    A question about performances...

    hi

    im about to change my video card (ati9500pro) for a better 9800pro and im wondering how much chankast will get benefit from it.
    i know chankast seems more cpu than vidcard dependant, but id like to know if and how much im gonna have better performances since ive got strangely lower performances than certain configuration ive seen around here.

    ive got an athl3000 with pc3200 banks and i can get only 40-45 fps in soul calibur.

    id like to know if someone can post their performance changings from a vidcard to another.



    tnx in advance

    You probably won't get any better framerate as you already have a fairly good graphics card. If you want to improve your framerate, get a faster cpu or overclock the one you have. Chankast makes heavy use of the cpu, so faster is better

    You can also try overclock/underclock the dreamcast sh4. Some people get a bit more performance by doing this. Read the manual for instructions on how to do it.

    Either that or wait for the next version of Chankast, because future versions of Chankast will be most likely optimized for greater speed improvements.

    Really interesting... Maybe you should try to "pay" with video driver options...
    And try to update all nForce chipset drivers by installing nForce drv pack...
