Mex Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Would a ATI All-In-Wonder RADEON 9600 PRO 128MB DDR 8X AGP run Jedi Academy at a decent Frames Per Second? I don't know jack about graphics cards but I'll be getting a new one in 2 months and I was wondering if you lot had any suggestions for one. I want it to be under 300 pound and run new modern games good. So can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 IIRC people were having problems with ATI cards and JA. You might want to look in the bug thread or troubleshooting forum to see what they have to say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I would imagine it would run it very well. i have a g-force 4 mx with 64 ddr and even with all the settings on max (apart from dynamic glow) it runs smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Raven are releasing a patch soon to [hopefully] get rid of those problems, and I won't be getting a graphics card till December time so a patch should be out by then.

Akshara Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Umm... from the reports, it appears to be more of an ATI issue than Raven's. So be sure to check the ATI website as well for any update releases that address the JA retail issue. ATI is notorious for having problems running certain games when they release a new card technology, such as the 9600+ cards. To their credit though, they also have an excellent track record for releasing updated drivers that address those problems in a timely manner. We shall see... Point being, check the ATI site as well.

SpaceButler14 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I have an R9600 Pro and it runs JA ok at max detail on my P4 1.6. It's slower than it should run, but with the catalyst 3.6 drivers it's ok. Also, because of the use of similar effects in other games without problems it is more of a Raven issue IMO.

StormHammer Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Well...I had a lot of problems with my Radeon 9700 Pro card...I had to use the 3.4 Catalyst drivers to get stability in the majority of games..and even then, NOLF1, NOLF2, Contract JACK, Arx Fatalis, Gothic, and Severance: Blade Of Darkness all had serious graphical problems, or would not run at all. So I bit the bullet and stumped up the cash for a GeForce FX5900 256Mb (non-Ultra), and it runs all of the above mentioned games perfectly - using the 45.23 drivers. I'll never buy another ATI card. My old Radeon might have offered slightly better performance (frame-rates) in some games, but the GeForce card is a lot more stable and I've yet to see a graphical glitch with it. The GeForce FX5900 cost me £275 (incl. VAT) from overclockers.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
