I think your settings are too high, some games maybe be more complex then others. Try using Pete's D3D instead! You'll fps will go up for sure!

[Metalmurphy]

Also, i might be wrong on this one! But doesn't the GForce 2 GTS goes only to 32 MB??

- VRam size: 64 MBytes

[Raiden01]

nope mines geforce 2 ultra 64mb i can asure you of that

[Metalmurphy]

I believe you! :) I said I wasn't sure! It's just that I had a GForce 2 GTS and it was 32MB. Anyway? Did you got it to work?

[Raiden01]

umm it say i have a geofrce 2 ultra on d3d and a gts on opengl
but i know i have geforce 2 ultra 64mb and open gl runs faster

[Metalmurphy]

Are the framerates too slow?

[fivefeet8]

Lower your Framebuffer Access setting.. 4 enables Full Vram Primitives..

[Raiden01]

well yes about 27fps when i start up the game but on d3d it even slower and why dose it say a diferent video card

[Metalmurphy]

Try to update you're video card drivers! It is weird it appears diferent Card names!

[Kellicros]

Well, does this happens only on FF8? or you have that low fps problem only on FF8? BTW, since you never mention, are you playing the game with a cd-ro? try playing it off an iso, huge performance increase.(I think)

Moved.

If the framerate is slow, use lower screens. Try 640x480.
Or lower the color depth to 16bit.
Turning VSync off or Frameskipping on should help a lot on framerates too.

[astroduck]

try disable 2xsai Hi-res texture and it should help the framerate as well.

[Raiden01]

playing off the cd and it the only one where i get slow frame rates u know when you go into the battle and so and so also my geforce 2 should be able to take it

You should try lowering your resolution if you get slow dows of 27fps.
