[Help] Flurry Screen Saver

Hi there,

I'm sure you guys know of the great Flurry port by Maddog Matt.

Guys I need your help, I have a question that I haven't been able to solve on the net.

You see I have a Laptop Pentium 4, 3.2 Ghz with Radeon 9600 Pro. Flurry runs very good (the frame rate indicator, enabled in the registry shows 34 FPS, just regedit to the flurry key, you'll see it, or use fraps with the accurate double buffering).

What I can't solve is that I tried to run flurry on another laptop, a slower one, a Pentium-M 1,5 ghz Radeon 9200, on this machine it runs at the same settings but at a straight 50 fps.

Can you tell me how to boost the FPS, as it is running slower on the faster machine?

Here are the details (both machines fresh installs of XP Sp1 everything cleared from startup):

Flurry FPS = 50 fps

Laptop Compaq NX7000 Widescreen

Pentium - M 1.5 ghz (running on battery (598 Mhz))

400 Mhz FSB

1680x1050x32

Directx 8.1

Catalyst 3.4 (Display Driver 6.14.10.6342)

Flurry FPS = 34fps

Laptop Sager 5680

Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz

800 Mhz FSB

1600x1200

DirectX 9.0b

Catalyst 4.6 (Display Driver 6.14.10.6451)

Could it be that Flurry runs faster on DirectX 8.1 instead of Directx 9.0b?

Where do you think lies the answer?

I would really appreciate your help.

The flurry screensaver runs at 40fps if I leave my laptop adapter hz at default (60hz).

If I change my refresh rate to 70 hz in display properties (although my laptop LCD can only display 60) Flurry runs at 64 fps.

Any ideas why?
