Tried some other random swfs and they where fine so its something I'm using. Thats still one up on me, all of my swfs cause a browser crash :) with gpu enabled which i think counts as 0fps.

At home where I have a very powerful GeForce series 9 SLi set-up I'm hoping the total opposite will be true, but have to wait another 4 hours before I can test :) I've also read that the browser STILL makes a big difference.

The game I'm working on works mostly with Bitmaps (everything except the main character is bitmap). If I run it at 120 FPS it plays at 90FPS in Flash (Flash 9 player), at 90FPS with wmode=normal, 60FPS with wmode=transparent, but to my utter surprise it ran at 3FPS with wmode=gpu. I'm really intrigued as to what would make it faster then? Even stranger was the fact that wmode=direct made it even slower - about 50FPS. I've got a dual core CPU, maybe that had some effect. Could it be that my video card is only AGP (X1600) and the bandwidth is limited. 3 FPS is pretty dam slow! I downloaded Flash 10 Beta last night and gave the new wmodes a whirl this morning.
