Hey all, I am new to the forums... I recently bought a nvidia 8400gs 512 pci, and I have a dell 1.6ghz with 768mb of ram, i am trying to run a game "unreal tournament" from 1999 and I am still getting lags on maps... any id eas?

\thanks
 
it's probably your CPU, most games recommend 2.4GHz or higher. Your ram could be the bottle-neck to, i would atleast get 1gig.Whats your OS?
 
I am running Windows XP, but the thing is the game is from 1999 so I think the requirements are significantly less, don't laugh people still play it lol... but my thought was the processer being 1.6ghz can't handle my gfx card but I dk :(
 
i still play wolfenstein 3d(1992) and Doom(1993),lol. i still think its your CPU. it only takes like 100-200mb to run xp, so you should be good on your ram.

edit- you playing online?..if so it could be your connection/speed.

online, ping is pretty decent, with my new card its around 50fps and with the integrated card is also around the same... I think my prcoesser is to slow for my card./.// any other ideas?
 
When you installed the 8400gs in your pc, did you install the drivers from the cd orfrom the net? also is it game lag or mouse and keyboard lag?
 
downloading now, btw thanks for the help... i think the driver is 32bit, but i am not sure if i have 32bit window... might be the problem also
 
yes it is windows xp... i downloaded the drivers and still have the same problem... do u think the gfx card is to fast for my processor?
 
btw which model dell did u purchase what kind of processor is it? if its the atom 1.6 gighertz... idon't think you can play anything but solitare on it
