The startup profile detailed below disables tons of features that are known to have a massive impact on frame rate and overall performance by making FG look plain bad and crude, as such, it gives you a rough idea of the maximum performance fgfs is able to achieve on your system - which in turn, allows you then to re-enable individual settings one-by-one, and see their impact on framerate/performance - so that you can determine which settings are particularly problematic - so that you can decide to come up with a custom profile to make the 60-100 fps goal for example - as you can see, on my 2009-era laptop, I could hope for ~790 fps and 3ms of frame spacing when in the "ugly" mode - so by hand-picking my settings and tweaking them as needed, I am regularly getting beyond 50 fps, even with 75-85% of eye candy enabled, with fairly moderate GPU hardware | |||
