ive done some monitoring since my previous thread and im guna give more info on my comp. basicaly im getting really poor performance and lag on games. i read about some1 else who has similar specs and can run bf2 full at 150 fps, mine runs it around 50 spiking down to a bit below 25 when in action and lags like crap( i have to put settings on mostly low/medium to prevent lag)! also fear lags badly! 50% below 25fps on full

full specs

cpu - althlon 3800 2.4ghz AM2
gfx - Asus nvidia geforce 7600 gt extreme
ram - 1 gig
psu - 430 watts
mobo - Asus A8N am2 socket

bear in mind the drivers are fine, and its not internet connected

heres a screeny of processor usage levels during play

ive narrowed it down to faulty gfx card, what dya think guys!!??

Add another 1GB of ram

yeh, im guna add ram at some point, but even though i have 1 gig the performance is still too low by quite a bit

Well... If BF2 is anything like 2142 then I'm really surprised that a 7600GT could do 150FPS on maxed everything... Shit, my 6800GS did only 45 at full everything

RoDDerz · 11-23-2006, 02:15 PM

yeh that surprised me aswell lol

some other people i was talking to were running bf2 with a little better settings than me with a 5600 or 6600

What driver do you have ?

The latest diver forceware 93.71 is not good at all, if you have it then try to download forceware 91.47 and see if you get better performance
