CoolColJ Posted November 21, 1999 Share Posted November 21, 1999 Hi JUst bought the Geforce last week Its overpowered for CM ANything that can crank Quake 3 demo test v1.09 at 50+ fps at 1024x768 32 bit colour has a bit of muscle Incidently I'm running the core at 145 mhtz and the memory at 220 mhtz, up from 120/166. With my TNT2 card, the screen would jerk with the arrow keys in Cm, not so with the Geforce silky smooth, average FPS must be over 70+ fps hELL i'M GETTING 140+ fPS in Quake 2! ;0 ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 11-21-99).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted November 22, 1999 Share Posted November 22, 1999 I know the feeling I went from a pokey 10 fps to WELL over 30+ (60+ in some cases) when I got my new system and card. Really cool to see the difference. Oh, and my card is only an older 16MB one too, so the thought of having a top of the line card is a little overwhelming Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard III Posted November 22, 1999 Share Posted November 22, 1999 Oh good, now we can bug Steve to support hardware transform & lighting in Combat Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted November 22, 1999 Author Share Posted November 22, 1999 Yes! Even slow computers can benefit from this!! That will solve the shadow problem...with no cpu hit, and a hardware T+L moon/sun with its position related to the time of day - yes! I must say CM looks a lot better on the Geforce, the colours are very nicely saturated, I'll get some screenshots up, once I figure it out. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted November 22, 1999 Share Posted November 22, 1999 Don't do that, 'cause I just made the decision to prevent myself from buying any computer upgrades unless something on my system breaks. (The money I save goes into retirement planning) If you show how great the new GeForce card is, it may weaken my resolve. Case in point: I WAS debating buying a hard drive to replace my aging 3GB (YES, THREE!!) OEM because I was getting tired of having to uninstall one game before installing another. (Baldur's Gate goes on, Diablo comes off; FightingSteel goes on, Baldur's Gate comes off; MechCommanderGold goes on, FightingSteel comes off....) It woulda cost me about $200 for a good 13GB ATA66 drive and controller card; money that I'm now using elsewhere. However, after CM gets loaded up, I'm pretty sure I won't have to worry about installing any more new games for a while (CM goes on, nothing else needs to go on until CM2 comes out) DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
