Kuroshi Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Personally, I'd say that the p3 450 should work better than the 500 celeron. I think that the problem is the Voodoo 4. Do you have as up-to-date drivers as you can get on it? I'm not really an expert on the last couple lines of 3dfx cards, but I'd suggest getting a newer card. The lower-end Geforce cards are pretty cheap nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunis Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Originally posted by Kuroshi The lower-end Geforce cards are pretty cheap nowadays. and the HIGH-END ATI cards should be around the same price, so i would take one of those.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that in the menus leave shadows as simple or off, turn geometry down [this is curved surface setting], and set detail for textures to medium. Other tricks, make sure you have NO background apps, update your drivers [all drivers, not just video], set sound to low quality, and scandisk and defrag your harddrive.

Not unless your talking 5 finger discount....... From pricewatch radeon 8500 128 + 13-16 shipping. GF2 TI 64MB w/special fan and 3dmark $76 + $8-$15 shipping. Not even close, though whether its worth the extra money or not is 'another' story. You can get a lower end radeon as cheap though either the 7500 or the 7000. but the 8500 is GF3 ti 200 material, pricewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mew49 Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Uhm.. The Radeon 8500's performance is on par of that of a GeForce3 Ti500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
