I have that exact system, but a way better video card (Geforce 6800), yet half the memory.. And on lowest settings possible, I get about 40-70 fps, although it drops lower... =/
I get 70 FPS constant, ultra quality, 1024 x 768.. Full AA and full AAF on (per driver setting) in Doom 3.
I get about 40-50 fps, varying per level in HL2, 800 x 600 all settings turned down, Vsync off.
And you would say Doom 3 is more GPU intensive? I seriously doubt it :E
x800 has up to 16 Pixel Pipelines (not sure if it's only on the Platinum Edition though)
6800 GT and Ultra both have 16 Pixel Pipelines, the standard has 12.
But if you want to save some money, you could go for the slightly cheaper 6600 GT, also with PS 3.0, 12 Pixel Pipelines and it...
PCI is crap, AGP goes up to "8x" speeds, PCI-X (Express) goes up to "16x" speed... It has double bandwith etc... But so far, not much more then a 1% or 2% performance boost over AGP cards, that'll change soon enough I guess
I believe he took it offline, I still got it here.. Once I get my dad's login for my new family website I'll host it.. If you want it now you can add me on aim or msn and I'll send it to you :")
Alright, it abso****inglutely rocks :)
I shall wait a bit before I make another request, I don't want to seem... eh... what's it called.. greedy?
(because what would be fun (and more challenging) for the dissolver to explode on contact and do little damage instead of dissolving ;))
A strider should be able to shoot down rockets.. Then it's the most dangerous enemy by far.. And the Garg was easy, tentacle 1 grenade and it hides.. I don't know...
I read alot of threads, just not alot of them happen to be on the coding forum (since I'm not a coder myself)... I do get emailed all replies to this topic though... But thanks for answering the question :)
That's enhancements.. But no, other then turning of cl_smooth (setting it to 0) and downloading the new beta drivers from Nvidia (gave me a 20-30% increase in fps, kinda silly) I can't suggest anything else
Edit: Omega drivers for Ati seem good
