150 FPS in Unreal with a unclocked vanilla G400??? Is this correct?

[McRhea]

I get 150 FPS in Unreal with my vanilla G400 32meg card. Isn't that a little high? Don't get me wrong! I LOVE IT! But... isn't that a little TOO high? I use OpenGL. My system is a P3, 450MHz, 128Ram, 10 Gig...
None of it is overclocked. I get 150FPS with a unclocked card, and if I DO overclock it, I can get 198 FPS. I haven't been able to go over the 200FPS mark... Does this sound normal? What do most of you get?

Oh yeah, this is NOT Unreal Tournament... it's just Unreal.

Resolution? Color Depth? Quality Settings? Need more input...

[McRhea]

Resolution is 800x600... on a 17" monitor.
ALl the settings are turned on in the advanced menu, except for "slow video buffering", which is set to false. The textures and background are all set to high. Color depth is at 32. It runs without one hitch. I get 100FPS average while running around and shooting stuff.... is that great or what? I'm a happy Unrealer... Hehehe

Wierd,seems to me even with the g400 and my celery300@450,all I got was about 35fps.Good for you.

Ok, The 150FPS that i get is when i'm standing still. This also means that there are no flashing lights and such around. I get 100 FPS average... while i'm running and fragging everything in sight... That's pretty damn good, right?

On other thing, the game itself runs fine, but the HUD flickers the whole time. It doesn't flicker when it's in D3D mode...
It's really annyong to see the HUD flashing really fast all the time... is that a flaw with Unreal and OpenGL? If there is a solutioin, what can i do to fix it?

[DrFizix]

Wow! I'm going to have to try it in OpenGL!

The flickering HUD sounds like a buffering problem. I don't remember the details of Unreal's advanced options, but look in rendering or display for a triple buffering option and change its current setting and see what happens.

Hey McRhea,

cuold you please enter the console and type 'timedemo 1' ...

you'll see the fly-by intro together with some FPS counter showing high, low, average and actual FPS.

It would be nice to read those number.
