ATI rage Card

(1/3) > >>

Dillsta:
At the moment i have a p3 800mhz, 256mb sdram and onboard graphics and sound. Most of my mame games run ok but the 1v1 fighters are really bad and slow. I was wondering if i got a ATI Rage 128 Pro 32mb, would it speed it up to a reasonable level?

Thanks Dylan

gonzo90017:
What fighters are you talking about?

MrMojoZ:
I'd say CPU is holding you back more than anything unless your emulator just isn't compatible with your onboard video.

ChadTower:

That's not a huge graphics card upgrade, most likely.  Your CPU and RAM are the limiting factors here.

Dillsta:
I'm trying to play games like street fighter. but the games that run slow don't work when i have directx turned on in the mame config. I just get an arror that says

Error creating dirextX7 device: 887602eb
Video emulation was not started.

Thats why i think a graphics card might help!

but when directX is turned on  i get a framerate of 5-10fps. which is shocking. :banghead:

Does this help at all?
