hello ppl...

the techdemo shows a very low fps on my system... most of the time something around 60-70fps(without vsync)...i have read in the forum tat ppl get the fps around 400-500... my configration is...

AMD athlon 1.56 GHz
windows XP
directX 9.0b ( i use openGL though)
384MB RAM
120GB HDD
onboard GeForce2 card(32 MB)

i have installed the latest drivers from nVidia

could anyone suggest what exactly is the problem??is there any way i can shoot up the current FPS???

Well, what's the problem? Most of the people who get 4-500 FPS have top-of-the-line video cards and computers. Have you compared the frame rates you get with Irrlicht with other apps?

Your problem is:

onboard GeForce2 card(32 MB)

I have that on my computer and found that a lot of apps won't run with it. Get a new graphics card and watch things run smoother and faster.

60-70 is perfectly playable, you cant even see the difference above 65. And you should try directx, it runs much faster on older cards for windows.

I think the minimum FPS that the human eye can't see the difference is 24 FPS. The standard DVD runs at about 30 FPS I believe.
