[Carnage]

Heh. I have found my new purpose in life, to bring up old threads. Thank you for your hint, but yes, I saw the date, just thought it would be interesting...

I think I'm bringing up an old one again?...

I nominate Carnage for the weekly "I need a time-out" prize.

A short review of this competition:
each week we nominate a candidate which abscence from the forum for a week would most benefit the community.

Posting is not a right, it is a priviledge. Use it wisely.

Just to be a jackass and inflame the penis measuring contest, I get 1300fps with my 8800gts on gentoo. usually average around 900 during online play.

THat's it? Man, I just fired up my new old desktop with Kubuntu and got 1.4 x 10^3 fps in an online game, and topped out over 2.0 x 10^3 in local game, with all the bells and whistles turned on.

I figured the fact that I got that on hand-me-down hardware definitely indicated nothing overall about my penis size.

Yeah, because Arma's shader complexity is so low that it is practically non-existant, many of the newer cards' extra transistors that are mainly there to accelerate massive multi-texturing and pixel shader effects are wasted.

Lucifer: what CPU do you have in that system again? I'd wag my penis along with yours, but to get numbers that beat yours, I have to stretch the definition of "all the bells and whistles" a tiny bit (no mirroring, HUD disabled).

I ran at 1024 x 768, and it was an 0.2.8 version but I don't remember which one. The one that comes with kubuntu.

... Let's not be going on about this too much longer. If it'd make you feel better, start a system specs thread, similar to the desktops one.

Sorry about my imaturity, I've grown up now, hopefully.
