N3: GeoForce replaced V3 3000 Question

I just replaced my Voodoo 3 3000 card with a CL Annihilator 2 32 mb card. N3 ran smooth on the V3 with most detail on. With the new card and same detail on it is choppy. Are there N3 settings or card settings that I should tweak to get it smooth? I have the D3D option choosen in N3 right now. I have a PIII 550 mhz Dell with 256 mb ram. Thanks Andy

With a 550, you best bet would be to put the V3 back in. dave henrie "Andrew Henn" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You'll be better served by upgrading your CPU. I've recently found that out the hard way. My Celeron466 o/c to 525 ran slower with a 32MB GF2 GTS as opposed to my old V3 3000 too. Upgraded to a P3 850@910 & all is well again. ;-) -- Chuck Kandler

I too just went from a V3 to a Geforce 2 MX and I have to say my framerates have gone up in one or two games but halfed in most. If this is such a 3dfx beating card why the hell does it have so many problems that requre you to tweak the things for days just to get something than the pitch black choppy images straight out of the box???? Oh well i guess its right up there with Microsoft making the worlds most used and useless os... Pete Gibbins <p.gibbins@[no-spam]ntlworld.com> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Try www.geforcefaq.com I also went from a V3 to a geforce2 and the difference is amazing - there *must* be something wrong with your setup. Thats the problem with these Nvidia jobs, they are so setup sensitive. Good luck, Pete Gibbins On Tue, 30 Jan 2001 02:44:36 GMT, "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote:
