kgeissler 0 Posted June 17, 2000 I just bought an Athlon 800 and Abit KA7 MB. But when I run Q3 in 640x480, fastest setting with all game options turned off, I only get 63 FPS. Is this good, or sound to low? BTW, I have a Creative Blaster TNT 16MB video card and 196MB of RAM. TIA Share this post Link to post
MarksmanX 0 Posted June 17, 2000 That FPS score is decent but not great. You should aim for around the 90s+ fps scores though. You should consider upgrading your video card if you want more FPS. Nvidia DDR based cards are excellent for OpenGL games. ------------------ Supermicro P6DBE Rev 3.0 Motherboard Dual Intel Pentium III 850 512 MEGS of ECC RAM Sound Blaster Live!

kgeissler 0 Posted June 17, 2000 I would love to upgrade, but the new CPU and MB, broke my bank for a couple of months. I was just looking at sites like anandtech and sharkyextreme. And their review of the Athlon 800 with a TNT2, they were getting 88 FPS. Is the TNT2 that much better than the TNT? I thought I would at least be able to get 75 FPS. Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted June 17, 2000 The TNT2 is ALOT better than the TNT1. 640X480 is not really much of a test for a video card since your testing the cpu + vid card. Run benchmarks at 1024X768 and compare to TNT2. You will notice a HUGE difference in performance. Share this post Link to post
