Re: re: Frame rate puzzle

smg9779,
That fps at 1280x1024 sounds low to me. I am running a TNT2 Ultra card with the Det.3 v6.50 drivers. Morgan doesn't like the v6.50, I haven't had any problems from them, but maybe I'm just the odd man out that got lucky. Now admittedly I have made some changes to my system. I started with a P3 600mhz, which I got in Sept. of '99. Today I flashed the BIOS and installed a new CPU and am now up to 1 GhZ. On the video card I use NVMAX to tweak out some things, and have also overclocked it to 180 on the core and 220 on the ram. Up from 150 and 180. I normally run at 1600x1200 and get about 60 - 63 fps. When I step down to 1280x1024 I jump to slightly over 100 fps. These results I got before the CPU change, but with the overclocking on the video card. I know the Ultra and the OC I have done will make differences, and I could be wrong........but still I think you should be seeing faster fps on that card. I am now looking foward to a GeForce3 installation to see what I gain then.
