This seems not good compared to other people with similar specs, any suggestions would be welcome. :?
Cityman,

Try running the benchmark with 2xFSAA or 0xFSAA (Anti-Aliasing). I hate to say it, but that 9500 is probably limiting you quite a bit, ESPECIALLY with 4xFSAA turned on.

Try that, let me know how it goes.

I've yet to see two tests that ran the same settings on the same processor with one ATI and one 8800?

Not sure you can draw that conclusion. :P

(I really don't care, but still...)

I'm not seeing anything unusual. The benchmarker doesn't always seem able to distinguish between the various 4800's and people are using a variety of settings, OS, and drivers.

Plus I had a friend overclock a 9600 GT and score better in benchmarks and some games than my 8800 ultra.
Until we cranked the resolution up :)

I would expect 4870's, particularly the X2's, to beat 8800's of all types simply because the whole ATI 4800 series came out much later than Nvidia's 8000 series and benefited from advances in tech during that time (such as a smaller die process among other things).

Regardless of which cards are 'better' (a major discussion on its own) these benchmarks will give us a good idea of how the current range of hardware setups are performing, and might even help Egosoft in the development of future patches :)

the minimum FPS drops down a mine shaft to 8 FPS went when i changed to the beta Nvidia 180.43 drivers.
The latest drivers I got for my Nvidia Geforce 5700 is 6.14.11.7519

When playing X3R I had to reduce the speed of the accelerator because the game could not keep up with it.

I would like to point out that those of you with 22" and 24" WS monitors really don't know what you are missing when you decided not to buy a 20" 1600x1200 screen. I use a 24" ws as secondary because it's just not the same :P

Not bad but I'm guessing my GPU is the bottleneck, but once I've upgraded that I'll want a better PSU and bigger TFT so I'll leave it as it is for now.

I thought mine would be better. I know my computer is on the lower end of gaming rigs, but still. I have not noticed that much lag in my game yet.

[EDIT] So I went to EVGA's website and flashed an updated BIOS for my card and got almost 10 fps boost. I'm a little bit happier with this, but if anyone has another suggestion let me know, ty.

Hi, all--

I've noticed that turning down the texture RES down to medium makes a big difference in game playability, especially in a big firefight in any sector with large stations. In the demo results below, I've got a 25% difference in average framerate, and it's all due to "Build" and "Think".

AMD Opteron 185 @ 2.6GHz, eVGA 8800GT, 2GB RAM, MSI 7220 MB.

Still not brilliant but an improvement. Didn't realise the 9500 was a crap card, not had this pc very long will have to look at a graphic card upgrade. Thanks for your advice.

My rig doesn't meet the minimum requirements for TC. I figured if it can run XTM OK, I would be able to play TC. The game is playable, just.

CPU core temperatures climbed up to 65 degrees but it wasn't a big surprise. Now, if this game had better multi-GPU support....
