SPEEDY GAMING DISCOVERY. READ NOW ALL GAMERS.

i have a millg200 16 meg agp card and i just doubled my fps in halflife.

ONE SIMPLE THING. SET YOUR WINDOWS DESKTOP RESOLUTION TO THE SAME AS WHAT YOU WILL USE IN THE GAME.

at 640x480 in halflife, i got my framerate to go from 15-25fps BEFORE, to about 30-50fps right NOW.

i discovered it when i played halflife in 1152 resolution, the same as my desktop. i saw that there was 20-30fps. extraoridinary i must say. and in halflife, a graphical beast. oh boy. i hope this works for all of you too.

I don't think it makes a difference, does it? Heh. I'm too blur to notice anything anyway but I'll try it out. Thanks!

btw, i am using 5.13 drivers. it might not work with newer drivers.? ? ? ? but it should

[nehalmistry]

can someone please try it and tell me how it worked for them. that way i know if its only w/my card.

[Maggi]

interesting ...

could be a bug in the driver though.

any particular reason why you don't use newer drivers ?

You missed you three major releases ...

[nehalmistry]

it could be the drivers??? but who cares it works and does wonders for me!!!

well i really cant be bothered to see if this works w/ new drivers, BUT the real reason why i dont use the newest drivers is because in d3d mode in hl, u cant see the scores.(even though i do use it in opengl)...

actually, i think im gonna try this w/new drivers.!!!!! be back w/results.

Nehal, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I installed a new hard (boot) drive yesterday, lost a couple of months of email messages in the process, and a couple of fps in Quake 3 demo1 as well. Go figure

I was going to suggest that you bring the problem here, as the darn thing was never used for 3D before. It's not the fastest board in the world, and I'm sure Half Life came as quite a shock to its system.
