Default TNT2 upgraded to Geforce3

Dell P-III, 866mhz
Windows ME
128 meg ****M
Sound Blaster LIVE!
RIVA TNT2 M64 video card running @ 800x600 16bit color

Ran Realflight Classic fairly well. But when I upgraded to G2, I have to turn off everything just to get a decent frame rate.....especially when hovering up close.


NOTE:
Today a friend let me borrow his spare Geforce3 card.
WOW!!!!!!! What a difference in the frame rate and smoothness of G2!!!

Now I can run with EVERYTHING turned on at 1200x768 32bit color. And the frame rate is still a LOT faster than the TNT2 at 800x600 16 bit color with everything disabled.

The Geforce3 card also vastly improved my Falcon 4.0 and MS Combat Flight Simulator 2.

I can't get over the difference!
I'm definitely either going to buy this Geforce3 card from him, or go buy one of my own.
