I think the faq states that pj64 requires a minimum of a GeForce 1 or early Radeon. I believe that the TNT2 doesn't quite match up to those. My GeForce 1 ("GeForce 256") works quite nicely with most games. These are really cheap cards. Get a GeForce 3 and you'll really be rockin. That's the best card at this point price/performance wise.
Some people with below-spec cards are happier using the Glide wrapper with evoodoo (see faq).

Afaik, the problem does not lie within the gfx card. Its mere function in the whole is the gfx on the screen; not the speed.

It isn't your TNT2. I had an ati Xpert 98 agp2x and I've bought a GeForce2. Almost all games are running a lot faster, only n64 games not. Excactly the same speed. The difference is the RAM and the CPU speed.

Btw, you never told how much ram you have. That's important.

HELL YES. IT'S ME!
wow! this is my first post in like 4 months!. anyway.
Cpu,Graphics card, ram
thats the order of importance when it comes to pj64
1)as long as you have at least 256mb ram, thats enough (more=better of course)
2)cpu speed is very important, more so than the grpahics card.
for instance, i have found that on games like Perfect Dark. I get at the most 5-10fps performance hit MAX when going from no AA to 4x aa! and thats with a gf4 440mx.
that leads me to believe that the cpu is the most important part of the system, which is where your problem lies. (hell i cant get pd to run smoothly with my xp1800)
upgrading the cpu is really the only way to make a significant difference

I have a TNT2 and it works fine (only it leaves a little to be desired when a lot is goin on on the screen). I plan to get a hauling arse AMD Athlon soon tho, with a GF4 =)

Sorry dude, that's wrong.james.miller said:
It's cpu, ram, gfx.

Yes, but try running pj64 on an integrated card, compare the speed with a geforce on the same cpu, amount of ram, everything. BIG difference.

nah cpu, graphics card, ram is right imho.
once you have 256mb it becomes less important.

It doesn't matter.
Run pj on Athlon 1800+ with 64 or 128 mb and a geforce4 ti4600, and compare it to Athlon 1800+ with 512 mb ram and geforce2 mx. Which is faster, hm?
The second of course...but as said, intregrated video is crap and won't run well, so that's the only exception to this.
