What resolution are you playing at? 1024x768 should be plenty, I get 20-30 at this res, with maxed out effects and eye-candy. Bear in mind this is on a 256k cable modem connected to a AthlonXP 1800+ with 384 of DDR and a PCI Geforce 4 MX 420w/64mb of VRAM. I usually play(I say usually I haven't been able to for quite a while) on 20v20 servers with Custom Maps.
There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.

I don't? Ha. Unless you increase the voltage, it's difficult to do much damage to a CPU through overclocking.
|
BS, your CPU and GPU function better if they are cooler, the colder the better. Besides, if you let your components run too hot, they'll wear off faster.

His CPU would also "function better" at 3.5 GHz compared to 3 GHz. Depending on the kind of cooling one has, the P4 Cs can reach some pretty high speeds. If his case has no fans or something, then maybe heat could be a problem. Overclocking can reduce the lifespan of your CPU or GPU. But then again, if he's not completely happy with a 3 GHz CPU now, he probably won't be in 3 years, either.

[quote="Xtrm2Matt"]Bare in mind, i play at 1024x768 @ 85Hz with my GeForce FX 5600XT 256MB, i get more or less a constant FPS of 85 in 24-32 player games. It doesn't drop below 50FPS in 40 player games.

Prove it so we can call your bluff you lying sack of , NEVERMIND.
Go on now, take a screenshot in fastcon, of you getting this so called 85 solid fps, and dont be looking at the sky to cheat lol.

Note that Pentiums cannot actually burn or melt as they automatically reduce the speed when they run too hot. You could basically run a P4 without a heatsink, but everything would take ages to load.
There are actually quite a lot of people who have Pentiums like this which run with too high temperatures and cause the CPU to be slower, but the user rarely knows of this,
It's a different story with Athlons, they can and will burn/melt with too high clockspeeds, unless the motherboard has some safety features.
There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

WTF - My system is EQUIVELENT to yours except for the memory (you have 1gb and I have 512mb), and you get 85 fps in a 40 player game? Impossible. You should be getting 40 - 50 fps in a 40+ game. I run Renegade in windowed mode on 1024x768 resolution (same as desktop) which doesn't look any different than full mode, and it doesn't limit your FPS, meaning I've reached up to 150 fps before.

Indeed, it is IMPOSSIBLE with your system just like mine to get a SOLID 85 fps in a 40 player game. No, I don't have bad cooling. I have 3 case fans and a decent cpu fan, and my Athlon XP 2600+ runs at 70ºF - 90ºF. My video card, being the same exact one as yours, is actually overclocked 25mhz above the original core speed, so it's even faster than yours. I seriously don't believe you can get a SOLID 85 fps in a 40 player game, unless you are looking at the sky the entire game.
