if im right it been a while since i looked. the video card takes no effect on the fps you get from the game. its all on the cpu. i think the video card just does the stretching for the game.

For me KI and UMK3 are the games I used as test beds for any improvements, seeing as how i got a rig that will run them just fine im now working on the video part and trying diff tv's and setups to find the perfect one. i know an arcade monitor would be best but there is those 32in $200 lcd at wally world calling my name for the ps3 and xbox360 so might use one of those.

Interesting.  I might start a new topic about this subject as I don't' want to derail this thread.  Thanks for the help.

I've been looking at the same processor to replace my amd x64. How does MK4 run?

Running at full speed mk4 still has a lot of graphical problems. Looks like garbage as soon as you get into a fight. This is on mame 0.146. Just a heads up.

Andro, not sure yet. I don't have this on my cab. I can add it though and I'll let you know how it performs but I see Brad808 says it looks pretty bad.  I am running mame. 141 so I'm sure it's no better and possibly worse. I will report back though just so you know......

Thanks abcabb I appreciate it. It drives me nuts that my amdx2 64 gets smoked by intels one the same level.
