theres obviously something amis with the NV card, 5fps in both resolutions?

either way i prescribe nvidia some viagra, they have stage fright and cant get it up!

(on a more serious note.... maybe FRAPS is a cause for poor performance? i have seen it before with NV. i used FRAPS on the last splintercell and it tanked performance....SM3 or SM2, AA or no AA it it didnt matter, i got 20fps every time. got rid of FRAPS, problem went away, the game was markedly more fluid, i then updated FRAPS and the problem wasnt there anymore.)

Im suprised my posts have gone ignored, Let me make it clear (again) , This crappy Virtually Jenna program RUNS FINE ON NVIDIA HARDWARE IN OPENGL , legitreviews.com did something wrong because it runs well over 100fps no matter what settings I use in Opengl and im even using the SAME nvidia video drivers that they used in there benchmarks (91.47) , it wasnt related to FRAPS either because I used it to monitor my framerate.

Anyone with an Nvidia card can try it for themselves and will see what im talking about, just goto options and be sure its set on Opengl (it is by default) : http://www.virtuallyjenna.com/download.html

So, ah, I think the more pertinent question is - Is this game any fun? What about replay value? How many hours does it take to complete? Is it better than Half Life 2? :D

As for it's replay value... pretty much the same as it is with a wife. They define the parameters for you to work in ;).

How long until Jack Thompson makes a "censor" mod for it?

haha, i've installed the demo, now it's downloading content. lol Ran it, it was lame, the programmers really need to put more effort into this game to make it stimulating for anyone is how I see it. Game looks very bland and I'm sure they could've done much more to make it 'look' better..

I used to think my fellow AT'ers were kind of dull and stereotype, but boy, was I wrong. Look at all these witty comments in this thread. I love AT.
