Jesus, transform + lighting sure needs a lotta CPU.
I wish I could help you Dave, but my Ti4200 has to serve me well until I upgrade (which is a long way away)
radass

yeah, that's why they offload it to a dedicated GPU :)

ok, ill have to check with her she might have to save up for a bit. i was looking at a new 9200se for her, but a 8500le would perform better for slightly more cost (and are flashable to 8500 i hear)

yea i had that vid running at the the 8500 stock clocks!!!
i think the 8500 was running at 275/275 and the le was 250/250
and it dident mind much when i clocked it up to match the 8500 clocks
an even better helper was the pencil trick to raise the gpu/mem voltages a little bit!
other then the pencil trick i havent modded this card!
if ya still keen ill give my mate dave a call and get it back off him
as he is temporearly holding it for me!
on another note heres a coupe up of some cards with a good idea of how it performs

radass
06-09-2004, 02:44 PM
which gf mx400 ? geforce 2/3/4 ?
gf2 mx400, 64 meg sd ram , tv out. I got one on the 3rd bitch. they run pretty good
radass
06-09-2004, 03:42 PM
ah ok. I already have a gf2 mx440 somewhere i think and it's not supported according to that list, only a full gf2 is
MR_PEA
06-09-2004, 05:16 PM
so you need almost a gf3 equivilant!
radass
06-09-2004, 05:20 PM
no, gf2 or better :P
and mx400 is budget assed gf2 which i presume isnt supported because on the list, the mx versions of gf4 are listed specifically

Dave: It's a Geforce II i think - maybe a 3
radass
07-09-2004, 12:23 PM
thanks ray, but yeah. need one on the list :'(
at the moment i looks like a stinky old 9200se might be the go or the 8500le on offer
but i'll leave this thread open for a while and see is someone comes up with something super ideal for say, $60
She's gotta save up anyway, and i'm too scotch to shout her atm :)
