Low fps in games

I am not sure where to post this.

When I play on CS:S or any other games I get low FPS like 20 - 40

It used to be 300 - 400

welll safe to say you shoud be getting bit more than that how ever 300 is deff not what you should be getting.

one thing is check what settings th gfx are at if you have soe how turned on high levels of AA and AF that will cause a dramatic drop in fps

Well I used to all ways have about 300 - 400 fps.

You changed graphics card recently?

paul rope · 14 Feb 2009 at 17:07

Nope.
It the same one that I have all ways have.

drop the gfx settings to min and see what frame rates you get.

Graphics.

paul rope · 14 Feb 2009 at 17:44

Get 90 FPS with all on low.

DAnDan · 14 Feb 2009 at 17:49

And you've not changed anything at all recently? New screen?

Mate has a pc with same enough specs, he gets around 50-60fps at the most in public (20 man pub). He uses pretty much lowest settings and 800*600 resolution.

paul rope · 14 Feb 2009 at 18:03

Nope,
Could it be drivers out off date or something?

mp260767 · 14 Feb 2009 at 18:22

any updates been applied to the system, any software/programs running in the background ?

is that the only game, or have you add fps loss on anything else ?

is the fps loss in single player or multiplayer as well ?

paul rope · 14 Feb 2009 at 18:46

No no updates have bin installed.
I close all the programs I don't need open.
It is all games.
Not try Single player but I know I do in Multilayer

Hey Paul,

there are one or two reasons I can think of that may explain how you *KILLED* your FPS!

Download CPU-z and lOOk at the tab called [Mainboard] Does it say PCI-E x1 or PCI-e x16, also you can check your CPU is running at the right speed
Has the *universal* nVidia control panel been changed (i.e forced AA and other HQ settings etc). I see your using Vista so I'm not sure how you check this!
