ut3 system?

i have ut3 and i run it at an average of 20fps is this good, what should I be runing this at?

motherboard asus m2a-vm

nvidea 8500gt 512mg

amd x2 5000+ 2.6mhz

3gigs of ram

xp service pack2

get the 9800GX2 I believe it runs UT3 at 256 Frames per second (with plenty of ram and a good processor of course)

Edit: actually sorry 256 is Half Life 2, my bad. UT3 is like 120 something.

Well, do as I do and put world detail at 4 i think, and drop the resolution to 800x600, the game ran much smoother on the same GPU, but you should really look forward another video card, I've been thinking the same because it struggles in most games now.

Well, do as I do and put world detail at 4 i think and textures at max, and drop the resolution to 800x600, the game ran much smoother on the same GPU, but you should really look forward another video card, I've been thinking the same because it struggles in most games now.

EDIT: holy **** we almost have the same username!

I got this at ibuypower for about $660 with xp.

Q1 If I can get a gpu exchange is the 8600 gt 512mb better or the 1gb better and how much will my framerate increase, the 9800 is too expensive, pluss is in it buggy?

Q2 I really do not know motherboards that well but is my ok and is my cpu aswell ok

can someone tell me how much improvement I will get with a 8600 512 card and a 8600 1gb card ?vash429

Almost nothing, seriously, don't let big numbers impress you, it's just about the model and the chip.

is the 8600 gts alot better then the gt or just a little changevash429

it's certainly a boost in fps. but i can't imagine getting less than a 8800gt, 9600gt or HD3850. The rest of your system screams for it.
