When my pc was still new it run very smooth. the grafix was set to default. Mow i get about 23fps and sometimes pauses, but that not very often. I used the ftp mod and I can get 30 fps.

but how can i avoid my fps from going down.

What are you referring to? A game? What game?

im referring to a game and video card, meaning when u play game like GTA3 or Street legal, then your FPS goes down, and im wondering How do i keep it at the fps it was at when i bought it and not have it go down or how do i bring it back up.

we need system specs.

its hard to make a guess on just "a game and his fps go down"

do you have the latest drivers for your video card (even know its a mx card)

in gta 3 did you go into the settings and turn off trailing?

what motherboard? is via on it? if so do you have the via drivers installed?

Well GTA3 is a major resource hog, the MX is not so great at handling it as I have experienced.

also do you have the latest updates for the games too

no link....

if you board support via, its as simple as downloading an .exe double clicking it and restarting
