I'd love to see what 15,000 looks like, but I don't think it's possible.

AMD64-3000/512/9800Pro
The largest battle I've had so far was slightly under 3000, don't remember, possibly 2700. In any case, I wasn't running Fraps, but I didn't notice any effect at all. Played just the same as if there were only 500. This with everything at Highest level, AA at low, 1600x1200x32.

I've got a P4 2.4 o/ced to 3.0, 9700 pro o/ced as well, and 1 gig of very fast ram. I suggest you do a defrag that might help, but adding another 512 will probably help more!

OH! STRONGLY suggest you monitor and manage your, CPU, GPU and Case temps!!!! You may have a hot system and that may be effecting your results more than anything else.

Luck!
