So ur saying ur game runs like ****??? Ive tried running the game @ 1024x768 and was ok but not the same, I need Hi Res!!! lol, I need to run 1280x1024, I have 190 ram and a P3 450. it runs ok, but any more then 3 players its lag city, Im on an ADSL connection.

 

A P3-450 will be your primary bottleneck for jk2 at most of the ordinary resolutions (up to 1024*800 I would think). I have a duron 800 which chokes on more than 4 ppl in the same room.

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.

 

 

First whats fsaa? and how do you monitor your fps? how do i change these settings?

I have an XP 1600 with a Radeon 8500 128mb and even i don't play at 1280x1024 lol.

 

 

It actually works alright, duels are fine, 3 player ffa works, its all good, I actually tried playing TV out on my TV at 640 and was amazing, maybe ill stick to that for now.

Yeah i guess it all depends on what you think is "fine", i assume you rarely ever go over 20fps or so because my other computer is a Duron 600 with a TNT2 m64 and it only achieves an average of about 20-30fps at low details and 640x480. That to me is not fine at all, i am used to upwards of 60+ fps and believe me once you've tasted a silky smooth framerate like that never again would you think 20 is fine. ;)

 

In other words UPGRADE, its a lot cheaper than you might think. Heck you could easily put together a Duron 1ghz+ w/motherboard and a Geforce2 mx for under $200 right now.. and thats Canadian prices, in the states it must be hella cheap.
