this. This running in 1280x960 resolution.
After disabling AA and running some flights, I increased resolution to
1600x1200. I didn't drop one, not one, fps by increasing the resolution. No
need for AA now.
So, my Pacific Fighters has now gone from stuttering in traffic, to no
stuttering. Framerates used to be - on the carrier, mid 20's, in flight from
inside cockpit 60's, and outside cocpit in flight 70's, to mid 30's to mid
40's on carrier, depending on position of plane - to mid upper 60's to mid
70's in cockpit, to mid to upper 90's outside cockpit.
System:
Athlon XP 2800+ overclocked to 3200+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe Nforce 2 mb
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb
1 gig of pc 3200 ddr ram.
Audigy2 ZS soundcard.
Hope this might help others who are having low frame rate/stuttering
problems also.
