UT on old PCs

For a old PC and hight frames you can take


*This UT full optimised http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7 it was under opengl but you can select d3d (all 2 optimised )
Take:
opengl for a beast processor
d3d for a beast graphic card... d3d9 for a more recent
A LauncherUT99HighPriority come from to. (UT is launched hight priority )


*Or only files settings for http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/utfiles/UT_Demo/WarConfig.rar
There is 3 level StartConfig MediumConfig WarConfig ...take WarConfig.

UT runs fine even on very recent hardware. Only prerequisite is that you update to newer video renderer (preferably OpenGL) and limit your framerate, then you should be all set.
Some time ago I had opportunity to test UT on eight core Xeon with 16GB of RAM and Radeon 7850 GPU, it went without any hitches.

I started on a 450MHz AMD with a 16MB Banshee GFX card (1999)
Can't remember how much RAM (it was the company server). Would have been 128-256MB RAM.
Multi-boot Win98/NT4 using "System Commander"

Was more than I needed at the time.

Now my main UT99 box, is an Athlon 2500, 1GB RAM, ATI Radion 3600HD - 512MB
Dual boot 98/XP with bits of 95/ME/Win7 grafted into both.
More than enough for a current UT99.

I believe your ATI Rage 128 Pro is a DX6 card, so you probably won't get any performance from the newer renderers, though the D3D8 and 9 renderers will work.

I first played Unreal on this system. It had an ISA slot, that's how old it was:

*Windows 9x, I think we had 98 at the time
*AMD K6-2 333mhz
*64mb PC-100 RAM
*First GPU: S3 Virge DX/GX 4mb (software rendering)
*Second GPU: 3DFX Voodoo2 12mb
*8gb HDD

I first played UT on this system:

*Windows 98 SE
*AMD Athlon 700mhz
*128mb PC-133 or DDR, can't remember if DDR was out then
*Diamond Viper V770 32mb AGP (this was a re-branded TNT2)
*Soundblaster Live! X-Gamer (as in, the very first one!)
*I can't remember the HDD, I think it was a 20-gig

Over the years I've moved up and up and up. Now I play everything on this system:

*Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
*Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3 mainboard
*Core i3-530
*4gb G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3-1600 (2x2, dualchannel)
*XFX HD5850 1gb
*1tb WD Black

P-II 233, Voodoo2 12mb, ahh

If people could only read threads and understand what "old pc" meant before plugging in their stupid warez.
