Hi there!
I have put together the following PC:
Windows 98SE 4.10.2222.A
ASUS P2B (1014 Beta 3 BIOS, 440BX Chipset drivers 2.9)
PII 450MHz
128MB PC-100 SDRAM
Riva TNT2 Pro 16MB (45.23, DirectX8)
160GB HDD with a 30GB primary partition from around 2004
I am getting poor performance in all games. I have put a few examples below (with their minimum requirements shown in brackets), when I play at low settings at 640*480 (Measured in FRAPS, which I appeciate takes up a few FPS):
Driver (200MHz / 32MB RAM / 2MB VRAM) = frequent drops to <10fps, manages 25 on open highway
Test Drive Le Mans /Le Mans 24h (266MHz / 32MB RAM / 8MB VRAM) = 15-25fps
No One Lives Forever (300MHz / 64MB RAM / 8MB VRAM) = 20-35fps
Delta Force 2 (400MHz / 64MB / Riva TNT) = <15fps
3DMark 1999: 3,628
3DMark 2000: 1,604
3DMark 2001: 606
It's a freshly install of Windows 98SE on a recently formatted HDD. Are my frame rates to be expected or has something gone wrong?
