My settings:

Quote:

Plugin: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.7
Author: Pete Bernert
Card vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
GFX card: GeForce FX 5950 Ultra/AGP/SSE2/3DNOW!

Resolution/Color:
- 640x480 Window mode
- Internal X resolution: 2
- Internal Y resolution: 2
- Keep psx aspect ratio: off
- No render-to-texture: off

- Filtering: 4
- Hi-Res textures: 0
- TexWin pixel shader: on
- VRam size: 0 MBytes

Framerate:
- FPS limitation: on
- Frame skipping: off
- FPS limit: 50.0

Compatibility:
- Offscreen drawing: 2
- Framebuffer effects: 3
- Framebuffer uploads: 1

Misc:
- Scanlines: off
- Mdec filter: on
- Screen filtering: on
- Shader effects: 1/4
- Flicker-fix border size: 0
- GF4/XP crash fix: off
- Game fixes: on [00000002]

Peak FPS with those settings is about 120, so rather nice, however if I want to 'hyper level up', I switch to the following plugin and settings they are as ugly as sin, but with no sound, 400-800 FPS is very speedy!

Now I do hate to double post, but:

...eheh, defeated the Midgar Zolom for a measly 250exp | 25ap, though I did get Beta for my Enemy Skill Materia.

Tifa was killed, and Barret kicked off the screen. Thanks to Raziel for reminding me that if you have elemental materia+fire (You can only get elemental if you guess the majors question first time, thankfully the clues are super easy in the library!) on your armour, beta will do less damage

After finish watching the movie, I tried to install the game but it doesn't works on XP (But after 1.4 Patch is installed, the game works fine).

is side games at proper speed? and not like 400 times faster than it should be.. check the motorcycle area..

**hushypushy** · September 19th, 2005

hey CK, just a side note, i think you can get faster performance by using the standard OGL plugin...or maybe with peops soft

Slowly but surely trudging through 'post Costa del Sol', just running around to max out some more materia I've just picked up. Damn and blast, I have a cold which either leaves me layed in bed feeling crap, or playing this feeling less crap.....
