    Post amd and metal of honor

    I have an AMD k6-2 500mhz, 265mb ram, tnt2 pci

    When i play metal of honor allied assult it is verrrry slow and unpayable.

    yet when i try it on my pII 333, 196mb, voodo 2 with an 8 mb intel vga card. But it seems if i put the tnt in to the 333 it will play fine.

    i can play it. it is not fas and sux but is more payable than the amd. is there a patch which will improve play i heard there was an amd patch but am not to sure

    i dont think so, but i would either close this thread and start it in the games forums, or request a mod to move it for you.

    good luck.,

    but my advise, use the p2 333 as i noticed the same thing with Quake 3 and that.

    Nvidia cards do not play well with AMD chipsets. they work over hard and get very hot. Anyhow, I do have a game that I played on my AMD and actually had to go to older drivers. 12.41 drivers. I would give that a shot as well.

    People this is expected performance. The K6-2 chokes, and i mean badly chokes on high polycounts.

    Like everyone one else, i would suggest a complete driver update. If you can, find new drivers for everything that should help alot.

    agreed. K6-2 procs have always had chumpy frame rates in 3d games compared to p2s of equivalent or even slower clock speeds. nothin you can do about it...

    Have to agree. I am a big fan of AMD processors, but the K6/2 series weren't the best for games. They were designed with business applications in mind. It wasn't until the Athlon and it's 3 fully pipelined floating point units that they got the nod for 3D games.
