Just used google hehe. You are absolutely fU[king right. I gained 10fps. Nice!! But when they give us the option to run 64bit color then we will want it to run good and will be right back where we started.

Is it supposed to be only 29.3mb? That seems kinda small. I thought I remember previous direct X downloads being bigger than that.

Just curious: Everyone uses Balmora as a benchmark, yet I really have no problems there. For the most part, it's pretty smooth everywhere in town. No, it's not Quake3, but it's acceptable. Where I DO get a lot of slow-downs is in Ebonhart, especially in the plaza by the docks.

Almost any of the Dwenmer ruins are bad for me too. I get what I assume is the "stuttering" you all talk about. The scenery "jumps" as I walk along, although there is normal movement between the jumps. Sometimes the sound stutters too. I hope that makes sense. Seems like a separate problem from frame rate though.


By the way, for what it's worth:
Athlon 1.4
512 DDR
GeForce3 64MB

Shadows = off
Everything else = max

Ebonheart is the laggiest place on the continent.

I noticed any place with Imperial Architecture devours performance.

And the ruins, canals and certain tombs lag because of all the ambient sounds playing.

Are you sure its worth the headache? Is it better to just beta test the new graphics card drivers and wait till mid August?

Ok, this is Morrowind forum so I kind of understand that everyone is saying that they get "so and so much more frames per sec in MW with DX9 beta". But HOW about other games? Have you had problems with other games or no problems at all using DX9? I play MW a lot but I also play other games so it is quite an importan question.

Especially when I've read about the rumours that the DX9 can not be uninstalled easily.

So how is it?

DX9 cannot be uninstalled at all (officially) . I don't know much about runtiems and if it is possible for them to be 'permanent' but I think there would be an unofficial uninstaller hanging around somewhere soon...

Theres a prog that uninstalls DX9 (or any DX), theres a prog that removes compatibility problems with DX, theres a prog that removes the august 20th deadline. So if you want it, go get it.

Hmm. Well i finally just went out and bought a geforce4 ti4600. No more problems and i dont need to worry about getting directx9 beta but it did help out with morrowind on my geforce3. I must have lost my mind to pay that much for a video card but so far it was worth it. Incase you were wondering haha.. 1.4ghz athlonxp . 512mbddr . geforce4ti4600. Fans on everything. Besides morrowind will run good on anything it just depends on the quality of graphics you want. Geforce 3 just wasnt doing it for me. Now i run 1000x768 4xaa(s) full distance and ai. That is without touching the ini file at all and no safe disc patch.

DirectX9 made no difference on this machine:

Athlon 1450
Abit KT7A-Raid
256MB 133SDRAM at 2,2
OEM RADEON 8500 with mem @ 260 (drivers 9031)

Better luck, all
