I'm just curious, of all the people that complained that they have been suffering from low/bad framerates, or are just having a crappy graphics expirence in the Spearhead demo, can you please post here what video card you have EXACTLY (Example: VisionTek Xtasy GF4 Ti4600, 128MB RAM). I think that people who are complaining might be using ATI-based cards.

Don't think it's an "ATI" thing. My frame rates sit right around 55 or 60. I would say the actual range is about 40 to 80 FPS. Heres my rig:

Athlon XP 1900 (1.6Ghz)
512MB DDR Ram
ATI Radeon 64 DDR VIVO (that's getting a bit old even!)

On a good server, it playes just fine. I didn't have to update any drivers to be able to play spearhead.

Eh, my friends could just be dumb then, they might of just put all their settings to full.

i'm running a 9700 and i do get kind of crappy fps. i'm averaging about a 70 when i should be cracking 110.....my friends have had trouble too. its probably just psychological.

LOL... good to see this is turning into a very informative post.
Anyway, I got to play some more TOW tonight and actually spent a lot of time in the 90's. My uber leet (almost 2 years old) 64DDR seems to be doing pretty good. I'm in XP and my system is very "clean", so to speak. I really don't think it's an ATi problem.

BTW I play 800x600 ( not that I have to, just like that size) and texture detail is set to "medium". Everything else is on to the max.

I've had ATI as far as I can remember.. till I got sick and tired of their bullshit incompatibilities with a lot of stuff...although their drivers lately have been great....still wouldn't go back to ATI xcept for their All-in-Wonder products...so I changed to Nvidia and I never looked back since.. Can't wait for the NV30. I'm on a G4 4400 and it is great...never had any problems with any games whatsoever..EVER.

a Radeon 8500 with 128mb. Fps in multiplayer 50-97. I do have settings on high and res set at 1024x768 (i think thats the right #).

Singleplayer is a different story... opening scene 10-25fps. Had to change my settings to play this. Its was horible until the smoke nade cleared.
