I have a 1.5gig CPU, 512 meg ram.........is it my GF2 Ultra card stopping me from getting full/full in any of my 3d configs?? I am still at full/high. Just curious now..........I just dropped another 256 in to bring it to 512......maybe I am just expecting miracles??

For me: AMD 1600/GF4 Ti 4400=Full/Full -- Joe M. "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > I'm pretty sure only GF3 and above manage full/full. > > I have a GF3 and AMD xp1800 and I don't get full/full > > MadDAWG > >

What screen res? I run mine at 1280. anything less looks like crap on my 19" CRT. Just as a side note the TI series cards run better than a standard GF3. MadDAWG

If I want to run it full/full on some shitty computer then let me.

If you have Aniso Filtering and/or AA enabled in your Nvidia card settings it will reduce the results from the game's 3D config program. I turn them all off, run the config and then turn them back on. Doesn't seem like that should help, but I do get better FPS results that way. YMMV... ;-) SB "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It is a user setting. The config sets the defaults to full/full. If you have a slow system you might get low/low. Once in the game, you can set it to full/full. The real issue is poly pushing results of the test. I get 37M triangles which allows me to compare my system to another and see the impact of various upgrades. I'm curious what score can be had from an AMD 2800 or P4 2.8Ghz and an ATI 9700 Pro. -- Joe M.

Mine says 0.0 tri/sec, and the rest don't work either, so I guess it isn't a user option on *my* machine, then.

Maybe it's because I'm running Windows XP... No seriously, my P4 1.8 with GF2 gets 0.0 tri/sec, so the config is screwed up somehow. The game still works fine though...

It's okay now, I spent a while downloading new/old nvidia drivers. Some of them work with the 3dconfig, some don't for a PC* reason. Now I have a number, I am happy (wish it was a little higher though ;-). Nick * those little things that stop working sometimes for no apparent reason
