TNT 2 Ultra

Vincent

Will a TNT 2 Ultra run okay on a p166 32mb ram?, looking for 72fps 1024x740 on glquake.

Yes, but it will be a total waste on a good card. Doubt your cpu can handle 72 fps, but if it can anyway get a voodoo 3, they perform much better on low end systems than a tnt 2. And see if you have any jumpers on your mb that will let you overclock it to 200 mhz, on a 166 thats a fair improvement.

1024x740 is really not needed on glquake btw. Maybe u just wanna test it or something but I run 640x480 and its perfect.
300 odd fps, no glitches and appearance wise I dont see that 1024x768 (thats the res u meant mayb?) looks any better on Q1. Of course the other quakes are diff but thats just imho.
I have a voodoo2 in a pII333 getting that fps btw (with 128mb ram tho and I know fps for internet play is diff)

I'll be upgradein my puter in about 6 months, just need to know will it be smooth playin glquake, quake2 and half-life, 800x600 40fps would do for internet play?, i can't overclock my pc it's protected from overclocking

ehh dont think that will play halflife or quake 2, even quake 1 on a p166 is annoying unaccelerated after playing it on anything better. With a voodoo 2 or 3 you should have a perfectly playable quake 1 system tho.

I'm gettin this for £90, and i'm gettin a new motherboard, processor in 6 months, so i can put the tnt2 into that. It has to be better than the 2mb inbuilt graphics i have at the moment

I rekon hold out 4 the new pc vince m8.
The prices of video cards will have dropped.
The specs will have increased.
And you wont have to go to the hassle of installing the new card in ure pityful pc

Vincent

Anyone sellin a voodoo2 cheap? i can't stand 300x240 res and my fps dropping under 20fps in battles

TNT1 v Voodoo 2/3 ??

quozl

voodoo2 not tnt, it'll perform better in your system. i swear

Vincent

Guess i'll head my way over to the old for sale boards then
