lukesky518 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Just want to know if a Voodoo 5 5500 video card will support JO, I mean if it will run OpenGL and JO's modified Quake 3 engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon says Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 download the quake 3 demo and try it out. Should work though. And welcome to the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Yes, it will work. Voodoo 3s and up are 100% OpenGL compliant, although the Voodoo 5 5500 is the only one that will run JK2 moderatly well with medium detail, IF you have a really good CPU and RAM. Just because some cards aren't listed on LEC's supported cards list, doesn't mean they won't work. They just test the most common cards, and they can garuntee that those will work. Video cards coming out in two years will work, and ones from two years ago will work too, they just can't test every single card on the market and provide support for it.

digl Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 welcome to the forums lukesky518 I'm pretty sure it will be supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangMatt302 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I have 1.8 GHz, 512 RAM, and NVIDIA Vanta. I have a 12 year old monitor too. I want JO to run full-fledged. What should I upgrade to? I need the best 3D video AGP card out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 welcome MustangMatt302 the best? Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoowl Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Agreed. The Geforce 4 Ti460 is tops. Apparently the Radeon 8500 is no sloutch though. If you want a bargain option, look for a Geforce 3 Ti200, they're going pretty cheap now. Don't be fooled by those Geforce 4 MX cards though.

MustangMatt302 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Who much does that Geforce4 Ti460 go for? I need to absolute best. I need to upgrade this computer to fullfill JO maximum requirements. Heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reserved_name Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 yeah im pretty sure it works on voodoo 5500... i mean quake 3 and quake 3 team arena demo work on my voodoo banshee, which is much worse than voodoo 5500... im getting Hercules Radeon 8500 LE for this and other new games though (Hercules Radeon 8500 is VERY cheap in finland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_FinnSon Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 (Hercules Radeon 8500 is VERY cheap in finland) I presume you are from Finland as well, reserved_name. Have you seen Radeon 8500 with 128 MB anywhere(I thought buying that or XT when it comes out)? I would like to welcome you to the community! "Nautihan olostas", as we say in here Turku.

B0MBER II Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 my ELSA GF3 is still good right? I wish they'd stop pumping 3d cards out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I wish they keeped pumping new cards but with lower prices Q3 works fine with a Vodoo2, so I think the real minimum will be something like a vodoo3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reserved_name Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 hehe thanks for the welcome Lord_Finnson and yeah i am from Suomesta... but no i havent seen 128 mb radeon 8500 anywhere in finland... i use http://www.mbnet.fi/hintaseuranta/etusivu.asp to search for new products and best prices on them, and it doesnt have 128 mb radeons yet... i am also beginning to wonder when the Hercules 3d prophet 8500 LE that i ordered is gonna arrive.. first the online shops said its coming 6.3., then 14.3., then 16.3., then 20.3. and now the date is 27.3..... assuming this is the correct date, it would hopefully be just in time for Jedi Knight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangMatt302 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I make about $294 US dollars in about 21 days at my afterschool job. I also need to save some money for my '68 302 Mustang. I also need to buy a better, superb video card for my computer. Hummm....what can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_FinnSon Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 i am also beginning to wonder when the Hercules 3d prophet 8500 LE that i ordered is gonna arrive.. I check http://www.indesol.fi/ daily and it already has Hercules Radeon 8500 LE (bulk)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracken Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Just so you all know, JO uses a MODIFIED Q3 engine, so merely d/l-ing the Q3 demo to test isn't that good of an indicator of how good the game will perform. In fact, I reccommend getting the Elite Force MP demo. It's only 30 megs, and it's actually pretty fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoodlyGod Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I read an article somewhere (maybe Tom's hardware, can't say for sure) that said the cards with 128 megs of RAM aren't worth it. For the life of me I can't remember why that is, but that's what it said. And if I were you I'd go for the Radeon 8500 because of the price and features. I saw some benchmarks that had it beating out the Geforce3 Ti-500 in every test, and the gap got bigger at the higher resolutions. You can see the whole article here... http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/01q4/011107/ -Noodly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I reccommend getting the Elite Force MP demo. It's only 30 megs, and it's actually pretty fun. Actully it uses a heavy modified Q3 Team Arena engine! So getting an elite force demo is not all that bad to see if it works but I would try TA because it has the bigger worlds and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
