Title: New Card Questions
Post by: Mystic2 on February 03, 2005, 12:00:33 AM
Thanx for all of the information on my previous question.  I just installed the ATI 9600XT  256 DDR.  To be honest, I didnt really see a major difference in my FR'S.... course I didnt have a whole lot of time to play with it.  I used the ATI drivers that came with the card, but was wondering if I should try the Omega drivers.  Also, does anyone have any suggestions on how to tweak the card.  I am using a work computer now, so I dont have all of my system information.  I do know that I have a P4 card, I think 2.4ghz, 80g HD, 512DDR.  Anyway, any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

OH YEAH,,... one more question.. How can I tell if my system can handle 1g DDR.  I am running one 512 chip, but I have 2 slots.  I think this would help a ton too.

Alot depends on your previous card and your monitors refresh rate. For example I have a Ti-4200 and get ~59 FPS in the tower at default. I have a X800 pro coming (newegg). The increase wont be much since its limited to 65 FPS by windows unless I change the setting then it would be ~85 FPS since thats my monitor refresh (I think).

Im betting the drivers that came with your card are not the most current, either.  download the upgrade.  I personally would stay away from Omega drivers.  Been seeing posts about problems people have been having running this game with the Omega's.
