Just for future reference, and to avoid any confusion, if you are using an fx5200, don't expect good performance on anything except the most basic render path in Sith2. Don't blame us, blame nvidia for sticking you with that POS.

Wow, I thought Massassi had somewhat reasonable sarcasm security systems.

I don't remember what FX I have. I hope it's a 5500 and not a 5200. *bites lip*

Can't you accept that you said something stupid and drop it?

Arguments are fun.

I did, but since you bring it up again...

I sincerely apologize for phrasing my comment wrong. I realize that this is a terrible sin and that the elitist gods of massassi will probably rape my in my sleep. My soul is racked with tormet for this terrible travesty which I commited. The very idea that I posted something which could be misrepresented as flat out bashing of id makes me cry. I apologize for sarcastically saying that id was not good at optimizng, and, admittedly, making a bad comparison to say that yes, in fact, the SITH2 team will certainly optimize their code. I hope that someday, through much weeping, gnashing of teeth, and many 'hail emon' prayers, I will be forgiven.

Better?

NOW POST PICTURES OF YOU ON YOUR KNEES, BEGGING.

BEGGING.

Hmm, could you elaborate on that?

I would, ut I think I've already blasphemed someone elses religion enough.

Pics soon to come.

I tried my hand at designing a new m2heater 3do. I'm quite happy with the results so far; it is much improved over the orginal, which was literally a box (6 surfaces). My version is 939 surfaces!

Looks just like the box spring for my matress.

Whoa overkill!

certainly looks like a heater grill -- that's what I thought it was before reading your post

This is for the theatrical rendering that you're doing in 3DS Max?

Wait... so if I have a GF4, should I expect even worse? Or is the fx5200 some sort of horrible ******* child of the new "low-end" industry? I'm not up on new nVidia cards.

I don't think that's a good thing actually... lol.

New nVidia cards? There are two newer generations than the one the fx5200 belongs to. And yes, your Geforce 4 actually IS better than the fx5200 (except if you have an MX model, which is crap).

Phew.
And yeah, my bro had a MX. The thing's just a prettier GF2.

Yes, it is. With graffiti on the wall in some places.

The level is being developed on the system I have at work which is a Dell Optiplex GX150 w/ a memory upgrade to 256MB.

In short, pay no mind to the frame rate. As long as the level will still render on my system, there's no reason why it won't be playable on anyone elses...
