It seems the latest beta has made some improvement for lower end machines and perhaps machine with integrated graphics cards but from what I have seen from other posters with similar specs to my own machine, we are getting lower performance.



Using the Get to the River level I went from 45 - 60 FPS (maxed out settings) to 15 - 25 FPS (moderate settings). So yeah, not just you.



That said, I can still do a far amount of testing in simple levels with workable FPS. I don't think we can expect to build anything too significant for a while. Best way to spend your time right now, in my opinion, is to start preparing your assets or updating older model packs with the new shaders (creating _S, _N textures where needed). At least then when performance issues are improved you will be ready to go.

I believe a GF 640 based system qualifies as a gaming PC, however, I was getting the same/better performance on a computer using an integrated Intel chip.



I found out that on my laptop, which has a feature that allow it to switch between the integrated GPU and my GF 670M to save power, Reloaded was not causing my laptop to use the GF 670M. It was always running under on the integrated Intel chip. My performance improved tenfold when I forced it to use the dedicated GPU.



To see if this is the thing damaging your performance, right click on the Reloaded program icon/shortcut and click "Run with graphics processor >>" and select your GF 640. It's the third option.

With a lower end GPU, you will be getting quite low fps initially.



The GT family of NVidia cards might struggle with the early BETA's of reloaded.



I think Lee and the rest of the team will be working heavily on performance. Until then, just turn all the shaders, light rays, and shadows down.

Shadow batching will be my next performance target for attack. It essentially renders the scene four times to create those shadows, so I am sure we can economize quite a bit there!

Is it normal for the polygon bar to be full even when the polycount it VERY low (still full on 2k)?

Yeah... I get 15-20 FPS on default settings, and 35-45 FPS with everything cranked to low. My machine was built for high end gaming.

thanks for the reply...



I understand, so we have to wait for future updates to improve performance, but do you think my computer has the requirements suitable for playing FPS creator with standard quality?

@insomi



As you are running MAC no one will be able to tell you if you will ever be able to run FPSCR reliably you are not using a supported operating system setup.

Games in a virtual environments are always slower just depends if your system can squeeze enough power out to run FPSCR.



Please stop repeatedly asking on multiple threads no one will have a better answer to this right now as FPSCR is in beta.
