Mr Dave Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hello Ill try and keep this short. I upgrades a while ago, the gfx card i got was a leadtek 6800LE 128mb i thought yay its guna run everything proper bo. however, after bothering to play source and hl2, ive come to the concluetion i dont think its running at its full potential. i downloaded the what i think are the latest drivers off the nividia site, 77.72 or something. but i only get 75 fps drops to 30 in places (Y) But i have got a lcd moniter, which the higest refresh rate it can do is 75fps, so obvisly im not going to physically see more than 75 fps but surely it could say its going over that?? More importantly im more bothered about it dropping below 75, obvs 75 it perfect ( as ur eye can only see something like 6o i think) what im gettin at is what have i got to do? recomendations for settings ? just help please :D im not a total noob but dont no everything........ Tar :P Dave :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 It's an LE, but dropping to 30fps is a bit weird. Ain't sure could be your Anti Aliasing and Anistropic Filtering levels. Possibly VSync aswell stopping it going over 75fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 wheres the best place to get drivers mate? From messing about ive found i think the best settings are, the ano woteva both off, and vertual sync on, all the other stuf on high.. tar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 What spec is the rest of the pc you might have a bottleneck elcewhere but as has been said its an LE so it wont be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuse Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) It depends exactly where the FPS drops. There's no way you'll get a constant FPS throughout the entire game, as invariably certain sections will require more oomph to recreate. Typically large outdoor sections are killers for FPS, particularly if it's not been coded well. Remember the more stuff going on in the game, the more of a pasting the graphics card is going to take, and hence the performance will drop. Admittedly, a drop from 75 to 30 is quite large, but I wouldn't naturally assume that there's anything wrong with your system as such.

Mr Dave Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 oh yeah i guessed that, but i just thought the gfz card should be able to handle that no probs and keep the steady 75fps to which the moniter can display :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
