Radeon Sapphire 1600 pro and UT 99

[smodge]

I know its an unusual request but ive tried the sapphire forums with no luck
Can anyone advise me how best to set up the :-Sapphire ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512MB DDR2 AVIVO TV-Out/DVI (AGP) to run unreal tournament 99 . I have installed it in my new pc. details below! i am trying to run the game in
1264x960 high detail 32 bit colour using the opengl rendererer utglr32 . the problem i have is it all seems too fast and jerky . I know it should be possible to get it running smooth but im just guessing what the settings should be. Yes i know ut99 is an old game but its still the best and still the one i play more than any other.

Ive set the AGP aperture size to 64Mb, disabled fast writes and set the card at x4 instead of x8.

Any help would be appreciated .

Install this or another version :
http://www.guru3d.com/article/atitraytools/189/

Once you've installed that change the following Opengl/3D settings in ATI Tray Tools :
- Vsync always on.
- Triple buffering off (turn it back on afterwards if it seems to cause no problems).
- Texture and Mipmapping to Quality at least. This is to push the CPU/GPU slightly.

Next, in your UnrealTournament.ini, copy paste this over your OpenGL settings. The values in bold are the important ones :

[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
TruFormMinVertices=0
TruFormTessellation=3
UseTruForm=False
AAFilterHint=0
NumAASamples=0
UseAA=True

FrameRateLimit=180 ;Set between 120 and 180. This is to cap framerate.
;FrameRateLimit=0

Lastly, to get smooth gameplay online, enter a server, type "timedemo 1" in the console and reduce the netspeed so it roughly matches the refresh rate. You can do this by using the "netspeed nnnn" command (try 9000 to begin with).

P.S: Since you have a dual core processor, you should find out how to set UT's affinity to one core or get hold of the patched version of UnrealTournament.exe.

Thank you I will try all that . BTW is there a patched unreal.exe if so where can I get it? I did try another thing that seemed to go someway to controlling the speed by adding a swith to the target file in my shortcut ie-"C:\UnrealTournament\System\UnrealTournament.e xe -CPUSPEED=2210" My processor is a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.20GHz. if i set it slightly higher ie:- 2400 it seems to be okay ! is there any downside to this ?
Thank again youve been most helpfull.
