Spuddeh 0 Posted August 17, 2000 I've gotta new p3 cumine 800 and asus ge-force (6800 deluxe), its not too shabby....one minor complaint....i get theeee most appauling framerates around, 138fps on demo1.dm2 (i used to get 149 with my athlon 650 (asus ge-force as well) - and quake3 is totally un-changed...in any way, i'm using the latest drivers from asus, the via 4 in 1 drivers...or whatever, AGP x4 (unavailable on the athlon mb)..and running win2k sp1, anyone wanna gimmie any hints as to why its running so poooorly???

APV_SAV 0 Posted August 17, 2000 Althon is faster than P3, some hardware site even point out an AMD Duron 900 is faster than the P3 1Ghz Share this post Link to post
devils advocate 0 Posted August 17, 2000 actually, it has more to do w/ your mobo...via chipsets tend to be slower than bx chipsets even though they have 4x agp and what not...there always seems to be issues tied in w/ which 4 in 1 drivers are being used...You would probaby see a boost on a bx board...as for p3 vs athlon, my 650 p3 and 800 p3 smoke my friends 700 athlon on a regular basis...it is not your porcessor...my other friend runs q3 in 1600x1200 in win2k on a p3700 and i run it on my radeon @ 1600x1200...both on bx chipsets...almost any forum will have several people having issues w/ via chipsets...

wind 0 Posted August 17, 2000 Yeah, with the i815e chipset and the asus cusl2, youd be crazy to go with something else Via chipsets seem to suck with p3's, my friend got a 20% performance boost when replacing his old via apollo pro 133 board with the i815e - same cpu and other hardware.

APV_SAV 0 Posted August 17, 2000 Dont have Althon, but my Celeron 550 smokes my friend's p3 700, why, I have a CLAP 2 while he has a TNT2. so your p3 smokes your friend's althon makes no sense at all. you have to compare both cpu with same setup like same amount of ram, video card etc etc. btw, no need to reply, not here to start an athlon/p3 discussion, since i don't have both, period.

Spuddeh 0 Posted September 1, 2000 Thanks lads you got any suggestions as to what mainboard i SHOULD get in its place? preferably AGP x4 (fast writes etc) I got the general idea that the 815 was good (from you lot ) thanks again Share this post Link to post
