I just got my new tbird 1.2GHz w/KT7A-Raid. My video is TNT2 Ultra 32MB. I have latest det drivers and dirext8. I went and started up latest version of Unreal Tournament to test my new FPS. Well, it averages around 30 at 1024x768 and high detail and 16 bit color. When I switch to 32 bit color everything gets messed up. Why? Also, why so slow? My Pentium III with voodoo2 runs the game at same detail at 45 FPS. Hmmmmmmmmmm.......... why is my game so slow? Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

First of all, the Detonator 3 drivers cause the TNT cards to run more slowly than the TNT drivers. Second, DX8 is not directly supported by most Det 3 drivers, and offers no performance advantages. Det 2 and DX 7a would probably provide better results.

Did you do the 4 in 1 Via drivers and setup the AGP in bios right? Thats most likely the problem.
