I have been playing a bit of UT recently but I'm really struggling to get it to run well. I just can't get it to run smoothly. I have tried D3D and the latest utglr opengl renderer. The best I have got is with the utglr but it still isn't smooth. It isn't a lack of frames as I can limit it to 60 or 100 and it stays fairly constant, it just doesn't feel nice.

Any advice?

take off vertical sync

You failed to maintain your weapon, Son.
I don't reckon you've got long. Seen that before. Gut wound. The slug's probably torn right through your liver. Mate of mine in Ulster got caught in sniper fire. Bullet blew his inside out. He screamed for a good 10 minutes. We couldn't send a medic in, the section was too hot. So we all took cover... and watched him die. I've never told that... to anyone... you should've called an ambulance... for the girl...

what grafix do you have?
what's the processor? (is it a dual core AMD which might need 2nd core turned off?)

Yes. I have a 8800GT with the latest nvid drivers running on XP with amd dual core. Will give it a go on single core.

only problems seemed to be with the older AMD dual cores.
the Intel's were all ok afaik.

with the nvid drivers - the latest are not necessarily the best to use.
I tend to go for drivers that have the most number of downloads so they might be a month or more old.

Well, it's ok but it just isn't as smooth as it was back in the day. I'm going to try a re-install as I am running the same install that I keep copying from PC to PC.

yeah - same here.
the install of UT has remained the same over the past 7-10 pc's I have made over the years.

one other thing to try - look in the grafix driver profiles and make one for UT.
