high color 16 bit

[sofraven]

hi , I dont know what to set this at, maybe someone can help, here is my set up
p3 850 mhz
geforce 2 32 meg
512 sd ram
dls
win 98se

my options are: under settings and then colors:

16colors
256 colors
high colors (16 bit)
true color (32 bit)

with my video card being 32 meg does this mean anything? i like gaming so i was also told that if i set it lower i will have better performance . is this true?

 

[sofraven]

sorry im currently set at high colors (16 bit)

possibly, but your video card isnt that bad, id probably set it at 16 bit, just to get those extra FPS's out of your games.

Usually a GeForce2 experiences a large performance hit when 32-bit color is used in games; it's obviously true that turning to 16-bit color will enhance performance; but if you're not very paranoid about maintaining, say, 60fps at a higher resolution, then I'd suggest using higher quality 32-bit color.

If that GeForce2 card is an MX, I would strongly suggest playing at 16-bit color for most games (doesn't include older games).
