Topic: 3 FPS on new rig

My system:
Core 2 Duo T7500 
Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2600XTb (256mb ddr3, with sharedram 1024mb)
2048MB DDR2 Ram
Hi-Speed 2,5" Segate SATA HDD
Win. XP @ SP3
latest directx9
latest official ati driver
TFT @ 1680x1050 (16:10)

The game runs @ about 3 frames per second, ingame and also in menu. Even the loading screen when you start the game lasts for about 15 seconds

Why that? oO CoD4 runs fine on max details!

To me it seems like opengl acceleration doesnt work properly...but as i already mentioned i'm using new and official ati drivers that havent made any problems yet. The CCC says i got opengl version 6.14.10.7412 , driver packaging version 8.471, catalyst version 8.3

Re: 3 FPS on new rig

Try to use some older drivers for your graphic-card. Kind of a wild guess, but that's the best I can come up with...

Used to be very active waay back

Re: 3 FPS on new rig

Sounds like you have no OpenGL acceleration at all and it reverts to the Microsoft Software implementation that is sluggish as hell. Try running another game that uses OpenGL like the quake series.

Re: 3 FPS on new rig

How can i solve these OpenGL problems? Dont have any opengl games, but opengl is probably the reason.

Re: 3 FPS on new rig

can you try this:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Ben … mark.shtml
its a opengl benchmark..


another thing.. "Mobility Radeon HD 2600" are you playing on a laptop?? have you activated the power play function in catalyst cotrol center?? you can find it in advanced setttings .. very important.. make sure that the vpu recover is activated.. because some ati mobility chips have some problems with opengl games..

i had moore than 4 years an ati grafics card.. this is the reason that i know so much about it wink

Re: 3 FPS on new rig

CCC: Everything set to maximum power.
I really have opengl probs! During the Benchmark there are sometimes huge slowdons (less than 5fps, sometimes less than!) although it sometimes runs perfectly at 90fps.

That is the MS software implementation, with other words, everything runs on the CPU and not the GPU, which is slow as hell.

Re: 3 FPS on new rig

why should i use vista? i dont see any advantages but there are disadvantages: worse performance. But i got a dual boot system, using vista teeworlds works fine cause i installed a different driver there.

problem not solved...but i can play it. thats the important thing smile

Skip the XP vs. Vista war...

You need new graphics drivers. That's it smile
