The reason for 16 bit is kind of strange.
When I try 32bit, my screen flickers. And I tont mean slight flickering either.
It feels like my monitor is set at 20 mhz rather then 85.
I've messed with it for a while and came to the conclusion that 16 is the only way to play for me.
If you have suggestions, feel free to share but I'm quite happy with the performance. Even 16 bit doesn't look THAT bad.
BTW nice screens :p
I hope in a month or two, I'll post similar ones. (once I upgrade)
I'm back...AGAIN!

Try setting v_hwgamma 0.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Well I got it resolved last night.
It was a combination of the in-game refresh rate and v_hwgamma.
It's looks slightly better but I lose up to 10 FPS, depending on the map and location.
I'll keep it on 32 and see if it's still as playable as it was with 16.
TY guys

Hey PHREAK, wb.. again 
HOF:
<Diablo> the nex is a "game modification"
<Diablo> quake1 never had a weapon like that.
<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along
<Samua>]Idea: Fix it?
<Samua>Lies, that only applies to other people.

Yes.
Not sure how it got messed up but it's all good now.
All I had to do was delete the autogen and let the game write a new one after which I set all my settings to.
Now it's sticking and looks good at 32bit
I also had to set picmip to 3 in order to get a decent FPS. It's still looks okay, even at 3.
(as you can see from the screens)

It has a max of 96MB.
It uses 6MB for the OS so 90 is left for Nexuiz.
This is extremely low for any game, hence why I was convinced that Nexuiz wouldn't even load.
Quick question.
I found a few extremely inexpensive PCI cards on amazon.com and was wondering which you would go for, if you had to.
Choices are the following:
FX5200 128mb
FX5500 128mb
MX4000 128mb
I know a bit about the FX range but nothing about the MX4000.
I looked for reviews but couldn't find anything with some detailed information on technology, etc.
Thanks
