Since my 9800xt had a little acident i had to switch back to my old card. TNT2 M64. And this card suprised me. It runs many of the most recent games, PES4, HL2, Flatout. oO Impressive.
And HL2/CS:S runs at steady 15-25 fps. And dont forget i have a crappy CPU.
So this means Kaiser only had to upgrade his CPU and could've kept his TNT2
Same goes for me, I still have a TNT2 as well. I'm still satisfied with it since I can run Snes games and desktop applications and don't play pc games :heh:
I remember my ye olde TNT2 M64..I swear I coulda cooked breakfast using the heat that thing made (it had no fan on it and I was too lazy to go get one) Now my ye olde Ti 4200 is probably gonna bite the dust soon, having BSOD's all the time from overheating. But that just means I can get a 6800 GT.
@ cooliscool: Like Metal said, it's better to play it this way than not being able play it at all. And a game isn't about graphics alone. Too bad about the low FPS
Edit: I'm surprised that the games allow you to play them. I had a demo of BloodRayne and it didn't allow me to play the game because my TNT2 didn't have hardware T&L.
Yeah i dont even play them. Its more the fact the game runs that impressed me. Altough some of them dont run (SW Battlefront, Toca Race Driver 2, PoP).
All i play now is Lemonade Tycoon ^^. Im getting my 9800xt back next week though.
i actually have a TNT M64, that thing is crap...i remember trying to run ePSXe with it and hella struggling...my sister still plays simple games on it like The Sims

I certainly hope mine will last some more years as well, I also have it for 5 years now and I heard that the AGP slots on newer mobo's have changed compared to the ones from 6 years ago. Meaning I would need a new rig when only one piece of hardware fails me :???:
If you want to use a really old driver, try the 7.58 Detonators. I doubt they would work well with any recent game but they will probably be the quickest drivers for that card.
in my experience, Detonator 28.90 and 30.82 were the best. i dont play newer games in this card anyway.
