    err....TNT2....

    I think your GPU is well below the minimum specs....you will probably need to get a new graphics card to play it. Also...is this in linux or windows?

    You are correct. Not only does UT2003 require at least a 64MB video card (the TNT2 is 32MB if I'm not mistaken), the TNT2 is so old the Nvidia 3D acceleration drivers no longer support it.

    ive ran ut2003 on a tnt2 graphics card before

    unfortunatly, it was under windows not Linux.

    Well, regardless of whether or not it can be done, the point is it shouldn't, IMO. The framerates you got couldn't have been anything decent and you would have had to turn the quality of the graphics down to the very bare minimum. That's just not a desireable way to play the game to me.

    IMO, ut2004 works better on that card than ut2003 does.

    oh well, i upgraded my tnt2 to a radeon 9600XT 256mb

    [note above: i should have bought a nvidia card, not an ati]

    yes, a tnt2 with ut2003 should not be tried unless your desperate for ut. I think it almost made me sick after playing ut on a tnt2.

    I wouldn't dream of playing pretty much any 3d game on my TNT 2 16meg...even if it was like 256meg (I know they dont make them), it would still be unplayable. The card is just too damn old.

    everyone knows that you don't run UT2K3 on a tnt 2, i did once and it looked all blocky that was only the demo and on windows.
