do you have to run in a window. Does that slow things down as far a fps. "Guy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a31cdq$9kr$[email hidden]...

In open GL that's the only way and actually in most cases it increases fps , you will have to push the screen to the top in order to see the bottom buttons . only way to see is to try it yourself on your machine "Dennis Croll" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:X%W48.1363$[email hidden]... > do you have to run in a window.

If you use Open GL you cant, use D3D and you can Alt Tab "Dennis Croll" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:SuW48.1185$4t4.539@rwcrnsc54...

You can also set the task bar to drop down when not in use, this means the little bit of space at the bottom where the window normally sits ontop of is free, so you don't need to move it up. :-) Tim "Guy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a31hi5$li5$[email hidden]... > In open GL that's the only way and actually in most cases it increases fps, > you will have to push the screen to the top in order to see the bottom > buttons . only way to see is to try it yourself on your machine > > "Dennis Croll" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:X%W48.1363$[email hidden]... > > do you have to run in a window.

For some reason , yes i've tried different drivers etc. I get about 80 fps in D3d and about 45fps in OpenGL w. a GF2U. I've read that most run OpenGL. Charlie "Blake" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9KY48.63398$%[email hidden]...

D3D looks 'washed' out to me. -Larry "Charlie Buscher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ckh58.2165$[email hidden]... > For some reason , yes i've tried different drivers etc. I get about 80 fps > in D3d and about 45fps in OpenGL w. a GF2U. I've read that most runOpenGL.
