Edgar,
I attempted to keep all settings/details consistent in the comparison, in order to be comparing like with like.
This is all being done on a 4x3 monitor, so the 1.1wide is set for 1280x720x16 with the monitor set to 'remember'!
MA2 has both wide and normal set to Default System Resolution (1024x768x16) and using Ctrl+W for change over.
I have already said that I have tried using the same older fish in both, - to no advantage.
The fps I have already quoted were all for the 'wide' versions.
MA2 (latest) 23/24 fps
1.1wide .... 31/32 fps
The comparison of MA2 normal (4x3 full screen), with 1.1 (none wide 4x3), both at 1024x768x16, are as follows:-
MA2 (latest) 26/27 fps.
v1.1 ....... 32/33 fps
AMD K6-II 500MHz / Windows 2000 Pro / GeForce FX 5200 Ultra (nVidia 52.16) / DirectX 9.0b / Sony flat screen CRT
The video card settings are consistent for all:-
Image setting = Quality
Antialiasing = Off
Anisotropic = 8x
Direct3D Mipmap = Best image quality
OpenGL Vertical sync = On by default
MA2 'S' key reports ... VSyncCLAMP
