I had a TNT2 V770 32 meg card and was getting 32 FPS on N4.
Bought a 3D Prophet Geforce 64 meg card and now I get about
24 FPS?
What gives?
Rest of my system:
WIN ME
900mhz athlon
256 megs PC100
23 gigs HD available
SBlive
44X cd
Using Liveware 3.0 with ME patch
detonator drivers and hercules drivers both about the same.
Suggestions?
Go through this check list....then try it again:

Try turning off "Vertical sync" , and run N4 in Open GL
I decided to keep the TNT2 board anyway.
