    Post Framerate in Giants

    Can someone tell me how to check my framerate in Giants: Citizen Kabuto, it seems awfully choppy compared to everything else I've played since getting my GF3

    Wow, my framerates get downright horrible at times. Playing at 1024x768(the absolute minimum I play anything at) and without FSAA I'm getting an AVERAGE of 10-12 FPS on the base building map. Any tips?

    Cool

    It could be the Detonator 4 drivers 20.xx and up. One of their performance "features" was to really reduce performance in Giants apparently. An earlier set might work better.

    Cool

    HeHe no I don't think it does. It was supposed to be kind of funny and look real good but I think thats it. Oh well at least you didn't pay full pop for it.
