G200 problems.........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[i_riaz]

Can anyone please help me cause my g200 is giving me nothing but problems. First of all does anyone know how you can use winamp opengl plugins with your g200 opengl ICD. I am trying to run the princes opengl 3d effects, but all I get is a very slow moving 3d spectrum with 16 colours. Secondly how come I'm only acheiving 41fps on 640x480x16 res with quake2 on my celeron 550MHz processer, when my friend's celeron is only 450MHz and he is acheiving 83fps with his old Riva TNT processor. Is this how crap the G200 is?

Thankyou

Your G200 has a single-texturing rendering pipeline, while the TNT has multitexturing abilities. That´s why TNT´s are way faster in multitexturing games (i.e. quake2).

The G200 is more than 1 year old now. That´s a long time, hardware speaking. With a celeron 550, you´re clearly video card limited.

I don´t know if you got now the G200 or if you already have it a long time, but you should know that, generally speaking, TNT 1 are much faster than G200.

Be sure to use the lastest bios and drivers (5.21) for your G200.
