Oolite Bulletins

What are your typical FPS and what are your associated specs?
My low FPS might relate to my aiming issues in this thread https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=1700

FPS
Lowest: 4
Highest: 19
Typical: 12

PC Specs
2.3 GHz CPU
512 MB RAM
ATI FIRE GL2 AGP 64MB GRAPHICS
Ubuntu Linux
Oolite 1.65

Ouch.

I just started a new game. Facing Lave, with Lave.oxp installed, I got a pretty steady 30 FPS (with a low of 8 while stuff was being loaded). Facing away from the planet, 60 FPS. Jumping to Diso, I got a solid 59/60 FPS – although it had a peak of 70, which is weird, since AFAIAA the game should be limiting to 70 Hz (on a flat panel with no reported refresh rate).

The slowness facing lave is presumably mostly to do with the large number of ships added by lave.oxp, although it does seem that planetentities are relatively costly. (Hmm. To think about: LOD management for all those little three-pixel ship models..)

(PowerPC G5 @ 1.6 GHz, 1,536 MB RAM, GeForce 5200, 64 MB VRAM)

I get something similar with a 1.42GHz PPC Mac mini with a 32MB Radeon 9200 g-card. It's more than enough for a smooth gameplay.

I've heard that the ATI drivers for linux were poor, but that can't be right. Are you sure that the ATI drivers are loaded? It seems to me that you use some sort of generic VGA with software rendered 3D graphics.

I get between 19 and 30 FPS using the same setting as Ahruman.

My setup: 12" 1.2 GHz iBook with 1.25 gig ram, ATI Mobility Radeon 9200

Oops!
Forgot I had changed my graphics card recently.
Its actually an nVidia Card
ABIT Siluro FX5200 DT

I'll have to check whether I am using the correct drivers or not.

105 FPS!!

You were right, I only had the generic driver installed!

This sorted it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074

Docking without computers is suddenly much easier!

How can i measure it?

Press shift-F.

Around 25-30 on a Linux system with a 550MHz PIII in it. That's while rendering some pretty vertex-dense ship-interiors, too. The card's a basic 64MB PCI Nvidia card. The RAM is a mix-an-match of various scrap I've salvaged and some of it may not be even rated at the same speed as the rest!

The Ionics Mission corner in the ionic mission tends to hammer graphics rendering, a bit, for some reason. The Poerbook. with a 1.67GHz PPC and 1 Gig of RAM with a128 ATI graphics card, still leaves me with at least 60, on the Mac.

Sorry, given their locations, those may be not very useful stats, but those happen to be the places my pilots are, ATM, on both those machines, so I can only report what I can see. Both locations tend to hammer the graphics cards, a bit, and they're holding up well.

Normally I get a blissful 60 when looking...anywhere. When looking at lave with lave.oxp, i get 50. Maximum: 92

Ah, it feels good to be right. :^) It doesn't happen too often.

By the way, if you get 105 fps in oolite and have a decent internet connection, your setup should work beautifully with BZflag.

BZflag don't work very well on a Radeon 9200 Mobility. :^/

Hmm. Anyone remember Avara? :-)

Avara... That was a good game.

I've played BZtanks before too. Didn't like it too much, but the fps was really great.
