[Chitenga]

I rarely make topics in this forum but im desprete.

I got my video card so i could play battlefield1942,it plays with Ok framerate.So i asked someone how could i improve the framerate.he told me to update the video card (with the Update Hardware Wizard on my computer) i did that,downloaded and installed a few stuff and now my framerate dropped dramaticly.

Now the Question is this..How can i fix it?

Its a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400

I hope you can help me out.

1) That card is not very good.
2) Goto www.nvidia.com to download the right drivers.
3) Exactly what is your fps at now?

 

[Chitenga]

It used to be at 20-30 Fps now its 10-20.

And some games wont even run anymore.

All my Quake III based games wont run anymore.

My video card worked correctly on any game i played.

{EDIT}

I downloaded the right drivers and im back to my good ol' 30 FPS.
and quake games work now.

but i still wish to improve my FPS any suggestions whould be apreciated (spelling?)

System Specs:

CPU: 1.4 Plentium III
Ram: 256 MB
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 2 MX/MX 400

I only have enought money to improve the Ram or the Vidcard....

Thanks for the help hsu,you really fixed my PC

HSU is right. go to www.nvidia.com to download the correct drivers. Those ones from Microsoft are crap.

Another stick of 256MB ram will probably do more good than harm. From the looks of it, you'll be running PC133 wich isn't too expensive, the Video will be at least $200.

Sounds to me like you can buy a whole lotta ram, or one video card

it isnt that hard to get the correct driver because there is only one of the video ones
