Game performance with AMD

[Sully]

I have an Abit KT7 motherboard with a 900mhz T-Bird CPU and an ASSUS V6800 32ddr video card.When I run Unreal in 1024x768x32 mode I get lousy performance. When I run it at 1024x768x16 it is just OK. With the Pentium 3 660E setup I had it ran fine in all settings. How can I improve performance? Is AMD that bad?

I had the same problem...

get the detonator 6.27 drivers.

Dont run windows me, and make sure that you are running the latest patched version of the game (4.28) and have DX7A

I dowloaded the detonator 6.27 drivers and it is running much better.Hopefuly the next drivers will address Windows Me problems.

Thanks,

hmmm,

thats exactly what I used it for.

Also, super important:

If u have a Mobo with the via chipset (which you do...), you must download the new via drivers: v. 4.25a

at: www.viahardware.com

and, make sure and install the AGP driver seperatly

get it at the Via homepage.

AGP version 4.03 (i think)

that made WinME perform about twice as good. (even though i use 98SE for games)

I have exactly the same system. Except fo the Motherboard. T-Bird 900 K7M Asus 6800V 128 mg Pc100 Ram. At 1024x768x32 I get 70-80 at 1024x768x16 75-85 What are your framerates? Try downloading the older Nvidia driver!

It worked thanks for the help.I was about to give up.How I have great performace.Before I loaded the 4in 1 drivers I had to install standard display drivers then loaded the via drivers.Rebooted and loaded the latest nvidia driver 6.27 after.Very happy now.Windows Me is working fine.
