Sean Higgins 06 Jul 2002 23:28 UTC#110184
I get what seems to be low FPS, but when running FRAPS, it doesn't drop below 40. Anything under 55 I start to see slight stutters. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm in 800x600 or 1024x768 16bit, it's the same. Anyone have any suggestions for this? AMD 1700 o/c'd to 1.6G Ti 4600 I have fsaa off, v-sync off, and even tried putting details on LOW with keeping the car detail on HIGH, but it still stutters. I tried chaning the sounds to 15 from 12, like suggested in another post, but nothing different. Any help would be apprieciated, Sean Higgins PRI-- http://www.performance-racing.net/ My Ferrari pics http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/
General answer: Defrag your computer Update all the drivers Exit all TSR's that you don't NEED Does this only happen in this game, or does it happen in others? I'd also try underclocking the CPU, it may be causing errors because of heat. Turn the car detail down too. Try running the game at 1024, with all features set to low, and see if you still have the problem.

I only overclocked the CPU to try and fix the problem, as maybe the processor needed to be faster, but it's all the same. I just defragged 3 days ago, and don't have any TSR's running. -- Sean Higgins PRI-- http://www.performance-racing.net/ My Ferrari pics http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/ "Stuart Becktell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:lALV8.111684$[email hidden]... > General answer: > Defrag your computer > Update all the drivers > Exit all TSR's that you don't NEED > > Does this only happen in this game, or does it happen in others?

Definitely a problem somewhere, you should be getting much higher framerates with that setup. What drivers are you running, and did you uninstall the previous drivers before installing the card? Don Burnette "Sean Higgins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:k2LV8.106716$Uu2.18621@sccrnsc03...

This has several inconsistancies with YOUR problem, but a year or so ago....I had a Piii 500 and overclocked it for F1 2000cs. The more I overclocked the chip, the worse F1 2000cs ran. Especially the sound. It got so bad I could barely exit the menu screens cuz the computer would almost hang whenever the mouse made that little menu noise as it passed over a clickable item. Once I defaulted back to the standard 100 fsb then I got the best performance. Keep in mind that was CS not 2001, it was not with a current video card, and it was with a seriously underpowered Piii 500. But if you are overclocking, even just your vid card, I'd at least try resetting everything. dave henrie "Sean Higgins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:FYLV8.422753$352.57192@sccrnsc02...

Ya but I over clocked it to try and help, so it was the same before I over clocked it. It's just irritating, trying to figure out what's up with this system that it won't run great. -- Sean Higgins PRI-- http://www.performance-racing.net/ My Ferrari pics http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/ "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1%OV8.108731$Uu2.18903@sccrnsc03... > This has several inconsistancies with YOUR problem, but a year or so > ago....I had a Piii 500 and overclocked it for F1 2000cs.

Yes I uninstalled. I've tried everything from 27.42 to 29.80 ( I think it the newest one) I thought something whacko was going on. -- Sean Higgins PRI-- http://www.performance-racing.net/ My Ferrari pics http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/ "Don Burnette" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:2kOV8.308245$[email hidden]... > Definitely a problem somewhere, you should be getting much higher framerates > with that setup. > What drivers are you running, and did you uninstall the previous drivers > before installing the card? > > Don Burnette > > "Sean Higgins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:k2LV8.106716$Uu2.18621@sccrnsc03... > > I get what seems to be low FPS, but when running FRAPS, it doesn't drop > > below 40.

Actually I think you want to go the other way, increase the number of sounds. And try changing sound detail to 0 in the player file too. That gives you more available channels at a lower sample rate, which in my case seemed to help a lot.
