UT framerates?

[RSI]

What are yours, on your setup? Looking for people with older setups like mine.
I have a K6-III+ at 500 right now, 256MB PC133 sdram and a voodoo banshee. I can run in 1024 if I have details off, and it's smooth. Faster than 640 with details up. I don't recall it being like that ... I used to play in 1024 with details up and it was fine ... and that was with my older K6-2 and Cyrix processors. What's up with this? Any patches or upgrades to UT I can get? let me know ..

Your using a banshee card 1024x768?

Your cpu is still weak.

You shouldn't have a problem playing @ 640x480 everything cranked with your banshee card.

Remember he has Glide. I average about 55 FPS in 1024/768 with OpenGL, D3D runs like crap on my system (and thats funny because for most people it is the exact opposite!).

Yes I have a banshee yes I run 1024... System res I use 1280x1024 or 1152xwhatever, 32bpp .. I play games in 16bpp cuz that's all that's possible of course. I remember playing 1024 with details up and it was fine .. I do'nt know what's goin on now. 640x480 with details up, it says 50-60fps when I start, but that definitely is horrible since I notice really bad lag at times during play ,which I can't stand. If I take all the detail off, it's fast.

My CPU ain't really weak, since I remember playing faster than this with a 233MHz Cyrix. The Game doesn't seem to be hugely CPU intensive if you're well covered for video.

but still.. the K6-III+ (+, not regular) is pretty decent. And my Banshee is still my banshee. It should run at least 800x600 smoothly!

argh...

If all you're gonna play is UT, get a Savage4 or 2000.

Hey I had a Savage4 and a Savage 2000 and they are awesome in UT, MeTaL just simply kicks Glide/D3D/OpenGl's ass. I don't care how many times nvidia owners say that with the new drivers their display looks as good as MeTaL - well it doesn't, and I am a nvidia owner right now.

Ehh! sorry for the minny rant.

If MeTaL is as good as everyone's saying it is, I think I'd be blown away by it. I've played UT on a Voodoo3 for ever (as well as a GF MX recently), and recently upgraded my computer with a Radeon LE. Just the difference in quality from that upgrade was enough to make me think I was playing a completely different game.

I play UT on a TNT-2 and I get avg 45fps @ 1024x768x32bpp

So I guess nobody's going to help then. :\

I want to know if there's anything I can do to run faster. I run Win2K .. don't tell me to run Win98, because I won't. I have found that 2K is as fast, or faster, for me at least. Plus I have one partition and I run NTFS, I am not screwing with that now.

Well ... so any patches or anything at all? There's gotta be somethin.. :-\ Anyone know of the absolute best drivers for thE Banshee in 2K for UT? BEst version of DX? I have 8..

 

[sandorski]

Hmm, well, since you won't run Win98, you are likely stuck where you are at.
