88 without anything
104 with Use FPU

Athlon XP 2400+ / X1600PRO 512Mb / catalyst 7.5 (when I'll update the drivers I'll post updated results if I dont forget )

looks cool but yes it still has glitches:

I hope you can see what I'm talking about, the moving parts of the scene leaves a trail on the reflection, like the background get copied only the first frame, then the character get copied without updating the background...I hope i was clear enough

VISTA & GL ...

Sounds like broken ATI drivers under XP

50FPS and looks best here with OpenGl (GeForce4)

Before you say that, look at my post.

I just think it's the card and not the software, maybe I'll have a look for better drivers, you never know there may be some out there for vista.

working on another Version - seems the rendering buffer is not cleared on every driver - hmhm looking into this!

And thx ! =))

before i installed the drivers from nvidia instead of the normal vista ones i barely had any hardware acceleration, so try to install them

Ok, thanks for the info about not having good performance, I'll try and get better drivers from ati now that I know Vista might not be the best ones to have.

Full scene about 70 fps on a Dual Core HP NC4400 laptop with Intel on-board chipset (945GM Express).

I seem to have the latest drivers so I guess I'll just have to put up with slow graphics.

Ok tested again with Catalyst 7.8 and nothing changed.

New Version inc ( Including DirectX Method - which looks sadly alot nicer due to more Support in Render Methods ) . And fix - tho the Rendering Support will change for OGL aswell once Irrlicht 1.4 is implemented ( Mike's working on it ). Currently trying to track down the GUI error in 1.05 - stay tuned.

EDIT: easy Derek wait for the Shader Version - that one should run like a Rocket on that card.

Spent the last two days trying to get CCC from ati to work with vista, gave up after ballsing up the whole system, did a restore and lo and behold the first thing that got installed was CCC.

Will try the examples again tomorrow, when I get home from work, and hopefully I will be able to get a better framerate.

Looks great here - IBM thinkpad with integrated Intel graphics.

btw, (real dumb arse question alert!) how do you determine what fps you're getting?
