not feelin' it "omega"

dragoon101 · Aug 25, 2004, 01:18 AM

hey guys new to the boards here. i have a geforce 2 mx 400 agp 64 meg card running on win98se. i play a game called aces high 2. i decided to install the omega drivers 14523 with the preformance setting and i see absolutly no change in framerates or anything. i just downloaded the newest drivers for the card and i am currently testing them. so far i have better results with rivatuner overclocking then the omega drivers. can anyone tell me why this is? or what i can do to get the most out of my card? i need to boost my framerates and i am open to any suggestions

thanks in advance

omegadrivers are really to boost IQ...so of course the fps increase you see from OC the card will be greater than any fps boost from drivers...your best option is to use them both in conjunction.

first off, dear god! thats an old and out of date card... sorry had to say it.

asumeing your systems that old i don't know much that will help you
of couse o/cing will help the most but what are your system spec's anyways
there can be bottle necks etc that affect your scores...

genrally more cpu speed and more memory useally helps...

Well i recomend you get about 512 megs of ram. Dump the mx.
For $57.00 you can get a RADEON 9200 from newegg. Gonna be a rocketship compared to your card.
