<div class="IPBDescription">just like the title says :D</div> I recently built a comp from scratch, the specs on it are:

p4 2.4ghz processor
asus p4g8x deluxe mobo
1 gig pc2100 ram (running dual channel)

and i just got done putting in a radeon 9700 pro card.

now, for half life and any of its mods, i get a pretty constant 100fps
same for war3, jedi knight, etc. excellent performance

in unreal tournament 2003 however, i seem to get only like a constant 50-60fps in closed spaces, and down to like 20-40fps in the large open ended ones. i was hoping being the radeon it could be a little better. i've got the settings on it all set at average, or "normal", whatever they are. not exactly sure what kinda tweaks i should be making under the display section of my control panel, any suggestions you can offer greatly appreciated <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Here's a link to the manual (which you might already have) - <a href='http://mirror.ati.com/support/manualpdf/Rade9700.pdf' target='_blank'>http://mirror.ati.com/support/manualpdf/Rade9700.pdf</a>

    The OpenGL settings are on page 26. Make sure that V-sync is set to off. Then adjust your Texture and Mipmap Level Detail to suit your needs.

    You are running in OpenGL aren't you?

    Went through the manual, I'm mostly well aware of what all the things it mentions *do*, still no luck with getting better fps with ut2k3 though.
    I'm *assuming* to get it going in opengl for sure, i can add -opengl to the application's extension from my start menu, tried that, but still no luck <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I guess the only thing i can blame it on is immature drivers maybe? dunno, i'll play around with my bios and see what i can come up with
