I gotta a new PC for crimbo, Runs FSX at 50fps on highest settings. I can't wait to try SS08.

It's only just started up because it needed a 650watt power supply and my old one was 450.
Specs:
AMD Athlon x4 630 Processor (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
4096MB RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 (Approx. Total Memory: 2423MB)

Me thinks this will be a great oportunity to take some great Picture Of The Month shots

Good man... another lost sale for Intel 

Congratulations on your posting milestone.

[Ozy783]

thanks, With my ATi set to optimal and shipsim set to it's highest graphics possible I'm getting amazing Fps.

Anyone know how i can check? (without fraps)

[Stuart2007]

Yes. If it flickers and stops. It's slow

If it doesn't and you're happy- it's fast!

What Computer type is it, you know, like 2000, XP, Vista, or 7?

By type...you mean Operating System 

[Ozy783]

Windows 7 Ultimate

(Dx11 is amazing)

Oh and for the FPS, 25 in hamburg
                            30 in Ocean

[Capt. Matt]

I get 60 in Marsielle  You have a better system I believe....I only run XP though 

[Ozy783]

Well I am running at highest possible settings

[Capt. Matt]

Aswell am I Graphics to the fullest 

[Ozy783]

Probably XP  :L

Did some testing with ATI presets with SS08 at highest possible including 20KM view distance:

Test Ship = P&O Ferry

Ocean
Optimal Quality        - 30FPS
Balanced                - 60FPS - Keeps at 60
Optimal Performance - 60FPS - Keeps at 60

Phi Phi Islands
Optimal Quality        - 27FPS
Balanced                - 47FPS
Optimal Performance - 46FPS

Hamburg
Optimal Quality        - 20FPS
Optimal Quality        - 26FPS - Without Max (Set to high)
Balanced                - 23FPS
Optimal Performance - 25FPS

Note I'm in a dence part of hamburg with loads of containers

I'm curious, how do you find your FPS?

[Ozy783]

I had to use FRAPS 

[Firestar]

Oh, that sucks. Fraps is the FPS murderer. I wonder if there are programs that will tell you your FPS ingame..?

[Ozy783]

some games like Crysis & FSX have FPS monitors built in. I don't think SS08 has it.
