What is the best GeForce tweaking utility according you, folks? NVmax, RivaTuner or GTU? Any your comments, experiences are appreciated. I do not have any special knowledge abou hardware or programming, so I do not plan to use some low-level tuning, just want to get from my GeFOrce 2 MX the best for OPF. And I am afraid of experimenting and trying every 3 tools because I do not want to end with completely messing system and graphic. Thanks for your answers.

I have PIII 450 MHz, GeForce 2MX, but I consider upgrading on Celeron 1.2 MHz (Tualatin) + i815EPT Pro board + GeForce2MX + 256 Mb RAM, since I was told, that this combination offers best stability and money/power rate. Do you think I will be able to play resolution 800x600x32 without any lagging even such missions like "battlefields"? I checked both color depths 16 and 32 bit on computer of my friend and I have to admit, that I did not notice any substantial difference in visual quality. While QuakeIII in 16 and 32 color does make difference, I did not see this in OPF. And, by the way, which version od Detonators is the best for GeForce2? I considered to download latest version of XP Detonators to improve frame rate, but there are some reports on discussion boards, that these detonators are not very stable and does not offer much improvemet to GeForce 2 (they are designed mainly for GeForce3). So which version is the best for GF2?

Well, thanks. And what about the difference between 16 and 32 bit color mode? A have still a low-end machine, so OPF in 32 bit color depth worthwhile to upgrade my hardware? I tried to evaluate visual differences, but the game was so choppy in 32, that I could not (sorry for my English

Is there any visual difference between HW T&L engine and normal Direct3D? Maybe I am blind, but I cannnot see even much difference between 16 and 32 bit image in OPF. What differences should I concentrate on? I am sorry, but I know nothing about these graphic issues. Thank you.
