First time I played the game I was using a geforce 4 mx440 64mb and I would get like 10 fps walking around, with my 9800 pro (and I just ordered an x800 xt pe this week <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) I easily get real nice fps. (75 constant fps most of the time, FYI monitor's vsync rate is 75 max)
My FPS were awesome, I'd get about constant 60, and it'd look real nice (with foliage and stuff)(on my Radeon 9200 AIW), but it'd skip all the God damned time, so I had to make it look like **** anyway.

BFRs are pretty idiot-proof; its near impossible to make one fall over. Unfortunately when something is made idiot-proof there will always be a better idiot.
