CRAPPY Performance with ATI Rage 128 GL

Recommended Posts

Ok, my computer at first came with a TNT2 M64 Pro with 16MB of RAM and I could play at a very decent and smooth framerate in Operation Flashpoint. My dad's computer's motherboard has confilct with the ATI Rage 128 GL graphics card so we switched cards and this ATI card worked fine in my system, no errors and no crashes, I got the latest ATI driver as well. (The TNT2 used the default WinXP driver a installation, I did not use the Detonators)

I re-installed Operation Flaspoint, applied all the latest V 1.42 patch but to my horror when I fired it up, it ran LIKE A Slide show!!! SOOOO SLOW!! This ATI card has 32Mb of RAM which in theory should be little faster or equal to the TNT2 above! What is GOING ON HERE!! HELP!! I really want to play OPERATION FLASHPOINT! Please help me.

My Spec:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+

768DDR RAM

Compaq Motherboard ( UWAVE )

1X 120GB Western Digital 7200 RPM HD

1X 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax 7200 RPM HD

ATI Rage 128 GL (32MB RAM)

Ermm, the amount of memory doesn't tell you whether its faster or not. Basicly, the TNT2 is obviously faster than your ATI rage 128. So if you want to have good peformance, you will need to re-switch both cards. And perhaps search for a solution to the incompatibility on your dad's comp.

Any card before Radeon from ATI sucks in 3d gaming.

YOu should need a new PC if that card keeps having conflicts.

Yup, its a crappy card. You ought to go out and just buy a decent one. Stay away from any Geforce with "MX" in its name - those are the cheapest and the bottom of the barrel of the entire line.

i'm having problems too! I recently installed XP on my system and I have a nvidia TNT 2 card. When I reinstalled OFP, the game is a slidshow! It was running fine on Windows ME, but now I can't stand it. If someone could tell me what the #### is wrong! By the way, does Detonator XP have any affect on the way the game plays? Also, it's not my computer that crappy, it works fine on all other games but this one!the
