i have just gotten a new grafics card and i know its better than the one i had before

but i cant even get a stable fps_max on 90fps i was hoping i could get some help

and suggestions to what might be causing this. thanks in advance <3 /kizz /hugz

So is that more or less than with the old card? Sorry to inform you but the graphic card has only a little to do with ns fps, so dont expect anything too great.

i'd like to know what does :p

just effects in game mostly, cpu is that what gives you decent fps.

remove vsynch

only thing i have is "wait for vertical refresh" and that is off

what cpu and gfx you have atm? and how many ram?

HOW MANY RAMS? YOU NEED RAMS TO DRIVE THE PLOUGH ON THE GRAPHICS CARD

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU
Q9300 @ 2.50GHz
2.50GHz, 3.50 GB RAM (2x 2gb)

and gfx card

ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series HX191D

That isn't a graphics card

ATI radeon HD 5770 then :p

Dont buy ATI, time for a lock.

5770 is a decent card, what stable fps can you get?

New ATi cards tend struggle with NS from what I've seen, I'm not sure if new Nvidia cards do as well though. I don't know why but my 5870 just drops like a bitch around phase gates and certain areas of some maps. It creams any other game, but ns just owns it sometimes whereas my old 6800 gtx just couldn't stop giving my fps no matter what was on screen, it was a constant 125 even with 10 to 20 phase gates on screen.

i dont know my constant fps because it goes down when stuff is happening but i was able to have a constant fps on 125 before no matter how much stuff was happening and all i changed was the grafic card.

well i can say you have a really nice cpu althought you could overcloack it to atleast to 3.0 since it's intel ; )(it may be also the cause of the fps drops only 2.5 clock on cpu) and ati... is... bad. and i'm telling you this cause i used to use ati myself and now im on nvidia so i can tell the diffrence ; p
and ati is just problems.

< 5770 owner.
200fps+ in NS.
phasegate on screen = 160-180fps...

maybe try using some older drivers btw?

OVERCLOACK IT

LOL

I have a 5770 and it runs NS at high fps perfectly, 200 constant if I wanted it. The only difference between our rigs is the CPU so I guess it must be something to do with that. I have an AMD 940 Quad 3ghz @ 3.4ghz.

fuuuuuuuuuuuckin trolls ; D

"If I wanted it"

Go try it and test it out with phasegates and textures in NS_Metal. You don't have to defend ATi, it just sucks on OpenGL games.

Same, but now I own 5770 and Gtx 460 1gb

Metal isn't problem anymore, dunno about co_umbra & co_daimos... When I got 5770 it didnt lag or do any fps drops in metal but 4850 did. Maybe it was newer drivers or just hd5000 series.

Dynamic lighting problem (phase gate, med/ammo pack flash etc..) is still there

And for opengl.. usually yes but not always. Tere dugi ;P

Every Ati dx10 and dx11 cards (hd2900 from to hd5000 series) have this problem. Its not just ThE NS, this problem occurs in CS 1.6 and every other HL1 engine games (where is dynamic lighting.. pretty much driver problem, because my x1900xt didnt have these problems at the time but now it does).

i'm kicking myself for wasting 1500kr on ATI i should have bought a Nvidia card :(

dont worry psycho, soon ns2 anyway!

...well, in a year or so...

Umm how can you not have a stable 90fps with a HD5770?

What resolution are you using? Tried turning off dynamic lightning in the game?

ATI/AMD have rewritten their OpenGL code in these latest drivers (its getting updated every release now), and many older games do not work at all because developers are not coding the detection of extensions correctly.

Nvidia have always, IMO, had (much) better openGL support. There is nothing from nvidia in the pricepoint of a HD5770 though, you´d have to look at the GTX 460 1GB cards (the 768mb versions are diffrent cards and also slower.)

Little hint (big one actually).
If you own Ati Overclock your cpu
If you own Nvidia Overclock your cpu

Your bottleneck is default Q9300. If you can't overclock much then disable 2 cores and try again. Also config tuning will help

My main comp have i5 750 & gtx460 and fps will be bad in public if I wont overclock my cpu.

I didnt have any fps problems with 5770 (expect those dynamic lights) and I think Ati have better overall fps in bigger servers like able or "le bordel" servers when there is a lot action (I will test it when I have time to do it)..

5770 downclocked to the absolute minimum. can reach constant 300 fps on gayble.

when will you ppl learn that you could even reach const 100fps with a fucking ati rage.

check whats limiting your cpu from working. that easy.

ey sabel can u reach 500 constant on gathers?
