00M-187 Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I have a 3dFX 3500 tv 16 mb vid ram,, the game runs ok, I use 1280x1024 and all the other settings maxed out. But if Im in ffa running 3 or more players it lags like hell, its not my connection, just wondering what cards everyone is using and how many players can you have in a game and still have it run smooth???

Sith Maximus Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Asus Geforce 3 TI200 for me, ATI Raedon 9700 pro in November for my B-day. But the TI200is cheap right now and offers a good bargain for the performance. I get 130fps on average with all settings maxed at 1024x768 with no fsaa (its a killer). Also you may want to try lowering your resolution to 1024x768. Your running very high right now and that may be a prob for your older card, aso run at high settings, you will not be giving up much.

00M-187 Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 How important is video ram? I've heard the GPU speed is more important, hehehe, I cant beleive im buying a new video card just for this game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Maximus Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Both are important and work hand in hand.

Bilbo Skywalker Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I use geforce2 64m Athlon XP 1800 512m ram 1meg cable connection. I run the game at 1024/768 Most options maxed out, except shadows!!! (doesn't affect the game just makes the shadows look sh*t!) Sometimes lower the textures if the server runs slow, but at full settings it runs fine on multiplayer with anything up to 25+ players. Bilbo.

If your gettin on average 130 fps with no fsaa, why dont you enable it? Even if it drops down as low as 50 fps on average with fsaa enabled, your eyes will still percieve it the same and it will look a hell of a lot better. Oh and i got a p3 600mhz,256mb ram, geforce 3 ti 200 @ 220/510 and i get an average of about 35 fps in duels and 15 fps in ctf. If you have a slow comp like me, buy like a cheap geforce 2 or geforce 3, and go for a cpu upgrade. I only gained about 15 fps from my nvidia tnt2 16mb to my geforce 3 ti200.

teutonicknight Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I have a sucky 32MB NVIDA RIVA TNT2 P3 600 Mhz 256Mb RAM It may not look like much, but she gots it where it counts kid. I can run at 1024 x 768 and every thing on medium detail for duel matches, but I have to switch to 800 x 600 (still on mediuim thoguh) for FFA for my game to be playable....

Ratmjedi Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I'm running a Geforce 3 Ti200 I basically max out all the settings until my card can't support it any more. It's pretty good. I was wondering what Sound Card are you guys using since we are discusing cards. I have Sound Blaster Live. Just like to know what you guys are running.
