I am trying to determine whether I am CPU bound or Video card bound with this game. My LCD panel is 1280x1024, so that is the resolution I would like to play at. I am using FRAPS to get an idea of where I'm at. I turned VSYNC off just for the testing
800x600, Low, NoAA, Low - 36 FPS
800x600, V.High, 4xAA, High - 28 FPS
1024x768, Low, NoAA, Low - 38 FPS
1024x768, V.High, 4xAA, High - 23 FPS
1280x1024, Low, NoAA, Low - 37 FPS
1280x1024, V.High, 4xAA, High - 17 FPS (BIG DROP HERE, I think Video card is maxing out here?)
I am not seeing a gain in FPS by lowering resolution. Does that mean my CPU is holding me back for the most part?
