slow preformance with Geforce II mx400

Welcome to Beyond Unreal Forums, TGM

What do you mean with slow performance?
Are you talking about low FPS or does the game runs choppy?

Are you talking about online- or offline gaming or both?

Do this:
Goto tools and check the timedemo box

Then run the intro begin to end, and note down your average FPS. You can also do this in different maps.

This will tell you if it's a FPS problem

This sounds very similar to this problem

i had the same problem with my mx400. it was some bad crap in a mod i d/led. even after an uninstall of the game it ran crappy. there is still some ut stuff left over from an uninstall .. after an uninstall of ut goto FIND in windows and search for unreal tournament. then in the window that all the ut stuff comes up in just right clik and delete it all..then reinstall.
that worked for me.......good luck

30 FPS is a bad but playable

1.) Don't run mods to benchmark UT
2.) Don't look at current, but average FPS
3.) Benchmark the intro

Fact is mods often run worse than the game itself. So you can't use them to make a descreptive benchmark.

If you timedemo the intro flyby, which is equal for everyone who has the game, you get a result which you can compare to other people. It's the best way to say if UT runs normal.
However if said choppiness only comes after a few minutes that won' work
