Low Fps on DoD:S

Krazy Karl · Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2005 7:35 am Post subject: Low Fps on DoD:S

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anybody could help me. I am getting 30-35 fps in source constantly. I have the newest ati driver. I have tried everything, turning everything down, everything turned up and everything inbetween. My darn card won't do better than 35 fps. Here are my specs:

P4 @ 2.4
2 Gigs Kinston Ram
Ati 9800 Pro
2-250 gig hard drives. (not running an array)

Any suggestions?

P.s..turning off hdr dosn't do crap!

I had the exact same problem first time around....then it straightened up after the first update...I'm hanging around 50 on the low end about 90-100 on the high end averaging out around a steady 70.

I have everything turned up on high and everything on.

There is a site that has a few config tweaks already for Source that may help you.

How are you checking your frame rate ???
I am running a Gainward 880 pro with 256mg of 500Mhz ram. The game is runnig fine, but with all this talk about frame rate ---- I would just like to know what i'm getting. Thx

your system specs are fine except for one thing karl.

You need a new processor. At least a 3000 GHz Pentium or a 3500+ Athlon 64 is needed to play without lag.

They arent that expensive, they'll cost you around 100 bucks, but you'll have to upgrade your motherboard in order to get em.

My personal suggestion is an Athlon 64, they are really quite nice.

Your poll does not go low enough in FPS for me to vote.

try this

rate 25000
cl_updaterate 20
cl_cmdrate 30
showfps 1
showhitlocation 1

turn sound to medium quality (for slower cpu ram and non sd aud cards)

worst come to worse add this to the autoexec.cfg -dxlevel80 and do that at the end...your graphics should look the same but you could get a 30 fps boost on some systems...this makes the game run in dx8.0 instead of the more advanced dx9.0 or 9.1

also to improve lag reduction if needed turn off voice com..on this update it can cause a tremendous (40+) chunk of choke which will make the lag seem huge

I hope that the tweaks do help. Some maps I spend most of it at 50 but others i run at 140...

i think a lot of it right now is poor compling of the map that puts more textures in a area than should be
