Would a new graphics card improve pj64?

Im upgrading my geforce2mx to a geforce2 pro 64mb. Do you think pj64 will benefit from this too? I know it's CPU dependant more than anything...

You won't see any great changes but anti-aliasing and anistrific filtering make all games seem really smooth.I think that some(if any) minor issues will be gone but this upgrade wont affect speed

if u r going for a gf2 pro, go for a gf3 ti 200 instead, as u will be ready for any dx8 games. u will get some increase in pj64, but not as substantial as with a cpu upgrade.

I think that little jump might not do much, On the other hand if you have a 1gig processor, it might help. It depends on where your system is bottlenecked. I upgraded my TNT2 to a GF3 and the sound went from skipping all the time to no skipping at all in Zelda OOT, but I have a 1 gig processor so the video card was the limiting factor on my PC.

Well I myself have a Geforce 2 MX 400 64 MB wit TV Out (My PC is 1 Ghz )which I use at home and use PJ64 on and I also use another PC with a Geforce 2 Pro 64 MB (also 1Ghz) but there really isn't any difference I think the only thing that would cause a major difference is upgrading to a Geforce 3 500 TI that's about 2.5 times as powerfull as a Geforce 2 MX 400

I was just talking about this with Tesla-Guy on IRC. The Ti200 is half the cost and if I run the test on nVidias website, it says that the Ti500 would only give me a 5% performance increase over the Ti200.

[sk8bloke22]

exactly. i think ppl should either go for an MX400 as a cheap option, or a Ti200 as a cheapo-expensive top range sorta option, if ya get me.

Yeah check out this page too: http://guru.3d.com .The GF3 Ti500 isnt worth all these money when you can get almost similar performance with the Ti200 model

i upgraded from GeForce 2 MX (no 400 or 200, just the old model) to GeForce 3. Only difference is that i got 30fps in 32bit mode in f-zero x now i get 50-60fps. Real games though are REALLY boosted.:colgate:

Good for you Tesla-guy but like my dad always says if you have the money folr it you should always get the best there is
and currently that is the Geforce 3 TI 500 even though the TI 200 is alomst equal to it
