well I would say the 6071s but some people seem to think the 6043s are the fastest.

OpenGL performanes much better for UT in every card I know except for Kyro based cards. If you haven't got it, then download the latest OpenGL renderer from http://unreal.epicgames.com |

In UT with openGL, after a minute or two my fps drops down about 20%, and it gets lower and lower until I type "flush" into the console. This doesn't happen with d3d, so I'm forced to use d3d. Oh, and I get higher FPS in d3d.

Odd, my D3D fps are about this - min: 35fps, avg 60fps, max 80fps
Whereas my OpenGL are about this - min: 60fps, avg 140fps, max 220fps How much memory do you have, and what size AGP aperture? |

I have 256 megs of ram and an Aperture size of 256. I can't adjust the size, I have an OEM bios so it's stuck. So I turn off AGP, and I get a performance boost. Could that be why it slows down after a bit in openGL? It doesn't happen in Quake 3 or half-life, and it doesn't happen in D3D.

Hrm- I get bad D3D performance when I look at transparent things now, I've noticed. It's annoying that it looks like I can't play UT at all, with OpenGL slowing down every 20 seconds and D3D with bad framrates.

Well, it's a laptop, and all I know is that It uses a phoenix bios and the model number is 724h.

Thanks for the help, I think I've solved my OpenGL problems- so I'll be using that. I tried using a different set of lines in the OpenGLdriver render lines.
