Weird.  I also got 21 fps... on a timedemo of 1024X768 high settings
with all the advanced features activated (except Shadows and
Anti-Alias X4).

Anyway, both the "low detail" and "medium detail" settings at 640X480,
I'm getting identical 33.4fps on the timedemo.  When I activate
V-Sync, it drops by another 2 fps.

Just make sure you've turned off Shadows and bump mapping.  I also
found that I was getting better framerate with 640X480 + Anti Alias
X2, rather than 800X600 w/o AA.

And when you do the timedemo, don't forget to run "timedemo demo1
usecache" so you'll get more accurate results.
