FRAME RATE, Low Frame Rate need help Options

[Doyle]

I am experiencing problems that I am hoping someone may know something that could help me.

Here is the problem:

On the average my fps is 20-22fps. When close to someone else or with lots of activity going on it will even drop to single digits.

It is especially frustrating when I come up against someone that is getting decent fps. More times than I care to remember I have come up against someone and have them cold turkey dead to rights. I open on them first but they can turn and even kill me and they don't have a scratch. Now... before someone says improve my marksmanship.. please don't go there.



Here is the equipment that I am running:

Gateway E-3600

Windows XP Pro SP3

Intel P4 1.50 gig processor

8k primary mem cache

256k secondary mem cache

40.02 Gig Hard drive (with 20gigs free)

100 meg Bus Clock

Intel Bios

768 Megs Memory

Dell 24" wide angle monitor 1920x1440 res

RADEON X850Pro 256Meg GDDR3 memory



If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.



Thanks everyone

Doyle, we should get on vent and figure this out... Pain is right on the money, but I am spec'ed out not so different from you except proc, 2ghz but strangely have "relatively decent" fps (well 50 - 70 fps).

And I am on an old 9550 ATI AGP 8x card... I think you could improve this depending on some of your settings. Also are you running in a window or what is your resolution? I find I loose as much as 20% of my fps when I run in a window... Does this change at all depending on settings you choose?

Let me find that performance thread and post it tomorrow! You won't be getting 125 fps but if you can get over 50 that is what I play with... playable, not sure?


Then we jump on vent and see if we can get some of these minds at work to increase your FPS to double digits.

Hey some_help

When you say running in a window; not quite sure of what you mean here but will take a stab at a response. No I am not running in a window, if you mean I have other programs running that I switch to while playing the game.

When I get ready to play I start the vent, the coduo minimizer then the game. I do not have anything else running other than NAV in the background. I have it set so that I am not scanning or updating or downloading.

As for the rest, I look forward to getting with you and seeing what we can do.

It certainly would be better to play at 50 to 60 as opposed to single digit to low 20fps.



Thank you for your response.
