HELP low fps in games wtih 850xt?!

[jzmagic]

arg this is really annoying. on cs source 32 ppl servers, im getting fps around 50-60 in high action/detail areas up to 20 ppl servers. then i get a serious fps drop on 32 ppl servers in high action/detail areas. it goes below 32 fps quite a few times. i dunno whats causing such low fps for such a high end card. however, this is quite a different story when not playing online. hl2, i get a consistent 60+ fps on maximum settings at 1280x1204 res. on the stress test, i averaged 96 fps on maximum settings for the same res. on 3dmark05, i scored 6000. so is it a problem with my gfx card? or could there be something wrong with my networking. i can use both usb cable line or my mobo onboard ethernet 10/100/1000 realktek. i get the same results either way. theres nothing wrong with my cable line. i can dl at 700 mb/s on fast websites

{note - the fps i listed in the beginning were with AAx6 AFx16. however, i still had low fps issues, although higher, when i ran it on AAx2 AFx4.}

sys specs are:
3.2 ghz p4
2 gb ddr2 ram
250 gb hd
850xt pci-e

then it is definately a issue with your cable, if it's only online

[jzmagic]

my cable line itself is fine, i dont know what to fix. if i can score 6000 on 3dmark05, i should be able to get +60 fps on maximum settings on cs source on big servers rite?

[mateo leet-o]

well offline in cs source, ya you should get at least 100+fps, but if it's only online then you should maybe try another nic card

You cable connection is waiting for data from 20-32 others who may no have as fast of a connection. That's what is causing your lag in crowded areas.

[duckhunter-deux]

Yeah that's your internet connection, not the card. The more peope that are on the server, the more information your internet has to recieve, and it gets bogged down. If you have a fast internet connection, then there's a good chance it's other players who have a slower connection that are slowing you down. That's why when playing offline you get higher frames per second.

hmm, but this even happens on low ping servers with many low ping players playing. i dont have this fps problem with cs 1.6

[jzmagic]

in counterstrike 1.6, i get a constant 72 fps on any server... seems kinda low for a 850xt?

Sounds like you have vsync on in your display properties.

[jzmagic]

its default off in my display properties under the opengl tab
