..you cut your colors from 32bit to 16bit, ATI's cards are all 24bit, how are your 24bit framerates?
My ASUS GeForce 2 Ti 32 MB gives following results (using --geometry 1024x768):
1. Windows 2K with NVidia provided drivers (on of the latest FG I believe 0.98 taken from the website a few months ago):
-16 bit (High Color) - 43-45 FPS
-32 bit (so called True Color) - 25-42 FPS (it drops to 25 or even more when the horizon is very far)
2. Linux Mandrake 10.0 with kernel 2.4 and rather older NVidia driver (FG compiled out of the cvs a few days ago):
-16 bit - 62-77 FPS
-24 bit - 38-47 FPS
Note that Windows does not give an option to run 24-bit (I am not sure what 32-bit/True Color means either) and Linux that 32-bit.
Interestingly, the sound under Linux and 16-bit mode got strangely interrupts. Under Linux 24-bit it I do not see (or rather hear :-) that effect.
