q3a time demo preformance question

**************************************************************************

im just curious if my preformance is where it should be with my current setup. Im running win me with the the folowing setup.

duron 600@900
a7v
128 case 2 pc 133 crucial
ati all-in-wonder 128 16 meg version with latest drivers
sb live value

im wondering if 46.4 fps is on par with what the ati card should be doing in q3a timedemo 1 on the above setup.

Thanx,

what resolution/color depth/quality setting?

try doing one at 1024 normal/high quality

 

[ModemMix]

1024 is a bit much for this card that score was at install default i ran high quality at 800x600 and get 28 fps, i belive defaulys are 640x480, i play at 800x600 with default settings which gets me 27fps

that ATI is DEFINATELY holding your kickass duron back

upgraded my ati aiw 128 to an asus v7100 gf2 mx card. I ran timedemo 1 at 1024x768 highest quality everything on and it got 47.9 fps hows that for my particular setup? im running 6.31 drivers from nvidia and i have the card overclocked to 200 core 210 memory.

PS... i also uninstalled win me and am back to win98 se...ME seemed to be rather bloated with usless junk and was way dummed down.

ati is the problem, definetely


but if you want faster fps, come to my page

click on the 3dfx link on the bottom, then go to "tweaks"!

read the instructions, and reply if you need help.

It could also be the fact that you have a crappy motherboard chipset, or integrated graphics, I haven't read whether you have an agp card or not, but write back later... Good luck!!!
