Or fps

[cnw_lover2]

Hello,
It's been an issue with me for a while now, but in regular MSTS I'm getting around 50-60 fps on any route, but in OR that drops to 5-15 fps. Is there something I can do to fix this fps drop problem?

Thanks,
Max

Disregard, I figured out my problem.

Hello,

What did you do to figure out your problem? I am curious to know.

Thanks.

I read in the FAQ that ORTS runs by using only Video, so if I have low FPS, then I need an updated Graphics Card.

Please post your video card specs. If you are on the lower end of the performance spectrum, turning off Dynamic Shadows will improve FPS performance significantly.

I turned off Dynamic Shadows, it greatly improved my FPS.

What's your graphic card? Or whats the recommended graphic card to run OR, or newer simulators top notch above 50fps?

Or whats the recommended graphic card to run OR above 50 FPS

From the FAQ on the OR web site

We have the following recommendations for the MINIMUM System requirements:

Operating system - Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32bit or 64bit)
Processor - 2.0 GHz or faster
Memory - 512 MB system RAM; Recommended 1GB+
Graphics - Recommended 256MB dedicated video RAM (Pixel Shader 3.0 will deliver better visual performance); However I would bump this recommendation to 512MB to get the kind of FPS you are looking to achieve
DirectX® - version 9.0c
Hard Drive - 40MB in addition to your MSTS installation
Sound - DirectX® 9.0c compatible

My graphics card is better than a 512MB, although I can't remember nor can I find what it is.

Thanks for the info. But one other question: Will it support cards that have different shading names above 2.0 like this saying "Microsoft DirectX 11 Support
DirectX 11 GPU with Shader Model 5.0 support designed for ultra high performance in the new API’s key graphics feature, GPU-accelerated tessellation."

If its is any help ??????. I use OR with a Radeon 5870 (ASUS P6X58 Deluxe MB) and in another machine a Nvidia GTX 560 SOC (ASUS P7P55DE Premium MB). OR works well on both machines. The simulator also works a good deal better on a quad CPU machine. OS is Windows XP 32 bit.
