What polygon count should I aim for in a room for a 32 megabyte graphics card in a single view on average? I just recently figured out how to use the debugging feature in the fpsc "test game" mode to see how many polygons the game engine has to render, and I want to aim for around 25-30 fps on my pc. Besides my crappy graphics card, I have a fairly fast pc. 2 gigabytes of ram and a Pentium dual-core 2.8 gigahertz processor. Any suggestions?

FPSC requires a 64mb card as a minimum, I don't think it will be capable of making something that runs well on a 32mb card.

It's not just the polygons that cause the lag, its the animation data and the script commands aswell.

Seriously,how much does cost a new card that is quite capable of running things? Ive payed 70€ for Geforce 9500gt with 1gb memory,even my old one for 35€ wasnt bad,Geforce 8400gs with 256mb memory.

I use a laptop:
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
512 MB ram
Nvidia GeForce4 420 go 32M graphics (32MB graphics memory)

I can get around 27 FPS (sometimes it goes to 1 FPS)

Just get a decent NVIDIA card from ebay.

Nothing to see here, move along please.

The problem is, I have a PCI standard port on my motherboard. I'm looking at a 128 megabyte graphics card. Will that work okay? I can't get any higher than 256, cause it requires a pci express output.

128mb is okay,I think the best idea is to pick a graphics card and show it to us here and we will tell you if its ok,only pro's here hehe.

EDIT: Ive just checked some PCI graphic cards and this Geforce 9400gt seems to be one heck of a card http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4369747&CatId=319

But if you are going for something cheaper then this is for you

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4104560&CatId=319

Even though its cheap,PCI and one of the slower models it has 512mb ram,DirectX10 support and Shader Model 4.0 which even the latest ATI graphic cards dont have.

But if you have quite some money and want a monster then heres one,should make FPS Creator x10 work atleast on some medium settings
