Yeah, I'm having no trouble. It plays smooth and sweet. I'm just
surprised that with my beast of a system that I don't get 60 fps. Even
on Tribes I get over 50 fps in most scenes!

Mine only ever shows 49 fps, which is weird.

This is something I'll have to look at. The modes file, though, showed
me like 16 modes (or more?), and I was able to go to 1600x???. It was
pretty cool and small! :) I'm at work now or I'd be sure about all of
this.

This might be my problem. I have an old Creative SoundBlaster Live card
that might also be giving me problems in Tribes. I think I'll buy a new
one and see what happens.

On that, I can go over 100 bmp's and it stays at 49 fps.

I'll get back to ya tonight.
