Anyone using GeForce2 GTS with GPL?

If so, do you (can you) use FSAA (at what resolution), how does it look and what's the framerate hit like. I tried it on an MX card, and while it looked pretty good, the framerate was fairly poor. I believe a V5 will run FSAA at good framerates, but have heard that the GeForce FSAA isn't as good. Looking forward to comments. Phillip...

I've tried both and the V5 is better for GPL. Better frame rates with the V5 in D3D, at 1024x768 2xFSAA. The geforce2 gives me worse frame rates at the same settings and the FSAA looks uglier than the V5. I am running: Cel II 566 @850 256 PC133 CAS3 RAM V5 5500 @175 MHz clock. Hope this helps. PS. I tried the ELSA Gladiac GTS 32Mb DDR AGP card.

I'm running with 4x FSAA on a Cel2 566@700/128 MB/Generic GF2 GTS with Detail Bias halfway and mirrors on Cars Only and I get very good, smooth graphics and only minor slowdowns in full fields of AI cars. Running at 1024x768. The GF2 handles high resolutions very well. Waiting on a new Cel2 600@(hopefully)900 though. Should cure the slowdowns. -- ------------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten GPLRank: +14.51 http://home.earthlink.net/~morganv00/ ------------------------------------- "Phillip Archer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:940e0f$adc$[email hidden]... > If so, do you (can you) use FSAA (at what resolution), how does it look and > what's the framerate hit like.

Run without the FSAA. It makes the fonts blurry and it drags the GPUs down...go with 1600x1200, get better framerates and less eye strain. I use a GTS with a 966 P3 and get 25fps and above at all times with these settings. Good stuff!

I'm running GPL with 4x4 FSAA and full graphics at 1280x1024 with LOD Bias full tilt and it runs and looks fantastic.

I run it and all games now at 4x FSAA in full detail as well at 1280X1024 and it looks and runs awesome. On my new Dell 8100 1.5ghz THX Certified system.

Could you guys give us your GPL core.ini settings for the D3D rasterizer? Also, would you mind telling us what settings you are using for the GF2 Advance tabs in Display Properties? This would be really helpful information.

I hate to break the bad news to you guys, but FSAA on the GeForce cards automatically *SHUTS OFF* at resolutions over 800x600. Try turning off FSAA and running at the same resolution you have been - the graphics will look the same. Now try turning FSAA back on, and resetting the resolution in GPL to 800x600 - now you'll see what FSAA actually looks like on a GeForce. I have a 1GHz T-bird and 64mb GTS, and I have 4xFSAA turned on, but only so that the quarter-screen view in the menu screens looks decent (though it makes the text a little blurry). In-car, I run 1600x1200, and there isn't a hint of antialiasing. Rick "Morris Jones" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
