I am stuck with a geforce fx 5200 right now. First off I am not a fan of Nvidia at all. To make matters worse it only has a 64 bit memory architecture. Let's ignore the obvious tips of burning, trashing, and buying a new card for right now. I let you rest assured, all three will be happenening when I have the money.

I need tips on speeding this thing up. I already overclocked it by 50 mhz. Can't go much further. I have the newest drivers from omega for this things. I have all performace settings turned up and quality settings turned down. What I would like to be able to do is play unreal tournament 2k4 at a descent frame rate with descent image quality. Give me any tips you can think of to help make this possible for right now.

For advance my current system specs are as follows:
2x 256 meg spectek pc2700 ram
1x30 gig pc133 pata drive
1x 20 gig pc133 pata drove
athlon OCed to 2.1 ghz.
bloody monster geforce fx 5200 cooled with volcano 11
biostar m7mia motherboard

That should be any performance related info you need.

Which version of Omega's do you have??? If I'm not mistaken, the 45.23's were the last version of Omega's that were made for nVidia cards... the latest Detiniators would probably perform better.

Also, you forgot to add another not-so-obvious tip... put it in the blender. ;)

-=[edit]=-

My bad... the latest are v 53.03. Those are pretty good... I think the Det >55 will offer up good IQ and performance... you might want to try a comparison.
