For exxe:
I forgot I had UT99. I just installed it and patched to V4.36. The only way to get it to work is to use the wickedGL mini driver. If you don't already have the latest WickedGL switcher utility installed, download it from Falconfly.de and install it. Once it's installed, you'll need to modify the wglgames.cfg file located in \Program Files\Metabyte\WickedGL by adding the following lines:
"Unreal",unreal.exe,opengl32.dll "Unreal Tournament",UnrealTournament.exe,opengl32.dll
IMPORTANT: you will need to delete two of the other entries because the switcher will crash when you try to run it. It's a max line limit of some sort. Once that is all squared away, run the WickedGL installer and select UT from the list. Then select the \system folder in the Unreal Tournament install directory. Click install hi-res version and you should be good to go.
Switch the renderer to OpenGL in the UT preferences and then frag away. I tested with the training mode and it looks to be good. Very smooth at 1280 x 1024:)
For gamma742:
No issues at all with the P4. The 1 gHz P3s were starving this card severely. I knew all this silicon could do better. I was a bit worried at first with whether the 8232 would like the Soyo mobo. I know this board is considered safe to use with the V5 6000, so I figured I couldn't do much damage. Just to be safe, I install W2K in the box without the 8232 board installed. When it came time to do the deed, I was quick to get the drivers installed and run the Q3D logo test. I was shocked when the frame count @ 1280 x 1024 shot up to 240 fps. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the benchmarks for Quake 3. When compared to the benchmarks on Gary's site, this thing destroyed the V5 6000. I don't have the numbers handy, but it was at least 50% faster with the same detail settings. I just did a fresh install of W2K, so I don't have Q3 loaded up yet.
Of course, all system configs are different and the only way to have a fair face off is if someone donated a V5 6000 to me to perform testing! Anyone??? It was worth a shot.
