...for AH, you can see my old benchmark was 26 FPS..last night I installed new Geforce 2 with default settings, V-Sync on, and Det.drivers (newest out, 7.24 or something).

Now, I did forget to turn clutter off, but my FR increase was only 3 FPS, from 26 to 29...I believe this is due to the limitation of the CPU, ie. as Fishu stated, I've 'discovered' my bottle neck in my system, I've reached the capacity of the 550.

I will post my FR again tonight with CLUTTER OFF.


Alittle disappointed, but I did notice that the FR seems a bit better around smoking fields.

Regards.

Rip make sure u have FSAA off too.
whats ur CPU old p3 550? p3 550e or eb?
u can try OCing your CPU alittle to help out too. if u want u can call me, i have a GF2  64 ddr. email me ill send phone #

I have a P2 400 with 128mb of PC100 SDRAM and a Geforce 2 with 32MB on it. I used to get 19-21 FPS constant with my Voodoo 2, now I get about 45-55 at 1024x768. With clutter on too btw.

Rip,

   Can I make a suggestion.  Try out this GeForce utility.  Use the " fast setting" button in the lower right corner

Thanks Vati.

More follow up.

6.50 and (6.51?) Drivers decreased FR, the best drivers that worked for me are the latest (7.52 I believe, not at home, so hard to check).

Interesting note: with 1040 res I get 26 FPS in the AH benchmark, with 1280 res I get 32 FPS !!  So I not only gained 7 FPS, but am using a better resolution too!

I might add that I now get about 23 FPS flying thru the smoking ruins of an airfield, whereas before with the 1024 res and TNT2, I would get about 12-15.

Thats a big change..

yes Fishu, it is!  Overall FR in the bench marked increased 25%, but the BIGGEST improvement is the way that GeForce 2 Pro handles smoke!  I can now chase a bogie thru the smoke without the thing turning into a slide show! Wooo Hooo...end of the month I'm going from a 550 to 800 coppermine chip...so, I should be set for another year! (800 chip is costing me $75 bones)
