I am wondering if i could get some help from the community. I am part of a very VERY large team working on a Morrowind expansion/addon. What we need to know is the average frames per second you get, which video card you use and what resolution you run it at. [i.e. 1024X768, Gforce 2, 32 bit color, 37fps average]
Any other basic specs [such as CPU, RAM and mobo] are also very helpfull, but mostly we are looking for your video cards specs. We fully realize that different machines with different "stuff inside" makes everything change, however its the video cards we are trying to target right now.
Most everyone "here" has a good system, but not everyone who plays morrowind does. I personally have an old Gforce2 64 meg card and dont get very good FPS at all.... But i have every option on and all the way up so- Anyways if you guys could just post the FPS, what video card you have and what resolution you run the game at, that would be EXTREMLY helpfull and outstanding!
Thanks for your time, were trying to give something back. Check out Gamersroam.com for some sweet Morrowind addons and everything else :thumb:

Okay my machine suck! Here is what i have...
P3-600, 256Mb and Radeon32Mb (Less than 30FPS)!
So i get choppy most of the time when i enter a big new area. Running in 800x600 res.
After i modify the Morrowind.ini
Max FPS=240 -----> Max FPS=60
DontThreadLoad=0 -----> DontThreadLoad=1
Exterior Cell Buffer=32 -----> Exterior Cell Buffer=45
UseQuadratic=0 -----> UseQuadric=1
QuadraticRadiusMult=1.0 -----> QuadricRadiusMult=4.0
Note: besure to backup your morrowind.ini before you modify incase there serious problems and can alway copy over to correct the mistake if you having any problems while running the program.
Also using the taskbar (shell program) above on the right corner next to the clock can greatly increases the gameplay, but not alway as it seem. It worth a try and got nothing to lose. Lauch Morrowind from the task scheduler.
Even having the most outstanding PC, still not even good enough to run morrowind, thou the codes (programming) needed to tuned some more. But the game itself still great and interesting world to play in. As the way it was made in programming i wouldnt want to play this in multiplayer mode due to serious lag spikes and certain death as well. Better off playing it alone.
I will upgrade my PC near the furture. :cheeky:

GF2 Pro 64MB, 256MB ram, 1024x768, 10-30 fps.
-edit- I did have a GF4 4200 in here and got significantly higher framerates, but the damn thing had a hardware conflict with something in my system and every game would freeze in 10 minutes or less. :(

Samn here i crashed often, but i save it very often. It seem when i enter a new zone after taking silkstrider transport then it crashed.
I also noticed ATI Radeon doesnt support Morrowind, but it work most of the time for me. Crashed between 1-4hrs.

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1.67 gzh
512mb ram
GeForce 3 Ti 200
Min FPS: 12
Max FPS: 45
Avg FPS: 20
I run Morrowind at 1600x900 (letterbox mode :D), with an increased FOV and dynamic view distance thanks to the Morrowind FPS Optimizer. Shadows are only on in interiors.

I run Morrowind at 1152x864, all features (shadows, pixel shading etc.) enabled, max draw distance, no tweaking, on:
P4 2.5ghz
512mb RAM
64mb GeForce 4 Ti4200
I'm not sure of my exact average FPS, but I'd estimate it's around 30. I've never experienced visual slowdown at any point in the game, or in the expansions or any mods, but then again I've never done anything that would push the engine to it's limits.
Prior to getting that PC, I ran at 1024x768 with no advanced rendering stuff on:
P3 800mhz
128mb RAM
32mb GeForce 256
I got 25fps on a good day. And had some significant slowdown in Balmora, nevermind Ebonheart or Vivec.

What is the command to display FPS?
BlackAsp on 29/7/2003 at 19:57
To turn on the FPS: goto morrowind.ini
Show Fraterate:
Show FPS=0 (0 is disabled and 1 is enabled)
