Hi, I am running a Windows 98 machine with 384 MB Ram, Pentium 4 @ 1.7 Ghz, Nvidia TNT2 64, and when I play a build engine game I get really low fps. Duke 3D runs at 50-140 FPS and Blood runs at 35-120, is there any fix for this?
What resolution are you playing these at?
640x480
With a willamette, that sounds normal FPS to me.

willamette? Sorry, new to old hardware.
EDIT, nevermind, found out it was code name for the pentium 4, why is the FPS so low with the CPU?
I'm not sure 140 FPS can ever be qualified as "low."
Even 35 is 5 better than you'll get out of an N64.

I mean, the game dropping to 35 FPS from 90 isn't very smooth.
The drops come from lookup tables being shoved close in your face, that's normal for a dip in a software renderer, even on today's CPUs. CPUs never had decent fillrates

Alrights, thanks for the explanation.
