D2 fps rates

[Mav451]

I have a problem. I get decent 70+ fps in CS, over 90 in UT and 60ish in Q3...so why do i only get 25fps with skip at 25?!!?!?!

i don't know why this is happening.

i have a g400 32MB AGP

System:
Win98SE
tbird 800mhz
Asus A7V KT133 1008-E
1 x 256 PC133 Crucial SDRAM
G400 Millenium 32MB AGP
SBLive!
Linksys NIC
WD 20.5GB 5400 HD
etc...

i'm wondering if anyone else has this problem or knows how to solve this?

i know someone who has a g400max (172/216) and he gets 80fps with 0 SKIP!

EDIT: my g400 btw is at 144/177

what the heck is D2 ?

No wonder his frame rates are bad, D2 is for Dreamcast only...

I think he means Diablo 2.

Is your V-sync off?
It helps squeeze some fps
(or try setting your colour to 16-bit)

Wow!

Those are some impresive frame counts, how much better would a G550 do?

[Mav451]

haha well

those 70+ fps in CS are like only in de_dust...with like 4 on4 action haha...not the usual 12 on 12 online stuff

...

I once had a freindwho complained of poor FPS in D2, turned out the problem was he was running the game on his GeFroce 3 in Glide mode lol

The G550 is slower than the G400Max... about the same as a vannilla G400

?

How well do G400s OC? What about G550s?

Do a search... these Q's were answered just a day or so ago

Believe me. Diablo is really poooooorly coded game. The fps depends on your internet connection ( when playing online ) + the action going on the screen.

I have a Radeon 8500LE(285/295) and on a 1.35G TB i get anything from 100-150fps in town.. but when going out there its jumping 25-40-60. This game WILL not run better on ANY D3D-card.

It was designed for 3Dfx's Glide and that will get you the best results over ANY GF3/GF4/ATI/[insert card here].

There are some program tweaks that you can use to turn off shadows etc.. dont remember where you could donwload that prog, but just look for it and you find it. This will help A LOT if you have a slow processor ( i sometimes play D2-lod with my brothers 366 celeron+TNT2 and without that prog it just D-I-E-S ).
