nearmiss Wrote:Got to thinking about all this and wondering what is the purpose of using the resolution that your monitor supports?
Currently using an X800 card, AMD 3700+ 64bit, 2 gig ram
Move resolution in conf.in back to 1024x768 turned off the perfect landscape and bumped up my FPS 20+
The screen looks the same, except the text on the screen is kinda big.
Maybe this will screw up the monitor or something.
If anyone knows of something this might harm in my system, or if it won't work well then I'm ready to read what you have to say.
Otherwise, to heck with it. If the FPS can be bumped up this significantly it makes sense to do it.
A new computer is planned nearterm, but I'm in no hurry at this point.
I forgot to mention my monitor is a X241W = 24"LCD Monitor
Changing the width = 1920 x height = 1200 (native resolution) The FPS drops 20+ points to around 15-17 FPS vs 38-40 FPS @ 1024x768
Not arguing here by any means. I would love to have it work at higher FPS in 1920x1200 res.
I also did all the changes in the conf.ini you recommend on first posting. ALso, disabled the Vertical sync.
