VF5 Export - over DVI, very slow

[mathewbeall]

Hi Folks,

I have a Lindburg Yellow multi - I just got it, and have been playing virtua fighter 5 export in VGA mode - and it's been working great.

I just got a dvi->hdmi converter and played it in "HD" which equates to 1366x768@60hz. I am noticing some odd things in this mode, a little bit of tearing, but more importantly - the game is SUPER slow, at least half speed.

Has anyone seen this, and know what I can to resolve?

Thanks,

Matt

What video card do you have in it?

Model P201 - so looks to be a 6800GT?

There's your reason. 6800's have slowdown compared to 7800GS (esp in higher resolutions)

ok - can I get any 7800GS to replace it, or do I need a special BIOS, etc?

There's a lot of Lindbergh 7800GS's on ebay from Chinese sellers. It's easier/cheaper than finding one locally.

In my experience, the card bios doesn't matter but that may depend on your motherboard bios or what multi you're running. I'm pretty sure I was able to boot mine with a BFG 7800GT and BFG 4600GT.
