DF General Discussion / More FPS or lowered expectations?
« on: June 16, 2010, 01:22:14 pm »
I recently bought a new computer. It's a netbook, so I never expected it to be ultra-fast, but IMHO the hardware is not that bad: a dual core CPU, some new Nvidia ION card... yet right after embark it rarely goes above 20fps, usually hangs around 5, and I haven't had an established fort on this machine yet.
The laptop is Asus 1201N, you can see the full spec here: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=sZ0sI6WqjnCHGFta
I'm not a hardware expert but it just seems I could get more fps... I tried all print modes and various versions, without much difference. ACCUM_BUFFER seems to be the fastest, it reaches ~30 when staring into underground nothingness and literally nothing happens in the game.
Is there anything I can do to improve the framerate?
