40+ players low fps

[chessman21]

I cant kick this low fps problem. 40 players or more fps drops to 20-30 fps's and in 50-60 player games it drops even further to 15-20 fps:cry: .If i create a server or join a game with 5 people in it i get 80-100 fps, so i dont assume its my vcard.MY pings are great 30-50 range. could my cpu be bottlenecking? PLease help

P4 -478- 2.8 ghz
mobo p4s8x
BFG 6800gt oc @ factory 370/1000 with ingame settings on low with AA shadows and dynamic light off 600x800
2 gigs pc2700 kingston
audigy 2 zs
1- 80 gig seagate in raid strip mode.
500 watt xconnect pws

The human eye can not see the difference in anything above 30FPS but the only thing you can do is turn down your graphics or upgrade.

Adware/ virus? Cleaned out your temp files?

Re: 40+ players low fps

yes,, iv cleaned cache and temp files. defraged ,, cleard bf2 shader cach.
no spyware/viruses,, did all the normal stuff,, xp fierwall seems to make no differ on/off.. i dont get it at all.. originaly i thought it was the vcard cause i didnt have the problem till i upgarded vcard from 5700 ultra to a 6800gt,, so i took it back to bestbuy and exchanged it for another one results are the same

could my p4s8x asus/sis mobo be craping out?
could my 2.8 p4 be bottlenecking?
maybe vcard and sis agp dont like each other?
is bfg 6800gt's crappy?
is pc2700 to stupid to keep up with 50-60 players?
Gimme somffin plz..

Hmmm, I think I will try out lower capacity servers, because I have a pretty nice machine and a good ping, but my FPS is terrible...

its not 30 fps. im pretty sure its like 72fps. Try setting your max fps to 30, then to 60. you can see a difference.

but umm, the more players in a server the less fps, no matter your system. Of course it shouldnt be THAT low I guess, are you running on all high?

Re: 40+ players low fps

Had the same prob with x800pro, 3.2 athlon, 1 gb corsair - Sorry our friend rogue maybe correct the only global fix i could get was by altering the settings, plays well all maps 99% of the time now.

I see what he's saying. Your eyes normaly "run at" 30fps. Doesnt mean we can't see a difference though. Above 30fps things just look smoother to us, and less choppy.

Re: 40+ players low fps

The 6800 GT is good but you won't be able to run everything on high.

Re: 40+ players low fps

I got a 9800 pro, and I run half med half low settings with 4X AA. I can go into a 64 player server and get 30 fps.

I go into same map diff server same number of people, and get like 5 fps...literally.

It depends on the server, at least thats what im noticing.

you and me both i guess,, the differ between 25-30 fps and 55-60 fps is night and day from here..

Re: 40+ players low fps

The human eyes don't "run at 30fps." They run at a million FPS, but after a set number of FPS (60fps) the gameplay becomes so smooth that we cannot tell the difference between how many frames we're seeing.
