DarKSouL_BC 10-04-2003, 07:50 PM When hosting my own server on SH, lookin straight ahead from the top of the base I get about 90'ish fps..looking straight up I get 200+
When I join a server I get about 30-50'ish fps on average, what I wanna know is how come my fps is so low? I currently have the Catalyst 3.6 drivers installed should that be good? Vsync is off.
My spec's are
Tbird 1.3ghz
512 Ram
my processor isnt good, but shouldnt I atleast be getting a more stable fps? or is it my processor.
neehl 10-05-2003, 06:47 PM with a 1.3 you should be doing better than 30-50 fps.
DarKSouL_BC 10-05-2003, 10:20 PM thats what I don't get..
This is all on a fresh reformat, Catalyst 3.7 Drivers now..Direct X 9 .. Vsync is off none of the other stuff is on.
Any help would be appreciated..msg me in irc if u can help irc nick is darksoul
drake 10-05-2003, 10:58 PM more info please :
what res do you play in ?
you should also download the omega 3.7 drivers :)
drake 10-05-2003, 11:24 PM tribes 1 is really built for glide outside. Inside its another story you get really good fps.
brettfavre 10-06-2003, 03:25 AM yo josh, i will trade you my gf3 ti500
so you get better fps.
DarKSouL_BC 10-06-2003, 06:31 AM no thx wayne ;]
I play in 1024x768 rez
iNVAR 10-06-2003, 09:37 AM 32bit color?
hrm.... well, the fact that you CAN get a higher FPS in single player mode seems to suggest that your video card is functioning properly, and that the bottleneck lies either in your network card taking up processing power for some reason (very possible) or your CPU is just the bottleneck.
DarKSouL_BC 10-06-2003, 03:55 PM ive tried both 16bit and 32bit..no diffrence.
Invar, how would I find out if my network card is using cpu power? or the other problem u suggested.
Im gonna try installing those other drivers too and trying it on a diffrent game.
iNVAR 10-06-2003, 04:02 PM well, honestly, at 1024x768 in 16bit color with that card, you should be kicking ass. i had a geforce2 gts 32mb and i was able to run tribes in 1024x768 @ 16bpp and get 220 staring at the corner on single player training CTF, and on average 70-100 in game depending on number of players and amount of explosions, etc.
so that's definitely not normal.
what type of network card do you have?
also, your bios settings might not be optimized. what motherboard/chipset is that?
DarKSouL_BC 10-06-2003, 04:07 PM Gigabyte GA-7ZXR Series
Macronix MX98715-Based Ethernet Adapter (Generic)
DarKSouL_BC 10-06-2003, 04:07 PM I don't know much about bios, so that could be very well be it..ive gone into it a couple times but never really fucked around w/ it
DarKSouL_BC 10-06-2003, 04:10 PM oh and VIA KT133A Chipset
iNVAR 10-06-2003, 04:19 PM also, what sound card?
googling for your NIC reveals that it's based on the tulip chipset, which should be fine as far as CPU utilization goes.
DarKSouL_BC 10-06-2003, 04:29 PM soundcard is built into the motherboard..its just a soundblaster I think..not sure.
drake 10-06-2003, 07:55 PM go here and download the omega 3.7 drivers follow the instructions to do so like uninstalling your other ones first blah blah
http://www.omegacorner.com/index_ati.html
then go here and optimize your mobo settings for you radeon 9800
http://www.omegacorner.com/bios.htm
only thing i disagree with in his bios settings is aperture size :
AGP aperture size : 128 (USE 64MB IF YOU EXPERIENCE TEXTURE CORRUPTION)
you might wanna play around with that figure to see what suits your pc best . I myself use 256mb and found its best.
gl
I have a radeon 64ddr vivo and an 1800+, I get 40-50fps at 12*10.
cat3.2 I think on a fucked up copy of win2k.
DarKSouL_BC 10-07-2003, 11:49 PM someone plz help ;[
