I don't understand this but i can't go over 60fps in q2 for some odd reason.

:disgust:
 
well 99%% of the time the solution is to disable your vsync. it should be in your advanced display properties
 
OMFG, man that thing hit the spot, i went from 60 to 260 in q2. 🙂 thnx bro, i haven't even overclocked it yet to see a bigger gain, is there even a gain?
 
hehe ok glad it worked for you. ALl you had to do was get rid of the vsync right?
as for overclocking, i dont know how effective that'll be considering there are 2 seperate processors on the card.
 
how did you get the v sync shut off? I haven't played around with win2k and V5 combo. did you find it in the 3dfx tools, or use v control or a overclocker that had the setting in it. if I remember right one of the overclockers v sync disabler doesn't work in win2k, I wonder if the game has a v sync setting also, I don't have Q2 in my system any more.
 
Nope it was in the V.Control utility that you link me too. It says Sync to vertical refresh in the tab and uncheck it. I went back to run q2, and everything was running so fast it look like the video card was running rampant with no control(which is a good thing, its screaming more frames now) and it solve my problem cause in q2 i can't disbale the v sync from within the game. But q2 only sees the V5 as a V3, so is it only seeing one chip and not 2 chips? I might be better off now just getting kyro2 if this is the case. What about the HSR, does it really work in 2k like in 9x?
 
I tried v control on my system (win98se) it was ok but i found I liked using the 3dfx tools better and with some mods to the tools/drivers. right now I am using custom drivers also (iceman 1.07.02). I like these drivers, they work good for me but they don't for every body.

so Q2 is only using one chip? unsure about that I won't complain if it's running that fast. kyro 2? maybe or maybe not, sounds like starting over with more problems to solve. checkout these sites if you haven't already

as for the V5 hsr: i don't use it, don't need it really, it only works in a few games like quake3, even then it only works somewhat ok at low res for me. I play Q3 at 1280x1024x 32 bit usually with out bogging down to much now..
un sure how HSR works in Win2K
 
You said it jumped up to 260 fps, didn't you? I wouldn't worry about if it's only seeing one chip or not, with those frame rates...
