What's odd is that FRAPS displays about 80-90 FPS, everything as high as possible, 1920 x 1080 -- yet randomly dips down to about 30 FPS for no apparent reason. Like I'll literally just be crafting away, and then it dips. Not sure if it's a programming issue or something on my side. Never noticed this in other games, and before I have a chance to move around and get a feel for the 30 FPS in Xsyon ( since every game performs a little differently from 30 to 60 FPS ), it's back up to 70-80.
Saw this with the ---
Phenom II X4 @ 3.8
4 GB RAM
5850 2GB Toxic Edition
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
computer. I haven't had time to test it out on my high end set up yet. Does anyone else get those weird, random 'dips' in FPS?
Also, for the OP -- if you buy a new graphics card, be warned that you need to make sure if it's AGP or PCI-E, and also how much power you need to run it. If I'm not mistaken, the 9400 ran on a PCI-E slot.
I've noticed a huge difference finally playing on high settings and receiving 40-60 fps generally.
I've gone from 18-20 FPS on lowest possible settings to 40-50 with most settings maxed out.
well if you could save up a tiny bit more..
