Here are some tips to speed up your fps:
First: Make sure you have your latest video cards drivers. If you havn\'t done this in a while (or never), its likely that your drivers are out of date unless you have a pretty new video card. This is very important. Geforce owners can get these
here. If you don\'t know what video card you have, in windows, hit start -> settings -> control panel -> system -> device manager tab -> display adapter. What shows under that is your video card. You may have to do some web searching to find your cards latest drivers.
Second: Turn off everything in the background using ctrl+alt+del except for Explorer, Systray, and your internet connection. What shows up for your internet connection varies depending on what service you have I think. For me its Rnaapp, this might be the same for everyone but I doubt it.
If all else fails, I think that means you need an upgrade.
Also don\'t forget that this is just a test right now. It hasn\'t been optimized, so low fps is just a thing to deal with for now, until its optimised.
Those thing\'s help me out alot.. and I\'m only running an Athlon 850, with a TNT1 16 mb, 398mb sdram and a lowly 4gb hd. I get probably 11 or 12 fps, but thats not bad considering how old my vid card is and how good the game looks.
