in win98se with my celeron 850 and geforce256, i got 1700. in win2k, i got 900. with my new geforce2ultra i got 2300. wtf?also why do a bunch of games not even support open gl in win2k (namely homeworld)? edit: i was referring to in 3dmark2001 btw This message has been edited by CatKnight on May 11, 2001 at 09:27 PM Posted by DuSTman on May 13 2001,15:14
Well, usually win2k game performance is just a little bit behind win9x performance.. A few fps usually. I read an anandtech article recently where they compared nvidias driver performance in win2k and win9x. In just about every test the win2k installation came within a handful of FPS to the win9x one.. so i don't expect the half performance thing is in the least bit normal.. try re-installing the drivers.. directx etc. make sure you have the agp drivers for your mobo installed I don't know why homeworld and cataclysm can't use opengl in win2k. They could in NT4.. i shall have to research this. Posted by Rhydant on May 17 2001,03:43
