Unreal Tournament and RAM
Hi. I have installed win2k many times but allways gone back to win98 due to the lack of drivers for some of my hardware. The thing I have been pleased with is the performance in UT in D3D on a GeForce.
Hi.
I have installed win2k many times but allways gone back to win98 due to the lack of drivers for some of my hardware. The thing I have been pleased with is the performance in UT in D3D on a GeForce. Much better than in win98. I used to have 256MB ram but now I have only 196MB. I didnt think about it and installed win2k (now that all the drivers I need is here) and fired up UT. hmmm the performance was not as good as I remember. The game chached really heavy on my harddrive.
Has anyone else experienced UT using a LOT of RAM? I guess I just have to get back the 64MB a friend borrowed.

I have a P3 550 and 256MB with a TNT2U (5.13 Drivers). When I ran Q3 and UT on this driver rev, I gave up on dual booting with Win98. Both games run so well on Win2K that I only have 98 on my other machine just for controller/CD-RW support. As a matter of fact, UT runs better in Win2K than in Win98! I am not certain why you would have problems, but I know that I can run UT at 1024 in 32bit w/o any probs.

I've also got 256MB it appears that this may be the optimal threshold for WIn 2K. Remeber that the operating system itself uses a hefly amount of RAM before you even think about loading any games.
I have 128mb RAM and UT really sucks under
Win2000! I use a TNT1 on D3D and the game could run faster if there weren't those hard loading times during the play!

Your framerates in UT will peak in the 40-45 fps. I've seen benchmarks of a gigahertz athlon and a geforce DDR get 45fps....that seems about as high as UT is gonna go(for now) but hey thats fine with me.....muns sweet as hell on my tnt2 in 1024@ 32bit color....can't wait to see it on the V5 5500 i'm gonna be grabbing. =)
Yepp the GeForce has similar frames than the Voodoo3 with one major difference. Even though the Average fps is the same the MIN FPS is much lower. In a big room with some people I can get unlucky and get 15fps-
But I think the prosessor is very important in UT in d3d. I have heard people have 50fps all the time in 1024. And they have like PIII-700 or something. I have Celeron 450 so I guess its a little slow
