I swear my average fps on 640x480 with dynamic lightening and decals off, does not differ from the fps when I play on 1024x786 with those settings on. It is still 25-30 on average. For a good gameplay I need at least 40 fps. I cannot understand what is going on.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Can someone explain to me this nonsense.
My system:
amd-k6-2-355mhz-3dnow
128mb RAM
Voodoo3 2000 pci
T1 connection
I encounter this problem probably in any fps game I play (except for q3). First of all I have to mention that I previously had vedio chip built in my motherboard, but now that I have voodoo3 bios autodetected the card, and that is the one I use. The probelm is POOR PERFORMANCE, 25 fps on average. The intersting thing though, is that this average fos does not change no matter if I am at 640x480 or 1024x786 resolution. And it even does not change if I turn off the dynamic lightening and decals. That makes me thing that something prevents my card from working as fast as it can. Another thing I noticed, my fps drops down dramatically when I have a lot of players on the screen. I have the latest drivers from 3dfx.
If anyone can tell me what is going on, I would be very greatful. Or if there are any other people with the same sytem as I have, please write what kind of settings and performance do you all get?
And finally, how do you access advanced option in UT. I tried everything and still cannot find it.
Appriciate the help.

Having problems with my v3 3K as well pard.
I finally uninstalled UT and put it back and seems to be working better for me..SO FAR!
As for the advanced features, here's how to go about it bro :
1) Once in the main page of UT, hit the "tab" key and it brings up a window. Type in "preferences"(without the quotes) and that should get it for ya.
GL!
Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.

Only a couple things I can even think of:
355Mhz? What bus speed and multiplier are you using? I can't find a legit combination.
If you can get 25fps on a K6-2 at 1024x768 you're doing pretty well.
Make SURE you are using GLIDE in UT.
I honestly don't know how you're not seeing a difference between 640x480 and 1024x768. I know I go from 50fps at 1024x768 to 70fps at 800x600. I can't imagine 640x480.
You could try and run DXDiag - it might help. (Start -> Run -> DXDIAG).
You can use the forum search to find out other people's specs:
There's a lot of posts with specs and fps but I'll give you the short of mine:
Pentium III-650E
V3 3000 AGP
1024x768 - High Details
50fps AVG
Celeron 400
V3 3000 AGP
1024x768 - High Details
30fps AVG

I see (almost) no difference either with my new Cel500 and V770 Ultra on 800x600 16 bit vs. 1024x768 32 bit it is like 35 fps/34 fps or sumfin. But maybe that is because it is Direct3D.
Just waiting for 406 (overall D3D performance boost) which will arrive sometime soon.
