Unreal and 7900 GTX
Hi
Does anyone else have any problems running the new unreal on a 7900 GTX card? I brought a new card about 3 months ago - its great in all my other games but on unreal I get the odd judder when in the middle of a firefight. When moving around the map normally I get a nice smooth play. I'm thinking that maybe its a problem with the CPU - dual AMD 64 3800 - not the fastest in the world but still good for windows. Any thoughts? I'm stuck between getting a 8800GT in a few months or a new quad core intel 2 - 6600 system and dropping the 7900 GTX into that instead. Thanks Rich |

The original Unreal, or one of the various UTournaments ? There are patches for U1 to make it look and perform great on today's machines. rms |

One assumes when he says the "new Unreal" he's talking about UT 2007. A 7900GTX should be fine for UT2007 at reasonable eye candy levels and moderate resolutions. You're likely going to run into framerate issues if you're running 1600x1200. All these newer games like UT2007 are counting on you having a hi-perf dual core. This makes just as big a difference as the graphics card. |

Got any links for those U1 patches?
http://www.oldunreal.com/oldunrealpatches.html That's the main one, which file you get depends on what version of the game you have (Unreal Gold, etc). Read the documentation file carefully. Also, http://celticwarriors.net/ has the S3TC hi-res textures for download if you don't have UT1 addon cd, and http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/ has another updated UT opengl driver. Various sites have the Unreal 'bonus packs' for download, Singleplayer campaigns (I've played a couple of these, they are really well done, like Xidia Gold (get the post-release patch)) are at http://www.unrealsp.org/community/reviews.html There's alot of stuff out there for Unreal/UT! rms |
