Jcy, what resolution/color are you using in the game?  I'm using 1024/32 bit for my benchmark.

TNT2 is a bottleneck above 500-600mhz.

rip

your benchmark is how im setup
all the time. 1024x768  32 bit
and when i get into clouds or smoking
fields  it gets low. if i fly right
thru smoke it gets choppy. i feel like
i should be better. it didnt go up from
my p3 500 and gigabyte MB. i uppgraded and
go no better fps. now i need a better card
so i can get full use of my processor.

edit: i did the benchmark test that fishu
talked about from madonion, and i scored
a 1402. dont know if thats good or bad

well, I got 1250 with Celeron 566@850 and TNT2 in 3d mark 2001
(memory doesnt seem to add for much kick in 3d mark)
I'd say thats quite bad, but will get alot better with new video card, guaranteed. (if its also newer technology  )

jcy, thats a pretty low score for the hardware you have. I'd say your video card and RAM are your bottlenecks. I get about 3800-4000 on the 3DMark, and I'm running a 700mhz Athlon, Geforce 256 and 196mb of PC100 on a Asus K7M mobo. You should look into getting some more RAM if you are going to upgrade. I just ordered 256mb of PC133 for $69. Also picked up my Geforce for $100. It's an older 256 with 32mb of SDRAM, but it still gave me a big improvement over my old TNT2.

*EDIT- btw, I get 47fps using Rips hangar benchmark.

933p3
128 133rdram
gelforce pro 256 32mb
This is a Dell system , don't know mobo .

4456 with 6.50 drivers
4673 with 7.52

Nothing is overclocked but
I used Lep's site to setup pc . Plus
Norton's Utilites , speeddisk etc , this
seems to really speed up apps loading .

Just learned about this program last week reading this board . Seems ok to test drivers etc I guess . Have to try it on my old 333 66bus with ATI card and see how low it goes  

A lot of nice info here , learning alot on this board , ty all .

I'd suggest to get video card first
with AH, memory isnt that big issue, if isnt playing some game like B-17 II.

Check this article out before you buy Rip,also look at Skuzzys benchmark site.

There's link on the AH main page to Fradim's Aces High benchmark page.
 http://www.grandeavenida.com/fps/index.cfm?Game=2

He uses a benchmark test pretty well the same as the one Ripsnort is using.  You can see what fps others with similiar systems are
getting, and help out others by posting your own.
