It's 2009 and people are still stuck on the FX series?  |

Do you expect Win95 users to have better cards ?  |

I just updated the drivers of a Geforce2, it now runs OA smoothly (only loading is still a pain), haven't tested how good yet but better than the 1-2fps i got before ^^

It's so interesting the point that more than 50% of votes is at least for 128MB, of course, there are many people with more modest hardware.

I bought a new PC last May and it has an ATI HD5850 with 1GB graphics card but before I had two old PCs: one with a Nvidia GF2 with 32 MB RAM and another with an integrated VIA graphics card that took 16 MB of system RAM. Luckily OpenArena runs well on PCs that are little more than pieces of junk though I prefer it on my new one with its new screen running at a 1920x1080 resolution.  |

I think that your new PC barely run Quake2 in software rendering... Seriously, now you can unlock the secret "Legendary CVARS" like cg_angelyssHighpolyBreast, r_shaderModel3.0, r_hyperFancybutuselessFX, r_subdivisions 0.00000000010.  |

It's 2010 and now a gts250 with 1gb memory after various 9 series capacitor failures leaking all over the cards.

FYI: if you get 2fps in openarena, your video card is not working.
The fps should at least be 20 if you have a Voodoo Banshee (which is 1998 technology), and technically, all on-board hardware is superior over that.

In my MacBook Pro, 256MB GeForce GT 330M with CUDA, not that this affects OA all that much. For some reason my FPS runs at 60-70 on some occasions and 250 on others. I have it set at 250 maximum, and I use GL extensions and all that. So glad I switched from the GMA 965 in my old computer...that only ran at 125 FPS if I cut all the graphical stuff down to just about nothing. In my 5-year old gaming rig at home, 128MB ATi Radeon X800SE. Thing's a dinosaur but it just won't die. Runs OA at 300+ FPS with the same graphical enhancements I've only recently gotten on my laptop (which I've only recently gotten anyway). That GPU is going to outlast the machine, no surprises there. I also have a BFG GeForce GTX 260 at home...216 processing cores and 896MB of memory (so I voted for 1GB), of which I have 100% access at any point. The thing needs 38 amps on a 12V rail. It's a beast. Uses 525W of the 750W power supply. Intense. Needless to say, it's still in the box as I've yet to purchase any other components to the custom system for which I bought the GPU. Once I do, I'll be sure to perform a few stress tests and the like. OA is a fairly non-intensive game...for the record, the aforementioned X800 of mine crashes if I try to run a game made later than 2005 (ie Doom 3, Quake 4, Half-Life 2...anything not Civilization or OA). I'm not exactly designing a computer around OA overkill, but hey...why not play around a bit. |

Yeah for the FPS problems something is certainly wrong with this pc. It segfaults with Urban Terror a lot and on windows blue screens randomly with gl/d3d. Also I get shocks from the back plate which defy explanation after checking things out many times.

Try swapping your RAM modules, maybe one of them is fucked up. Do some memory test (Everest or Ubuntu memory test should work). What power supply you have? The backplate shocks can be explained if the PS is a piece of junk. |

Try swapping your RAM modules, maybe one of them is forgeted up. Do some memory test (Everest or Ubuntu memory test should work). What power supply you have? The backplate shocks can be explained if the PS is a piece of junk. memtest86+ done several times and also recently, not a problem. The PS doesn't seem like a piece of junk either although that doesn't mean its not the problem. It could be one or more of several things. A USB hub seems a likely suspect though. The crashes actually seem like they are unrelated. If I switch the graphics card for an older ATI one the crashes stop. The only problem with doing that is they are slow at textures so can only play really old or 2d games with them. |

I'm about to up my pc with a 512 or 640mb 8800gts.
When I play I'm usually using an 8mb Rage M3 in my laptop, a 64mb Radeon 9600pro agp in my G5 tower, or an awful 128mb radeon x1300/x1550pcie in my pc which is completely smoked in opengl by the 9600pro.

I bought myself a nvidia GTS 250 as a welcoming back present (I was in hospital twice with multiple leg fractures with complications after a car accident). That graphics card rocks and is more than sufficient to play OpenArena on, when I play com_maxfps 125 at 1280x1024 it stays in energy-conserving mode and I have to crank the game up to com_maxfps 333 to get the card's powermizer to go into hi-performance mode. Experimenting with com_maxfps 333 for a bit I'm starting to agree more and more with the decision to elevate pmove_float 1 to standard, because 333 fps with client-side physics is just too powerful, jumps become ridiculously high. It becomes way too easy to reach the MH in oa_rpg3dm2 for instance. |

Thanks! My leg got infected because there were tiny bone fragments sticking in my muscles so I had to get back to hospital in a hurry, and it took a while to get the fragments out and the infections under control. Things are going very well right now, I'm in a lot less pain then two months ago, my limp is almost gone and I'm working for four hours a day again. As you can see I'm even in a playful mood again sometimes |
