new graphics card and I'm so happy

I just installed a new "geforce2" card.
now my mother bord tries to keep up with winamp instead of the other way around. I'm sure it's no big deal to you guys.but I realized how crapy the presets I made are to the rest of you.

I know I said this before but I'm so happy. Like a kid in a candy store.

I just played 2 games that wouldn't play before because I went from 4 meg to 64 on the vid card.

I have a few 100 of ya'lls presets that might as well be bran new.

AVS rules.

you know that the video card doesn't make a huge impact on AVS - actually it barely makes an impact at all.

And it isn't your motherboard that is trying to keep up, but your CPU.

I get what your saying, but I saw Elivs and jeriko double in frame rate. I guess i should have said my 503 Mhz chip is trying to keep up. well any avs now matches the beat. but the keybord input form me is slower.yes' I understand My cpu is a piece of **** but.I got the most tweaked 500Mhz. - machine out there.

Good ol' AVS. Never gets better graphics. 🙂

I saw Elivs and jeriko double in frame rate

Uhm, wouldn't that look kinda bad?

Not if he was getting 5FPS.😛

if you think I'm I screwing around I saw my fps go from an avg of 5 to 16. big whoop right but for me an incredible change. zero lag, not on this piece of sh**.but as near as I could get.yes I bout a cheap computer 4 years ago. but to night I'm stoked.

The hardware blt of the new card could make that much of a difference you know, windows is really slow at software blts.

500 mhz... i'd kill for that

lol, going to buy an AMD 2600+ in a month, with a Radeon 9700+ (128MB, directX 9+ support, etc...). Don't think the AVS's I made till now on my Pentium 266 will still look nice on it, is going to be a speedburst from here (holland) to Tokyo, finally able to do something more with AVS 🙂, now I only have to wait (and work damn hard for it 😉).

my Alienware 3.2GHz PIV Geforce FX 5900 should be coming in soon. I think they sent it off on the 4th and they said it shouldn't take more than 3 or 4 days. I can't wait. I want it now, goddamnit.

sounds good. i hope to get a new computer soon as well. i think i will go with the 2.4GHZ pentium 4 with hyperthreading and hopefully i will be able to get the new geforceFX 5900 with 256MB. now if AVS is still slow with that i don't know what it will take for that to run smoothly at fullscreen

The geforceFX 5900 ultra? 🙂 yay, that's the fastest card on the market now. (though also the loudest, and therefor I suggest you still take the ATI Radeon 9800+ if you want a silent computer. The performance drop is almost nothing (just a tiny bit of 3d mark score, in the games you won't even notice), and the noice level is really a lot lower, which makes it a recommendable buy.)

just my two cents 🙂

that is true Deamon the gefoceFX 5900 will definetly be the top graphics card for very long sense it is just a few more point better than the raedeon but its just my preference i just like to be different instead of everybody else getting the ATI card and the AMD chips i just like to take a little risk now and then and besides the 5900 and raedeon are just about the same price around where i am anyway

I think you forgot a "not" in there somewhere.😛

I am getting that card regardless of volume - I could care less about my computer being "silent".

update -It keep's geting cooler

tonight I thought what the hell.I hooked up an old monitor from my 486 and even though the duel screen support lowered the res. on my second screen to 600x800.the avs played just as fast on both monitors.
maybe the graphics memory on the gforce2 bleed into the crappy ati pro(4meg)or maybe not whatever.all I know is 2 screens take longer to screw with but I can change the avs on the little monitor while waiting it on the other in full screen. oh and yes I went though hell adjusting everything.

nice 🙂.

Not another gfx thread? 😛

I got a 3-10 fps boost when i changed my sdr to ddr 🙂 (depending on preset, example: moon of mana got only 2.5 fps while the presets at avs party 3 got way faster 😁)

I'm really curious to see how much my boost is going to be. Can't wait 😉

saw a display at my local computer store playing avs (god this thing gets around!) on a computer which had 6 flat screan monitors all hooked up. What was cool was

a) That fullscrean render was spread out across the 6 monitors.
b) It was insanely fast (getting on for 40 FPS @ 1024x1168)!
c) They were playing el-vis. (I think it was golden, but i'm not sure.)

It turned out that the pc was a alienware pentium 4 3ghz, with a geforce Fx 9700. awesome!

GeForce FX 5900? Or ATI Radon 9700? Which is it? Or is it a hybrid card?😛

Damn, my sweet ass computer came while I was at work and they couldn't leave it because I have to sign for it.😠

might have been

Might have been.... which one? The ATI, or the Geforce. There is no such thing as a GeForce FX 9700 😉

ati then

I got my new computer now. It's sweet as...anything.

I'm now thinking that the FPS limiter thing may be a good APE to have. Zero-G Maze III gets over 70FPS at 320x200. You can barely see it turning. It turns almost 2 times a second. It's way too damn fast. At 800x600(No pixel doubling) it runs at a reasonable(but somewhat slow) 21FPS.

somewhat slow? 😛 I'd kill for that, though I'm normally working for it now and getting it in a few week. Also the Ati 9700 PRO with it, though I don't quite get why we are always talking about graphics cards here as if they matter to avs 😉

I hope shreyas will get the ape done somewhen.

When i get my new Athlon 64 the boost up from 1GHz will be weird to all of my older Presets.

you're talking about the framerate limiter, eh? Yeah, I can't wait to have it as well.

Uhm... framerate limiter? O_o

Why not just adjust the perfomance in the display options... jeez... 🙄

Because a framerate limiter can be passed with the preset is much smarter then a comment saying "best to watch at xx.xfps" and the anyoing fact that you'll have to adjust it every time.

man just looking at this thread makes me drool for a better pc... right now i'm in a laptop, pentium II mmx, 192 ram in a 228x228 avs screen. i like my tiny little piece of pc though 🙂
