5.25+beta or 5.30 - which is best for P2P3 gaming??
Greets all,
So, I am about to transform my system. Can you more experienced fiddlers discuss what would be best for me?
Now:
P2-350
Matrox G400MAX-AGP
using 5.25pd+beta OGL
Main game of the moment - Tribes {didn't ya know that already?}
Soon:
P3-500
G400MAX + Monster Voodoo2 12meg {will get most current Diamond drivers}
I've got many questions, some have likely already been answered elsewhere, but, we all like to be quoted often, right?
Should I go for the 5.30pd as everyone seems to say, once I have both the Voodoo2 and the P3 chip in? While the 5.3 is supposedly optimized for the P3 only {grr!}, will it coexist with the Voodoo card? What must I do to make it so?
If I cannot buy the P3, how can I get the 2 cards to play nice with only the P2-350? Which driver set? If there's any other stats/whateva needed for answers, let me know.
And yes, I hope to play this & other games with all the damn eye-candy turned up, at 1027 res+ in 32 bit {I hope I hope}. Like all of ya, I'm into smoothness, but there's only so high FR can go before higher rates are lost on the human eye {i'm thinking TV is 30fps?}, so any framerate above 30 or so will be lost on me in web play.
PLEEZ HALP!
