UT on my G200 stutters BADLY

[noackjr]

If you have UT Demo 338, there is an experimental OpenGL implementation. The disclaimer reads:

"Experimental OpenGL support. This is provided for testing and experimentation, but has known compatibility issues with some drivers. Use at your own risk."

I'm not sure if it's been answered already, but I think "fph" means "frags per hour" or something similar - just a measure of rate of kills. I think it's a great idea...

UT_will_run_with DX 6.2 (that ships with Win98se) Found that out a few days ago when I installed it on the other machine (233 Pentium MMX POS with PCChips mobo and ooooold Diamond stealth DRAM card) Looks abolutely horrendous but my brother insisted on installing it so I did. I did not notice that much difference on my (still) machine today after reinstalling win98se but before reinstalling DX 7

let me put my "mee too" in here as well

UT runs horribly on my g200. But I get the feeling it only runs well on glide machines...

For something different...

What about software mode (A hush falls over the forum)?

I am running NT with a dual P3-500, 256MB RAM configuration and my trusty old Millenium G200 8MB. In UT at 640x480x32 with everything turned all the way up I am getting 25-30 fps w/ an average of 23 and a low of 19 (Turbine map against 4 experienced bots).

Anybody else try UT in software?

Wow, I thought it would slow things down, but gosh...

LOL. Maybe you got everyone to playing in software mode, so they no longer have time to reply. Heh-heh.

Well, since this thread is still here. I posted a while back about my problems with it. I have since changed the clock from 392(112*3.5) to 400(100*4) and everything runs pretty well now. Performance isn't great, I know it's nothing near what I could get from a better card, but it's easily playable, even at 800x600. I can't turn on many of the details though, but that doesn't bother me too much anyway.

And in reply to LAMFTDK
"I am not busting you guys because *you have not upgraded*, but this is going to happen to all G200 users with all the new games that are comming out."

Some of us can't afford to upgrade. And further more, as LrngToFly said, Half-Life is playable, so is Quake, Quake 3,(don't know about Q2, I don't have it) Heretic2, and most other OGL and D3D games. There are also lots of people out there like me who just want to be able to play. I don't care if I can't play at 1024x768x32. 800x600x16 looks great and is 100% playable and I'm perfectly happy with that.

Sorry to gripe about that, I know you didn't mean it in a bad way, but too many people take that type of attitude towards older cards and it gets on my nerves.
