dx9

[violent1]

for a card that certaintly does not support dx9, if i were to upgrade to this, should i expect to see any sort of FPS boost in TFC?

my current system:
dell inspiron 4000 [a notebook]
700mhz p3 mobility
320 meg of SDRAM
20 gig hd [mostly full, lol]
onboard sound
onboard video: ati rage mobility 8 meg

i currently get 30 - 60 fps [locked max at 60]. i drop below 30 sometimes in fire fights, though i recently updated my bios which increased my fps, so it's not as bad a drop as before.

i am just curious if dx9 will offer a performance boost, or not?

edit: and why does my sig say Maizy likes men?

I dont think it would do too much to an onboard video card. What version are u currently running? DX8.1? What OS? and try defragging ur hd to see some performance increase.

i run 8.1. i defrag frequently. i am on winME =[

blek, blek

i just want to know if i will see any performance increase at all, without taking a hit on the resources that would negate that increase.

winme that word is not welcome here o_O

It's very doubtful that you would see any performance boost at all, not only is that card generations before DX9's time, but TFC isn't a DX9 game by any means, especially if you're running in OpenGL.
