Fear in game test.

dmxdex2020 · 29 Mar 2009 at 21:01

i know its old but im getting into pc gaming and i am playing these games i missed out on.

For some reason during the end of the in game test when the barrel explodes its drops my fps to 20 to 30s with a 4870 x2 it should not be doing that surely or have i missed something?

My average for the test was 70 maxium was 90 this is with vsync on, if i try it off fps are still low when barrel explodes.

How can i get a bottleneck with a e8400??? cpu should rip fear 1 apart.

Minium ranges from 20 to 30 i average fine 70 mainly just curious as to why the barrel slowed me down.

My e8400 is clocked at 3.6 also.

Not sure how my pc has issues with this game see sig.

Maybe fear dont like ati cards or maybe its funny with the x2.

o yea failed to mention res is 1600x1200 but that shouldnt make a difference.

So why the hell is it dropping low when the barrel explodes?

Running 9.3 drivers first time install.

Rest of my spec is up to the standard.

I have the gold edition so its fully patched.

I downloaded all drivers for my board off the cd i have latest catalyst drivers 9.3 its first time install so not had to use driver sweeper.

Fraps even showed it dropping down to 20s to 30s at the same time as the in game test.

Dont think it lags in game when barrels are blown up not sure nads do not cause issues when they explode.

It actually was not the processor i think i had the res on 1024 by mistake it still get crap minium god what the hell is wrong with this.

dmxdex2020 · 30 Mar 2009 at 02:22

I think it was fixed.

Is a 4870 x2 classed a xfire?

dmxdex2020 · 30 Mar 2009 at 02:32

I ran it without vsync on and when the barrel was about to blow it was on 180 fps then it shot right down to 20 to 30 this is not right, is a 180 fps good for my card without vsync on and on 1600x1200?

dmxdex2020 · 30 Mar 2009 at 13:13

I have a crappy 10 pound logitech keyboard do i need them drivers?

dmxdex2020 · 30 Mar 2009 at 13:39

Ok not sure why it runs poor in the test on fear then probs a driver issues.

dmxdex2020 · 30 Mar 2009 at 22:05

maxed out mate on 1600x1200 4 aa 16 af, my card should not even break a sweat on this game.

The max fps without v sync is 600 is just drops to 30 when theb barrel explodes its strange.

It worrys me because im just paranoid my card is faulty because i get low fps in other games in certain places like cod 5 waw but bit tech review show the lowest fps they got on 4870 x2 was 20.
