OK, this dosent seem right.My PC isn't performance as good as it should.

I ran the VST and here are the results.


1024x768
Settings max
6xAA 16xAF

Now, I think I should be getting well over just 103 fps.During ingame, my FPS drops to 40 or even 30 sometimes that too with only like 10 players in the server, it averages out at about 60-70 fps.

Even In NFS:MW, my game stutters alot, sometimes fps drops to well below 30.Settings are all maxeed out, no AA, 16xAF at 1280x1024.

Can anyone please advice me? Specs in sig.

TIA.
 
Its your CPU... a 2.2GHz CPU is trouble in source with high settings.

My RiG doesn't have such problem.

VIRUS !!!!!!!!

I have same type of problem, just can't play Quake4. My RiG got virus during searching and applaying CRACKS.

FORMAT the system and now 1st CLASS.
 
I told you to wait for Conroe. but no, You want a Amd single core @ 2.2 Ghz :|.

Your CPU is a huge bottleneck for the whole system.

My Graphics cards, is half as good as yours, and I never drop below 100 FPS, 800x600 / 16xAF / 6x AA / All Full Settings.

Thats coz Source is very CPU intensive. my CPU is about 8x as good as yours.

Go figure.

Your PC isnt underperforming. Its urs A64 @ 2.2 Ghz.
 
Long Story Short.....

Its your CPU.

@side note: please avoid using word stutter. we really dont want to go there :)
 
Not sure, but Isn't AA/AF almost entirely GPU dependent?

If thats the case, the 3500+ Venice is definitely good enough for CSS and NFS-MW at 1280X1024..

I don't think it is the CPU @ fault here

Adi, Thats a gross overstatement :P

The 3500+ is a very capable CPU, and just coz its not the latest & the greatest doesnt mean it won't hold its forte with older games

Coupled with a X1800XT, I doubt there'll be more than a 20% difference on a game like FEAR, and a non-noticeable difference in a game like CSS (say 100 vs 110)

DD, there's something else thats wrong here...

For NFS, I think all you need to do is increase the RAM cache size for the game for the registry..Just google for NFS-MW registry fix

Can't help you with CSS though as never played it :ashamed:
 
CSS is hugely cpu bottlenecked. My framerate in the valve stress test jumped from 170 odd to 290 odd at 1680 res just by a proccy upgrade. It'd be even higher if not for the 300fps cap :P. Source is even more proccy dependant than VST ;). In DD's case, it does seem there are some more issues. DD just check if some process is eating cpu in the background like antivirus or something like that :P.
 
@ Superczar, Me and karan has tried everything, from tweaking, ending background processes, etc, with His old Venice @ 2.5 Ghz, which used to give him drops to 35 - 40 FPS, with his 7800GT :bleh:.. and my Pentium D 820 @ 3.5 Ghz, which used to drop the FPS, to 30 - 35, with and X800XL.

Once I replaced the lame Pentium D with the C2D @ 3.6 Ghz, FPS doesnt drop below 100. Which is because to the Graphics card surely :P.

An A64 @ 2.2 Ghz, is nowhere near a capable chip now. Even an X2 @ 2.2 Ghz, I have my doubts.

CSS, is a VERY VERY VERY CPU Intensive game. Think nothing wrong about that. It is his CPU.
