Well I was doing fine but just HAD to get an eVGA nVidia GeForce2 MX200, 64mb SDRAM, 128 bit 4x AGP, ...I had a 32M GeForce in here doing just fine, but thought it might help to get the 64M..I was getting framerates as they should be, now they are down to 19FPS running alone.....Why does this happen?? Other specs are 700M processor, 256M ram ANY help appreciated..I must get back to feeding my addiction, and I cant do it at 19FPS! Oh and I did rerun the D3D patch...to no avail. Thanks -- Greg I only get what the ex, and the gov't dont want
The GF2 MX200 is slower than an original GeForce 1 in a lot of applications - although the GF2 has extra hardware capabilities I'm afraid the MX200 is the most basic GF2 and just doesn't have as much muscle as even an older GF1. However the MX200 should still be capable of giving good (i.e 36fps) framerates in GPL (I assume that is the game you're running, judging by the "D3D patch" reference....) - if you could open up your core.ini file (in the same folder as gpl.exe) and paste your values from the [ Int Profile Values ] and [ Direct3D7 ] sections then that might help someone more technical than me to find your problem.....
