What are you on about intels processor sockets? or you just a real jackass? hes running AMD (754 or 939) anyway in reply to the original poster alpha mate, what drivers are you running should be 77.77 also latest mobo drivers, what 3dmark05 score do you get, i had only 30-60 (mostly 40) with 2 of those cards, i found that my Intel P4 3.6 (775LGA) was a huge bottleneck for these cards the cards can handle it but the cpu cant, 3dmark05 would give me a score of 8300 now i get over 3000 more points with a better processor, costly but i spent so much on both 7800's that i had no choice to spend more.

Re: 7800GTX having FPS issues...

Try turning your sound to software, because you can't really tun hardware with onboard sound. See if that makes a difference.

Also, do some research on your power supply...you need at least 26 Amps on the +12V rail to run the GTX at full power, as I found out the hard way...I still need a new PSU because I only have 24 Amps on it. If you don't have 26, try getting a new power supply...and let me know if it makes a difference

Re: 7800GTX having FPS issues...

Are you kidding me, im tired of people saying the CPU bottleneck ********, all the time, maybe if he had like 2.0 chip maybe, but even then it would not be a big problem, something is wrong with you system. How about virus????? like someone mentined also drivers???? background operations on your system. Look at me specs and my FPS varies, but like if im flying and all i see is like sky i get 98 but when flying and looking at the ground with alot of stuff happening i get like 45. Something is up with your system, cause it sound like a good one.

CPU actually does bottleneck a GPU, just not very much in this game. It's gotta be something, but I have the same problem he does and I have 15 processes running (that includes BF2 and FRAPs) and I run weekly spyware/adware programs, disk defragments, disk cleanups...so I don't know what the problem is. It's gotta be his power supply, and I'm hoping that's all it is for me.

Re: 7800GTX having FPS issues...

An AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and up will not bottleneck a 7800GTX. I can't remember where the damn link is, but it's been tested. The 3700 is definitely not a bottleneck or issue at all. First thing I'd do is set sound to Software, Low, EAX off. See what kind of difference that makes. Don't use Hardware with onboard sound. Second, although I haven't found this in my case, if you use Xfire it's been said that it causes lag and fps issues. Try those two first and come back and repost the new numbers.
You should be getting much higher numbers. Are you in 16,32, or 64 man servers. With my setup, which is much lower than yours, I get consistent 50's with the same settings except I use and Audigy 2 ZS. I'll get 80-90 fps in 16 man servers, and 60's in 32. Good Luck.

Thanks for your input guys... allow me to address it:

Ok, i will try this... but i still dont think such a setting would destroy FPS that much...

Also, do some research on your power supply...you need at least 26 Amps on the +12V rail to run the GTX at full power...

I highly doubt the PSU is the problem. The seasonic s12 is one of the top psu's out there. Many people feel it's better then the hyped jetengined PC Cooling 510. It is nVidia certified for SLI - with a total 12V of 36A on dual rails (18A each). See: Specs

FRESH partition and format - with nothing installed but BF2... so no spyware/virus problems ... i ran scans anyhow just to be double sure... the system is as clean as a surgeons glove.

No use of Xfire yet.

I usually play 40-64player servers....

Does anyone know what the numbers mean in the display fps? ## / ## ?
Why 2 numbers?

as listed, i definatly dont need a diff. processor - the 3700+ is more then enough.

Display Drivers: nVidia 78.01
Chipset Drivers: nVidia 66.66
Mobo Firmware: Asus 1007

I will install 3dmark05 and 04 tonight and post the results.

Re: 7800GTX having FPS issues...

i beleive the first is your frames per second and the second is CPU usage, so someone told me anyway

**lcplsickoll** · 09-28-2005, 11:47 AM

Re: 7800GTX having FPS issues...

Fps/Cpu load, and for some odd reason this game does show dramatic changes in fps with sound changes. I'd try that first and check it out. A full 64 man server you should get around 60-70 steady with your rig and settings, maybe higher. I'm just guessing.

Re: 7800GTX having FPS issues...

I was the one that posted the link a while ago about how a 3000 and FX-57 gets the same FPS w/ a 78GTX...but now that I actually have the card, I think I'm gonna call ******** on that benchmark. I am getting pretty low performance, and the rest of my system is pretty good except I could use a better CPU. When I buy my 4000 San Diego, I will post any differences I notice, especially if there is an FPS increase.

Wrong.

Even todays best CPUs bottleneck high end video cards.

Also, you should lower some settings, You can't get 60-100 fps with those settings.

Bf2 is that demanding, and I have a somehwhat similar, but better system.

Agree! Delete your current driver and try 77.77. 78.01 was intended for mobile users.

Also... S12-600W I'm jealous of your PSU.

**HellzxFluffyBunny** · 09-28-2005, 02:15 PM

Re: 7800GTX having FPS issues...

Also, since this hasn't been mentioned yet that I can see, have you tried flashing your bios???

Nitemare... you are a GOD AMONGST MEN!!!

When i switched it to software, frames now run anywhere from 70 - 95fps!!!!!! THANK YOU!

it's a shame i just spent about $286 on a Fatal1ty sound card... but o well! as you see from my list, i like the best of the best! :-)

your crazy... i was getting close to that range with my 6800GT on high everything!
