Jeff, you need to either raise the refresh rate on your monitor, to 75hz, or greater, or find a 'disable vsync' or 'don't sync buffer swaps to monitor refresh rate' setting in your video cards preferences, probably in Win98 control panel / display. This will most likely cure your problem. The settings may have gotten reset when you changed cards. Good luck.

Hi, with my old TNT1 board running 2.08 drivers on Win 95 I could hit 36fps on GPL (Normal running around, a few tweaks to the graphics settings on 1024*768 using OpenGL patch) Now I've got a TNT2 ultra with the same 2.08 drivers (Ive also tried 3.53) and Win98 I cannot get above 26-27fps, no matter what tweaks I try, in fact the things I have tried seem to make no difference at all which is odd? Am I missing something obvious, and is there a way to get the new 5.22 drivers to work woth GPL? - I've tried them and get a wierd quarter screen type result. Any advice much appreciated. Jeff

Sounds like you may be missing the following section of the core.ini as without it you'd be stuck at about 25fps no matter what you did: [ Int Profile Values ] value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0 ; do not change value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0 ; do not change value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0 ; do not change -- Eric "Jeff" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ii2a9$ha9$[email hidden]... > > Now I've got a TNT2 ultra with the same 2.08 drivers (Ive also tried 3.53) > and Win98 I cannot > get above 26-27fps, no matter what tweaks I try, in fact the things I have > tried seem to make no difference at all which is odd?
