Are Gefore2 That good?

[WaaZzuupp]

Hi

I have just got my geforce 2 gts 64mb from "ebay"
i am using nvidia detoner3
okay i am very happy that i received the product but i wasn't that happen about the performance.

TNT2 ultra = 3408 3d marks
CL Gefore 2 gts 64mb = 6089 3dmarks

hmmzzz

TNT2 ultra = 60 FPS in UT
Geforce2 = 50 fps in ut

and when i use the rocket-lancher, i see green square stuff.. the green stuff supposed to be smoke( i am not sure if u all know what i am talkign about)

Yeah thats my problem...

Try Quake3 Arena instead. If UT is your game you shoulda gotten V5.

 

[WaaZzuupp]

thanks fo the reply

Can anybody help me??

 

[Wingznut]

Bear with me, but I have to ask it...

Do you have UT patched to 4.28?

 

[WaaZzuupp]

yeah I have it patched to 4.28

Thanks

Try other drivers. 5.22, 5.30 to solve the green square stuff and check if FSAA is enable for the FPS drop.

It sounds like you are trying to use OpenGL...I have that problem when I tried to use it, too. Just make sure you have Direct 3D selected. Glide won't work.

 

[WaaZzuupp]

my vedio card is a oem product
Creative Geforce2 GTS 64mb

hmmzz.. i dont know i am using Direct3d for UT
and i have just update my drivers to 5.30
ok 1 problem solved
the green squares thingys are gone... but my FPS absolutly sucks

 

[bauerbrazil]

Look again if your FSAA is disabled. Speaking about how good is Geforce look at this thread this is very cool. Try this and tell us

 

[WaaZzuupp]

hmmzz how do i disable FSAA or FSSA... whatever...
hmmzz how do i diasable it ?? thanks

Running a GF DDR with det 6.18 here, and I have no problems in UT, of course I dont play it much so I cant say Ive done extensive testing, but both FPS and image quality are about what I'd expect.

 

[WorldsEdge]

Same here. I am using nvidia6.18 drivers with ut4.28 excellent FPS and image quality. Did you uninstall the TNT2 completely before you installed the drivers again for the GTS?

 

[Thor_Sevan]

Yeah, and never, NEVER play UT in Opengl mode !!!!!! Its the slowest and the crapyest mode of rendering !!

 

[BenSkywalker]

Thor_Sevan-

"Yeah, and never, NEVER play UT in Opengl mode !!!!!!"

As a GF owner, that is the only way I will be playing UT from now on. Check out the link above, the explenation is there.

WaaZzuupp-

To disable FSAA-

Start - Settings- Control Panel- Display- Settings- Advanced- GeForce2 GTS- Additional Properties

OpenGL will have a tab to adjust the setting.

Direct3D will have a more D3D tab where you can slide it on/off and adjust.

 

[WaaZzuupp]

Is it called "Hardware Antialising Control" ??

thanks

 

[BenSkywalker]

Yep

 

[WaaZzuupp]

hmmzzz...
i dont get it u know....
the 3Dmark benchmark's games, I get around 80 - 90fps
in UT which also use Direct 3D ... i get 40-50fps... could it be UT's fault???
when i look into the space in the CTF-Face with Tnt2 ultra 130 - 150 fps
With Geforce2 gts is only 70 - 85 FPS max!

blah i think is my card problem

do u think so?

 

[bauerbrazil]

Man, i dont know whats your problem. You are talking that your TNT is faster than your GTS??? Pretty strange.

Download the new 6.26 drivers

What resolution are you playing??? I have almost the same system and i get 40-50 FPS in 1600x1200x16bits

 

[WaaZzuupp]

hmmzz i am playing in 1240 x 768

every thing high...

about 50fps... u think thats about right??

 

[bauerbrazil]

1024x768x32bits 50FPS, i think its ok. Take a look at this review

 

[bauerbrazil]

Man, if you are complaining about your FPS in UT you must try this. They are saying that you have a great increase of performance and quality

Ill try this next week, hope you have luck

 

[WaaZzuupp]

ohhh...

i guess so...

so its about right then.....

HA! my mistake

but one thing.... man... y is my TNT2 ultra getting more FPS
hahah
Is it bec it has "Ultra" in it???

 

[WaaZzuupp]

i taught the FPS for UT with a Geforce 2 GTS
is 100++ FPS

 

[WaaZzuupp]

How hot is hot for a Graphic card??
i touched the head sink...
still cool
but when i touch the back side of the Graphic card
its a little hot... is not that hot when u acctually brun yur hand...
