phil stanbridge Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 from ear to ear.. I've got one of these new 3.0C 800mhz fsb P4's. I've managed to get it running 600mhz faster, and that's on air! Mightily impressed so far. The only bottleneck I'm hitting is the memory bandwidth and until faster specified memory hits the market there's nothing we can do about it. Should be great with CMBB and CMAK when it shows. Now.. do I run with the 9700 Pro or the Ti4200?? Hmmm... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 That sounds great Phil, congrats. For me, i haven't noticed much of a difference in performance from my old P3 733MGz to my new P4 3GHz. This is in relation to the computer/human player thinking part and the computing part. Im assuming the classic nvidia driver issue is separate from the computing part.(moving around the map with sluggish fps) This is for the CM games only of course, other newer games run super smooth. I got the NOW older 533MHz FSB and 512MB RDRAM PC 1066. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 You only really notice the difference in larger engagements I find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil stanbridge Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 Absolutely! My secondary system will be for CM**. This will be home to the Ti4200. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sgt. Emren Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 9700!!! 9700!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Yeah, forget the GF, get the 9700 (pro). Be warned!! Serious text problems in CM with the Radeon drivers (but you get those with NVidia too, so...), but overall it beats the TI4200 in all respects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaylord Focker Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I have the 9700 pro, i do not see any text problems with CMBB unless i enable Anti Aliasing. Sounds like an awsome rig by the way! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
