With my recent upgrade a GeForce 4 Ti4200. I must admit I am not too fond of the GeForce FX series (but its not terminaly bad, so no worry), so I opted for a card of the previous generation.

Before that, I had an GeForce 2MX I used to play NC with.

nVidia GeForce3 Ti500 64Mb

Ive also got 2 gig of DDR 2700 :)

07-10-03, 13:50
that explains your fps rating cause fps is cpu related in neocron

Jester,

The speed of your xp2600 depends on which core and fsb speed it is, it could either be 1.97 ghz, 2.08 ghz or 2.13ghz.... anyway, ill stop being a spartass techie... and uh... get back to work before i get a slap off me boss for being on this forum again :lol:

Should stay away from the FX cards, a GF4 is better :P

I think its funny that nvidia got caught cheating on benchmarks LOL

well I get around 120 fps average... ~50 at OP wars now and that was also what I got at tezla when there was 60 ppl there fighting

well im not all that bothered about OP wars, i get about 90 FPs and roughly 40 at big battles, which is enough not to warrant spending another £300 on my already over specked rig.






XP3000 400mhz fsb running at 2.1 ghz.

Ive also got 2 gig of DDR 2700

I have the same CPU but with 3gig of DDR 3200, i find the 400Mhz memory to work better with the CPU, alot less quirks since i upgraded my ram.

FX5600 256MB (non-Ultra:( )
Athlon XP 2800+ Barton 333 MHz FSB (running at 2.23 GHz)
1 GB Corsair TWINX Dual Channel DDR PC2700

90 to 110 fps in my apartment
50 to 70 in the wastes
40 in a very crowded Plaza 1 (25 to 30 with all windows open)

I plan to buy the FX5900 Ultra after I buy a new montior.:D
I am still debating CRT vs. LCD, though, but that is another topic.

I have an Asus A7N8X Duluxe which can do upto 3GB (it has 3 RAM slots) of RAM, but the fastest 1GB sticks I've been able to find is PC2100, unless I've been looking in the wrong places.

Nearly all boards that I have used that can take PC3200 DDR will only accept it in the first 2 banks or upto a 1.5/2 gb limit :confused:

GF4 ti4800se .. Basically it's a overclocked ti4600 with AGP-8x and 128Mb of RAM. I hate my card 'cause I get like 5 to 8 FPS in op fights @ Tezla. That's why I hate fighting there :\

How many times do we have to repeat ourselves : Neocron runs for 90% on CPU Power so fuck your graph card, If you aint got the CPU/Ram you aint get the FPS

Oh and i get 100 fps in my appartment
Pentium III @ 1000Mhz , 512 MB SDRAM and a GeForce 4 Ti4200 with 128MB ram

I'm not telling "how much" fps i get @ op wars but it comes to this : My fingers suffice to count the fps , and no i didnt lose any

i go the 2.6 jsut before it went out of stock :D

the XP 3200, at 400mhz FSB Barton is 2.2ghz, 1.65V operating voltage and 512k Cache.

information from AMD's website and official Thermal and Electrical Specification of all AMD Processors...


Dont try to out-do a techie.... O_o it _will_ get blown back in your face...








Anyone remember Artricia and his 3ghz P4 Barton ? :lol: :lol: now that _was_ funny shit seeing everyone's reaction there

o.O its a 2.6 barton core AMD

not a 3.2

dunno what run speed its at so why u bitchin

and that was a reply cos u said u hadn't seen a barton abouve 2.2 gig (before u put the 3.2 bit on the end)

2.6... thats a XP2600 not a 2.6... o_O

AMD's arent like Intel's. They have a codename depending on their clock speed and fsb speed...

When you said 2.6 AMD anyone would put 1 and 1 together and come out with a 2.6ghz athlon... no such thing retail yet. Not the XP2600 Athlon that you actually meant o_O



[Edit]
For Clarity

XP3200 = 2.2ghz CPU (400 fsb)
XP3000 = 2.2ghz CPU (400 fsb)
XP3000 = 2.167ghz CPU (333 fsb)
XP2800 = 2.083ghz CPU (333 fsb)
etc etc

The name mean's dick really when working out what the speed is, thats why when you said you had a 2.6 i presumed you had a 2.6ghz PC and not a XP2600 as a XP2600 runs at 1.917ghz on a barton core...

What motherboard are you using?


Abit NF7-S v2.0 nForce2

this is the first board i came across that would take all 3 GB, you can buy the memory from Corsair or one of their few stockists.

I'm surprised Fenix doesn't have some top of the line video card o_O, he's always bragging about his 1337 FPS, maybe he knows something we don't. I got a TI 4200, uber card for the dollar.

Well since this is a video card discussion ill ask it. Im a gonna upgrade from my old ass Geforce 2 MX 200 (not bad for a piece of shit card), and was just wonderin how all you ATI guys have been doing on Neocron and games like BF 1942, Jedi Knight 2 and Ghost recon and etc. Wanna know if ATI 'till has bad drivers or not.

WhiteWolf
07-10-03, 22:22
from many reviews i would stick with Geforce and not go with aTi. Personaly i like Nvida better then ATI for many reasons.. I just bought my Geforce 4 4800SE and it smokes. :) I was gonna get a Geforce FX 5600 256MB but reviews on newegg and other sites basicaly said for gaming the G4 4800 is still the best for gaming over the FX 5600.

yeah i stick by what whitewolf said :( unfortunatly :(

my Gforce 4800 SE is faster in benchmarks :/ new Geforce cards suck big time :/ ( and i am a nvidia fan)

Ati are far far better atm :/

the only Gfrorce FX better that the 4800 SE by any worth while margin is the 5900 with 256 DDR mem and its mega bucks :(
