DOOM 3 Time demo Scores
20.08.04 at 07:55:18

This is my first post on your forum. I have a V5 5500 AGP but I haven't used it for a loooong time Cry

Anyway, My current rig : AMD Athlon XP 2000 - 512 MB RAM - Gainward GeForceFX 5700Ultra Golden Sample - WinXP

To run the time demo, press Ctrl+Alt+~ at the main menu. Type : Timedemo demo1 and then ENTER

Try it three or so times and then you get a better idea of FPS you get on your current settings.

1st try » 27.5 FPS
2nd try » 30.8 FPS
3rd try » 30.8 FPS

Oh yes, it was running at 640x480, Medium Detail, 2xAA

Come chat with us on Planetmars.co.za/forums. Very nice people.
Adieu

The problem is the MotherBoard. I can't find the right board for my card. Once I have the board, the rest is easy. I would love to see my card in action again. staring at the window feeling nostalgic

*Off Topic*
Thx for the offer paulpsomiadis, but I live in South-Africa. The exchange rate from R (Rand) to Pound is R6.70 for 1 Pound witch makes it way to expensive for me. I'll rather check in our local Junk Mail newspaper for a board. The problem is, I don't know wich boards to look for ??? Embarrassed

Luckily people here sell alot of second hand PC's for almost next to nothing, you just have to know what to look for Wink

I want to build a PIII for my V5 - that sounds strange, doesn't it - but what board will be best?

Anyway, Doom3 is so dark I'm thinking of editing the .ini file to change the gamma so I can actually see what I'm doing. Flashlight my a$$

As for the latter question, if you're looking for an MB for your V5500... It will have to be an older model mainboard that supports 3.3V on the AGP card slot... Check THIS thread: - http://www.falconfly-central.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=techtalk;action=displ... Hope that's O.K.! 8)

I also tweaked some things and now I am able to play the game on 800x600, even 1024x768 although it gets slow when there are more than 2 creatures in the screen. I still need to run time demo again to see if there were any improvements on speed.

Is it possible to upload a file to this forum? Maybe this file has been posted. I'll check first.

@Obi-Wan_Kenobi,

5500 AGP.

Okay that's very good for a 4,5 year old card, then i suppose that Doom3's core is still based on de Q3A engine... Otherwise this couldn't be possible.

But I've heard that even Half Life2 is possible on our VSA-100 based cards!, it seems to be that the core of the Valve2 engine still runs on DirectX 7.0 how funny.

I thought I read that at 3dfxzone.it somewhere.
