Hardware experiments are over!

So as I have written in other posts I have tried to find out why I have have low ping lag.  Whats that?  That's where I shoot my weapon or try to dodge in low ping servers and there is a delay,even with less than 50 ping.  I have upgraded my CPU,GPU, memory, internet, modem,mouse and keyboard.  Well I finally broke down and bought a quad core pc. Pretty loaded.  Anyway, installed my GPU, installed UT and gave it a go.  Well guess what?  It's no different!  So I took it back and bought a 24" ASUS HD monitor with 2ms response and I set the game to full HD.  Man what a difference.  I usually play in 1024x768.  Now it's 1920 x 1080.  The game is definitely less laggy.  I still suck, but boy does it look nice.  And I can live with that!  So the moral to my story...hmmmm...It's better to look good then play good???!!  LoL....CYA.

Hey, welcome to the club! I also have an ASUS, 22", with 2ms response time. And I play UT in 1920 x 1080, and yes, it is beautiful! Maybe that's why I can relax so much, it just looks awesome.

Best hardware upgrade you ever did.

You're right about the monitor.  I should have bought  it a long time ago.  I was pretty disappointed that a new PC didn't solve the trick.  In the last year I have been researching and trying new cpu's, gpu's, UT configs, renderers, etc. Too be honest, I feel like a big weight has been removed from my shoulders.  I tried my best to make this game run better and I honestly couldn't fix it.   I can live with that.

I have an HP "All-In-One" 4 Gigs Ram + 1TB HD with 1080 HiDef (wide screen HD) screen also but 20" I think...
It is amazing how the good Old UT99 fills in an HD screen as if it is made for it eh?
Looks and plays amazingly well. like it was made for it. Cheesy

But, even my Old 1999-2000 HP with 128MB ram and 15GB HD Pentium III still runs UT99 very well.
