slow performance using Radeon 9800 card!!!

[jincuteguy]

I have slow down performance when playing Counter STrike. Im using a Built by ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb card. I play on this T1 server which supports 32 players. And the server is always full. My framrate dropped from 75 (max for me using V-sync) to around 60 or lower when I see lots of people on the screen. Im not sure if this is the card 's problem or that's how it suppose to be, anyone experienced this? or any suggestions?

Are you kidding?

Since when has 60fps been bad? Clue me in. And isn't it obvious that increasing the # of people on-screen will decrease your framerate? I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to be.

It would also help if you listed you specs.

O M F G !

We have another contestant for stupidest post/question EVER!!!

60fps is smooth as silk fool.

Half life may be old, but its inefficient as well! Lots of character models/gibs on screen slows it down!
Trust me its normal, but 60fps is nothing (bad).

When i play HL deathmatch with bots i can get it down to 10 easily, just get lots of peeps and start gibbing people, especially when their right in your face.

My sys: 2700+, asus a7n8x, 2x256 corsair xms 3200, 9800 pro.

its probably just the game itself


see, i play this game called Rune. based on teh Unreal engine (unreal tournament 1). i get about the same FPS on my 1700+ and 8500le as when i had a Duron1gig and radeon7200

DONT ask me why. my current system should be 3 times faster. but i still chug down to 40fps in some areas. i mean this is an old game. the graphics are quite dated now

ive found this with CS also. if theres lots and lots of people (like 10) with gunfire and smoke bombs going it can chug any computer. it shouldnt really because its an old game but it does

for that game foog
CS is more like a handful of special ops going against eachother. BF is more like a huge army and the footsolders are grunts. i personally prefer CS to BF1942


we shouldplay BF1942 some time btw

lemme know when

Anyone.
Hmm, Is there any difference between CS and UT as for the FPS going down? I ask because my FPS are always about the same and it doesn’t matter if 1 player or 20? But I’ll check next time to be sure, but I’m pretty sure.

I really dont know why your fps is going down. I play CS on a p3 733 768Mb of ram with a geforce2 MX and it is constantly at 99 fps with high settings all around unless its poolday2 which then it drops down to 40 or so because its a horrible constructed map. There must be some setting that isnt set correctly in your config file or something with the drivers.
