Your system should be rockin'. What kind of framerates are you getting? Are you getting GP faults or what? Tell us more about your system so we can compare notes. Are you running UT in glide mode or what?

Yeah.. run the framerate monitor (console -> timedemo 1) or choose it from the tools menu in the UT GUI.

Run LavaGiant with 16 bots for about 10 minutes.. run all over the place.. let us know what your low/avg/high FPS is.

Hey Rooster, wouldn`t he get a better idea of his times, if he did the timedemo on the city intro. Controled no changing varibles?
just asking cause thats where I do my test from when comparing different drivers etc..Plus when comparing the times to other people differences such as maps standing in a hallway or looking into outer space don`t enter into the formula..

Va, probably - but I have the intro map off, and I've never checked it for framerate, and I'm a much bigger believer in testing what you'll actually be running (ie a map - and LavaGiant is a good test of frame rate).

Hell, before a game starts, I get 70-80fps at 1024x768 high everything. I don't know what would happen on the flyby.
