bottlenecker or does my computer really does sucked

[lewbaseball07]

ok my rig is at the bottom there......is my 30 buck asrock mobo bottlenecking my whole system or does my computer really suck that much cuz i get like 20 fps on the halo and half life and my computer scores about 2,000 on 3dmark 05 and a normal gaming computer gets like 20,000??????????????????

 

[lewbaseball07]

hahahaha i freakin shouldnt of wasted 150 bucks on that 6600gt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i should of stayed with the 64mb asus card hahahahahahahah

 

[kmjohnso]

Your PC obviously has some problem. I suspect its you GPU overclock. I have a Athlon Xp 2000+ with a 6600 that scores better than yours, and I dare say yours should be faster. I'd lower the over clock and rerun 3dmark05, you won't get 20,000 but above 3000 would be a start.

same mines goin to kick ur ass iam getting a core 2 duo e6300...7900gt.....2gb ddr2 667....nforce 4 mobo(maybe nforce 5)...lol wat r u getting

 

[lewbaseball07]

actually i get 2888

What Half Life 2 settings are you using? Tell us all of them.

Your system should be able to do a little better than that. Try a lower resolution and turn off any HDR, AA, and go to bi-linear or tri-linear filtering.

Your rig prolly shouldn't go above 1024x768, if even that doesn't work try 800x600.

I'd rather play at a low resolution with high FPS than the other way around.

Good luck.

 

[lewbaseball07]

ok maybe iam exaggerating a little it gets like 30 fps on 1024x768 but like when i start shooting with like a machine gun it will be like 10 fps

 

[lewbaseball07]

hahaha ok ill stick to punching everything worst case ill use my pistol

 

[lewbaseball07]

my computer only has looks goin for it.....xbox 360 controller 4 aqua lights some red led fans and the mge viper case

 

[Heyyou27]

E6300, OCZ 2gb DDR667, X1800XT or 7900GT, or X1800XL.

And I'll still kick your ass with my year old K8 and 7800GTs. (hopefully... )

LOOKS LIKE ITS TIME FOR AN UPGRADE, THAT OLD BOARD PROBABLY HAD THE LOWLY 845P/GV INTEL CHIPSET ON IT. NOT A GOOD STARTING POINT FOR A GAMING RIG!!!
YOUR CPU, VID CARD, AND MEMORY NOT TOO SHABBY.
LOOK FOR A CHEAP BOARD PREFERABLY WITH THE INTEL 865PE/P CHIPSET ON IT, THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OUT THERE IN SOCKET 478 FASHON FOR A REASONABLE PRICE.

That's a pretty normal score for a 6600GT, especially because it's probably being bottlenecked by your CPU.

Hmm I think it COULD be your Mobo.. If the AGP bus on the mobo is 4x instead of 8x then your FPS is getting screwed..

I had a similar problem with my Geforce 6800 AGP 8x\4x but as soon as I upgraded my mobo to a AGP 8x one my FPS on HL2 Shot up like a rocket!!! I used to get 40-50 fps tops (Average 28.4) but now I get 110-120 fps tops (Avg. 84.3). Every other component on my RIG was the same the only change was the mobo and the AGP bus.. And the funny thing is Battlefield 2 started running smooth as silk right after the upgrade.
I run my games at 1024x768, 2X AA, 4X AF, Med-High details.

SPECS:

ECS AGP 8x Mobo
Athlon 64 3200+
BFG Geforce 6800 OC AGP 8x
2x 512 sticks of ram (1 GIG RAM)
Creative X-fi Extreme Music sound card (SWEET 7.1 SS audio)
550W PSU
250 GB Hitachi Hard drive Deskstar (7,200 RPM)
Black case with blue led fans all over the place..

Hahaha. My rig gets more fps in halo than yours does and its going on 7 years old. See sig for specs. I game halo at 1024x768 on high graphics settings. But on all other settings that dont deal with graphics I have to run on low.

 

[kmjohnso]

Yeah that seems more reasonable... I just checked and I get 2433 in 3D mark05 with an AthlonXp 2000+ 4x AGP 6600 non GT @400/575. I guess I figured there was still a little room in the P4 2.4, maybe not.

What's you 3dMark05 score without any overclock?

What exactly made you think that all caps lots of exclamation marks and underlining everything would not make you look stupid?

 

[Mike995]

I personally get over 100 fps playing cs:s @ 1280x1024 with everything set to high, and I have 4x anisotropic filtering on which is driver locked. Him getting 20 fps in hl2 is extremly odd. There has to be something else wrong. I can guarantee its not a motherboard problem as I have 1 asrock p4 mobo, and ive put one in a clients computer, in replacement of his oem board, both work great and im suprised with all of the settings these cheap 50 $ motherboards have to offer. Btw to everyone thinking 4x agp is going to actually have a great effect on fps is in fact wrong, it doesnt even hinder the framerate.

 

[lewbaseball07]

o sry guys my cpu is not overclocked at all i just had it overclocked at the time. the time of benchmarks i only had memory and my vid card overclocked not much though....no i checked that before in the bios and i had it set to 8x almost possitve of that ill check back on that wen i turn my computer off tonite

 

[lewbaseball07]

and my mobo is a via pt880 chipset SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IAM NEVER GOIN TO PUT A VIA CHIPSET IN ANY ONES COMPUTER I BUILD I GUESS I LEARNED MY LEASON.....WHAT DO U GUYS THINK IS BOTTLENECKING MY COMPUTER I SPENT 750 BUCKS ON IT I THINK IT SHOULDNT BE THAT BAD??

 

[lewbaseball07]

O and i checked cpu z and its set to 8x agp

 

[kmjohnso]

Your GPU memory clock isn't really at 1.8 GHz, right?

 

[lewbaseball07]

haha typing error....its clocked at 1.08
