Re: 40+ players low fps

don't care what fps my eyes run at or yours for that matter . i can "visually" see an obvious differ between 30 fps and 60 fps,, now for me 50 to 95 is no differ on my hardware ..30 to 50+ is a huge differ.

anything past 60 is good.

Re: 40+ players low fps

yes,, i know 60 fps is great.. let me try this again

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?

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..

I don't know much, but since ur running on a P4 that might cause some problems. I'm guessing since the more people there is, the more processing power your going to need, and a P4 isn't a gaming processor.

If you only use that computer for gaming, I would try upgradeing to a AMD processor. I have an asus MB so i think urs should work with it 2. If it's too expensive then just over look it and turn down ur settings.

Edit------

Opps, u already have lowest settings... hmmm....

Ummm, I'm not sure what my FPS is (can someone tell me how to check?) but I can run it Medium on 800 by 600 and a get a decent FPS (this is on large servers only). When I run it on low, I get no FPS lag what so ever. I'm just guessing since the only thing my computer seems to have better then urs is the processor, that it's the processor that is causeing your problems.
