Post by: Jospe2 on September 08, 2002, 02:51:28 PM

AH  ....  why has the search function been disabled ???

Need to research Gforce4 ti4200 settings ....

Or does anyone know what the reccomended settings are for
this card.  Direct3D and openGL are.

Open GL (Settings)
- Use fast linear mip mapping linear filtering (on/off)
- Disable support for enhanced CPU instruction set (on/off)
- Buffer flipping mode (on/off)
- Verticle Sync (on/off)
- Anisotropic filtering (on/off)
- Use up to ??? MB of system memory for textering in pce mode

Direct 3D
- Texture anistropic setting 0x,1x,2x,4x,8x ( ??? )
- Mip map detail level
- PCI texture memory size
      use up to  ??? MB of system mem for texture in PCI mode

3D Antialiasing settings
- off, 2x, Quincunx, 4x or 4xS ( Direct 3D only)

- texture sharpening (on/off)


sys specs.  

Dell Dimension 4300  P4 1.6 ghz
512 sdram

Thanks in advance to all for replying ;)

With a GF4, you can play the game with all the settings turned to max on your card.  I've got a GF3 128meg card and all my settings for my card are turned up to max.  

I run it with mipmapping on with the LOD set to -3.0, anisotropy set to Force 8, Vsync on set to 5fps ahead and FSAA set to 4Xs with multitexturing turned on.  I average about 78-85fps in the game and it drops down to about 70-65fps in large furballs.

You should also think about using a tweaker program like RivaTuner or GTU (GeForce Tweak Utility) for your card.  I use RivaTuner because it's the more powerful program out of the two but GTU is the easiest to use.

Thanks akak,

Btw, do you have SD or DR ram ?  Also, are you using DX8.1b ?

I am getting 75fps in the tower but when I get into a big furball
they drop to around 10-20fps ....

Have mipmapping on and using 1024x768 screen.

Did a 3D benchmark and came up with a 3400 score :( ..

Ill DL one of the tweaks and see if that helps aswell.

Old card was Gfroce3ti200  I think even it performed better then
this,  may try to hook it back up.

Again, thanks
