Oh my god help :/

PHB

Processor : 1200 AMD T-Bird
Ram : 256meg SD RAM
Graphics Card : Gainward Ge Force 4 ti 4800 Ultra Gold Sample
Graphics Drivers : Nvidia Detonator 44.03
Operating System : XP Professional with Service Pack 1

My CS drops to 40 reguarly, battlefield is unplayable, im wondering can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do.
I've tried swapping to lots of different graphics drivers, I've enabled 4 speed AGP on my mobo, I've set the apature size to 128meg, I've disabled all AntiAliasing et al even though I shouldnt have to

Is DX9 final now or still in beta? Could be an issue with that.

Try using open GL in CS phb.. not sure bout battle field but if open GL rendering works better in CS, try it in battle field if it supports it.

was it working good before? or have you always had this problem?

If it worked good before, try and remember what u changed.

WinXP SP1
DX 9.0


There's your problem


DX 9.1 is out now isn't it?
And it *should* afaik sit nicely beside 8.1a, as MS are currently splitting DX into two streams, "legacy", DX7/8 and "XP Gen". DX9+

Why did you install DX9 when CS and BF don't require it?

You should *only* use OpenGL in CS if you ahve a hardware TnL card. The API automatically takes advantage of the acceleration. CS (or rather Half-life) was written with DX6.1 support, which didn't include hardware TnL, only DX7+ has it.

Battlefield doens't use OpenGL.

I think it was enter the matrix, or splinter cell that required 9.0, but I had the problem ever before that.

I only recently got this new graphics card, and I havn't had it working yet
I've had it running with DX 8.1 and its still the same unfortunately.

I use OpenGL in CS, and its still the same


Is it possible that the graphics card could be faulty?

Gerry

nope, if it was faulty, machine wouldn't boot or you'd get image corruption. This is a driver issue. Install the latest via 4-in-1's, and consider a reinstall. Would be handy if you have another partition to mess about with.

I already tried formatting and reinstalling, I have vin 4in1 drivers installed
