BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

[Mr.Matt]

3D mark 05: 3353

all tests,
res 1024x768
anti none
filtering optimal
VS 3_0
PS 3_0
fixed framerate off

now I do not know what to do, I just bought this new rig, and it's doing ****...

here are the specs,

P4 650 3.4ghz LGA775 CPU
Gigabyte GA-8I915P-D Motherboard
Leadtek Winfast PX7800 GTX THD 256mb Video card
2gb of elixir DDR2 533 RAM

I dno whats wrong,

I used to have:

P4 3.0 GHZ prescott socket 478
intel D865PERL
Leadtek Winfast A400 GT (6800 GT) 256mb
2gb of Corsair DDR400 RAM dual channel

and it ran all BF2 settings on high, 2x antialiasing, 100% view distance,
at 1152x864x75hz
without lag at all!!!

but the new system with the exact same settings except 85hz (cause my new monitor can handle that) does not even come close!?!?!

the system is running better but none of the games of anything visual!

any ideas ppl???

have you reformatted w/ the new mobo/cpu install? if not you should.

[Mr.Matt]

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

when you say "reformatted" do you mean like fully re-install XP Pro?

yeah, a complete install, when i put in my AMD 64 it ran slow until i reformatted.

[Mr.Matt]

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

thanks for that

while we're on the subject of fixing stuff, at first when i booted up it only showed my secondary cd-rom drive,

then after i restarted a coupe of times cause i was fixing stuff, it dissapeared too, and now when i boot up it does not find eithe of them,

i have tried them in a different IDE port, in primary/slave mode and in cable select mode... but to no effect, and if i unplug them then my system drive does not show up...

any ideas???

[Mr.Matt]

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

alright guys,

i fixed the CD rom drives problem, (Mobo bios had a fix in it)

and I have fully formatted my system Hard Drive ands installed XP Pro again...

now my 3D MArk 05 score is 5571...

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

im confused....

ive got a 2.0ghz processer
1 gig of ram
and a standard 6800

yet i still get 4950 on 3dmark05 and can run bf2 on all high 2x aa @ 1280x1024

your system is much better than mine so i would have expected you to get a much higher 3dmark score

[Mr.Matt]

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

you think ur confused???

now i am really confused,

well i dno what to do

what brand of 6800 is urs?

mine is a LEadtek Winfast PX7800 GTX

do you know anybody who is really good with pc's that can help, cause I am about half/half and I am absolutely clueless...

and I am not sure about the elixir RAM,

come on ppl help us out!!!

[SgT.uK]

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

mines a v9999 asus 6800 128mb

i only got it to get away from my 9550 and i didnt have much to spend but it performs much better than i expected

[Darksniper75]

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

Okay, listen carefully, because I will explain it only once. Perform the following steps:

- Check the Wattage on your PSU, you need at least a 350, but tbh a 450 is the real minimum with your setup!

- Get the latest drivers for your mobo, soundcard and any secondary equipement you've hooked up

- Get the G-Xtreme drivers from www.tweaksrus.com , they alone will boost your cards performance by 20-25% and that is no joke. You'll thank me later.

- Get KILLDISK, a low-level format utility

- Use KILLDISK to do a low level format aka Setting your Harddisk in the same state when you bought it. It doesn't just erase the directory structure, but actually overwrites all sectors with zero's.

Install Win XP pro. Install all the drivers. And run BF2 and 3DMark at the best settings.

Cheers

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

alright, well now i have done that stuff, and by the way i have a 500w psu....

here are the results since i made those changes,
my 3D mark 05 score went to >5590<
not much different,

i should really clarify BF2 does not LAg lag, (i know what i said) what happens is it's good, but then these kittering here and there...

here are my current settings/specs/stuff

righ well it's the same with every game i have, thios stupid little jittering here and there.

there gotta be a way to get rid of it, and get my setup up to it's proper standard, so far the syatem has imrpoved quite a bit since i redid this stuff but now the acutal graphics which was the most important goal...

come on ppl, theres a fix for almost anything with pcs..

You made a low level format under the hour????

Can't be

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

alright that's not done yet, but give me a day and i will report back, if there is still no change, then we will talk.

ok?

Sure, mate, but that will make the difference. Because all will be clean. I hope you didn't just install the G-Xtreme drivers without deinstalling the ones you had?

Cheers

[Berrern]

Re: BF2/PC Peformance Problem!?!?

What's the G-Xtreme drivers you're talking about?

Never heard of that stuff, I've heard of Omega's custom drivers, but that's about it.

Care to share some info, since you claim these drivers alone gives such a massive performance increase?
