Combat frame rate tested in Mission "Arctic 2"

Setting | Frame rate in combat | Comments

LOW 800 x 600

Fluid - no pauses or hesitation. A circle-strafer's dream!

MEDIUM 800 x 600

Slight (1/2 second) pauses to load scenery when you run at full speed. This must be due to my low system RAM - 64 meg - because on P.C.'s system with 128 MEG RAM there were no pauses at all. The frame in combat was silky smooth.

HIGH 800 x 600

Not much speed difference from MEDIUM setting. Eye candy significantly better.

Frame rate will probably dive in the later missions where there are dozens of Mechs on screen.

ULTRA HIGH N/A

Selecting this option caused my computer to hang. Possibly the program was attempting to activate hardware features not present on the Banshee 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator Card?
