9800 Pro and Quake 2
Hi
 I'll very likely soon be buying a 9800 Pro but as I still like playing Q2 Lithium onlne I wonder if this old game plays and looks fine using this card. Can anyone with actual experience of this give me the story please? TIA

I still play q2 weekly, and i had a sapphire radeon 9200. This is one of the
new cards like 9800. The 9200 is much slower of course, but the image is about the same as the 9800 i think. The radeon is a bit darker the my good old matrox g400, but it looks good enough. The only thing what bothered me about the image that it's not as stable and as good as from my matrox card. The image of the radeon also seem a bit unrestless. To much for me, because i sold the radeon and dont know if buy another ati card again, because mine had unrestless images in 3d games. The game gets higher fps i think but it doesnt seem to play as pleasant as on my matrox. I hope the 9800 isa better card (in terms of stable images). And use the omega drivers, there much better then the ati drivers. "Horrie Fide" schreef in bericht ...

That sounds like a low refresh rate problem, from what you're saying. Did you look into that at all? wrote: I still play q2 weekly, and i had a sapphire radeon 9200.
