Capt Canuck Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 Right now I'm running CM with Win 98 SE PII 300 mhz 20 G HD 128 Mg RAM I don't have a 3dfx card yet, but will be getting one next week MUSE Maxi Sound Card I'm running 16-bit Colour at 800 by 600 pixels Should I be running it at 24 bit colour at a higher pixel rating? Right now CM does look a little, I'm, not like the pictures to say the least Would that be resolved with the 3dfx card? Any help would be appreciated!!

Wilhammer Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 I had a 3dfx card, a VooDoo 2. I need to replace it to get full CM enjoyment, and after much research, I felt it best to buy a Xentor 32MB Ultra TNT 2 video card, which I feel is the best card for my system I could buy. 350 MhZ Pentium II 128 MB SDRAM Asus P2B Motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Clark Posted January 7, 2001 Share Posted January 7, 2001 I have an AMD K6-2 @380 mhz, 80 mb ram, Voodoo 3 3000 PCI, and 15" monitor. When I had a Voodoo 2 I could not use the transparent smoke, and had LOTS of slowdown on big medium to huge maps. I also could not use many mods. Now with the Voodoo 3 (outdated, I know, but suits my price and purpose) I am happy with how everything looks and runs. I run at 16 bit, 800X600. I still have some slowdown with large maps, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Canuck Posted January 7, 2001 Author Share Posted January 7, 2001 Yeah, right now I have no transparent smoke, keep in mind I still have the demo((is that why I have no transparent smoke?) What kind of money will I be looking at if I need a new card~$150-200 Canadian? How much does the Voodoo 3 cost? Anyway, Thanks! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
