V2 vs. V3..GPL

4 posts by 4 people · 29 Apr 2000 - 30 Apr 2000 01:07 UTC

Hi..I am running a P2 350 96mb RAM with a V3 card. A while back I switched to the V3 when I was putting in a new modem. My fps in GPL are more like a steady 35 than a solid 36 (online). I am better off with a V2? I could put my old one back in. I can run my res at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 it does not matter. Still hangs at 35fps. I am getting a little frustrated. I should be at a solid 36. I know with the V2 I will have to run at 800 x 600 but I can deal with that as long as my frames are there. DC

Check your Monitor refresh rate. I bet it's 70 Hz. Put it on 75, and presto, 36fps... Remco "David Ciemny" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I have used both a single V2 (Creative 12 mb), V2 SLI and V3 3000. The V3 gave me most consistant, high framerates. I had more "hiccups" with the V2s. K.S. Br�nnick Ps. Disable vsync
