How fast does the FISH screen-saver run for you guys?

[jkdude]

hey guys,

i've been wondering how many frames per second (fps) you all get using the Sachs Marine Aquarium FISH screen saver.

with my 16 MB TNT video card, on a Celeron 450a, i get the following scores in the following resolutions:

640x480 = 80 fps
800x600 = 60 fps
1024x768 = 42 fps
1280x1024 = 30 fps

please post back what the scores you get and how fast your computer is and what video card you are using.

If you don't have the screen saver, you can download it from the FISH-BYE website or just click over

HERE for the file itself.


Thanks!

Did u guys get the fish screen-saver for free? I thought u have to pay money for it right?

btw Paulson, ur one funny dude!

 

[GreenBeret]

only if they're drinking straights
do you think they're thinking straight

 

[jkdude]

Greenberet, doesn't look like they are, hehe


so no one can find out how fast it is going for them???

 

[ManSnake]

jkdude

right on dude, you hit the jackpot! I had a little too much to drink today!

but I do think that Paulson is a funny dude!

 

[jkdude]

he may be funny, but he still didn't say how many frames per seconds he was getting

 

[ManSnake]

Didn't he say that it was so fast that the fish came out of the screen and that he wet his pants or something?

Hehehe... that is funny stuff!

 

[GreenBeret]

maybe that's because... he (read sig) and has proved that indeed, he knows good ways to get banned.

 

[ManSnake]

what? u get banned if u wet your pants or is it that u get banned if the fish came out of the screen? i am confused!

 

[GreenBeret]

nonono....

Read my sig. What does it say Paulson did? Let's just say it was a VERY effective demonstration.

Edit: Read more in the "Lesson" thread.

 

[ManSnake]

Oh, I got it! I am slow! I gotta go to bed and sleep now!

Too much to drink, bad choice!

 

[GreenBeret]

No wonder you think Paulson's a funny guy. You a "funny" guy or something?

 

[ManSnake]

Me? I am dizzy, I don't know what ur talking about, did Paulson get banned or something? I gotta sleep, ta ta, tomorrow!

 

[jkdude]

so, what are you guys getting with it?

 

[Helpless]

ugh...Wedesdo...where did you find the "resources?" I WANT 7 FISH!

 

[Helpless]

I, too, have 7 fish now
