call of duty 2 LOW fps problem

[hellhunter]

Dear TSF,


when i play COD2 Online i always lag because of my low fps, my FPS is mostly like 15-22.
What can i do???



System:
Manufacturer:
Acer
Processor:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory:
2048MB RAM
VideoCard:
ATI radeon x1650 SE HM 512 MB (think my vid card isnt compatible or to slow)
Operation System
Windows XP Media center 2005

I got my vid Card drivers updated.

maybe i have to update my nvidia Nforce chipset but i dont know what type of Nforce chips i have so i dont know, which drivers i have to download at the nvidia site.


Thx for all the help im getting :D

[pharoah]

what kind of internet connection do you have?do you have this problem in single player games?if we are going to find you the proper chipset drivers.we need to know what exact model that acer is?

Download: 159.5 KByte/sec (=1276 kbps)

UPload 26.1 KByte/sec (=209 kbps)

so i think 1 mbps adsl. sometimes its like 1300 kbps


and i got an acer aspire E380 - 2E74

but with everest i cant see what kind of motherboard i have, and im interested what kind it is.


EDIT:

with that sysspec tool (saw your link ) i found out my motherboard thing

that sysspec is so Great :D. what drivers do i need???

i read somewhere it maybe doesnt fit in with games because they are made for multimedia pc's.

but i hope ill get some reaction at my questions

[pharoah]

before we go messing with drivers.be sure you have the amd dual core optimizer installed.

[hellhunter]

i got that installed

[pharoah]

go here look for driver downloads.it may be under support.i couldnt read it lol,or i would have taken you all the way to the downloads.just be sure its for your specific model.

[hellhunter]

what drivers does it have to be the drivers for the chipset or graphic card or CPU :P or whateva

[pharoah]

just update any drivers they have there.any that are newer than what you have now.

[hellhunter]

it didnt worked


srry i was off a few days

[pharoah]

try this http://www.techsupportforum.com/arti...rsviewpro.html post back the voltage,and temp readings.

I'll be completely honest, I'm not a computer wiz but I've used a Radeon cards and GeForce cards and there is no comparison. None of my games played very well on my Radeon, I had the X1600SE and it just didn't do anything. I now have a GeForce 7800GS and am getting another to bridge together, and running on just the one I can play some pretty serious games at the highest graphics settings without much of an issue, Call of Duty 2 only gives me a few small FPS fits during the parts where there are dead bodies everywhere. Other then GTR2 which slows a little when I have 40 cars in front of me, it plays Halo2 and Combat Evolved flawlessly, as well at UT2004, NFS Carbon and Most Wanted, Brothers in Arms, Red Orchestra, and pretty much anything else I've thrown at it.

That'd be my only advice, invest in a GeForce and you won't regret it, I sure don't.

[hellhunter]

Vector at UT i have nice FPS.



Voltage and temps

[pharoah]

i really noticed a couple things off which the program may not be reading right.are you using cool,and quiet?if so disable that in the bios,and see what affect it has.also while you are in the bios check the voltages in there.what resolution are you running the game at?the vid card may not be able to handle it try reducing settings.

[hellhunter]

As far as i know i dont use Cool and quiet


and i play at 800 x 600 in COD because if i do the 1680 x 1050 resolution my fps is like 2-3 -_-. and it even lags more.

[pharoah]

do you have any friends with a more powerfull video card?that might let you test it out on your system.that sure would narrow down the problem quickly.

[hellhunter]

i maybe can do that


i got a friend with a Nvidia 8800 GTS

its more powerfull i think :p

[pharoah]

yes if he will let you test your system with that card,and the problem goes away we will no its your video card causing the trouble.

[hellhunter]

pharoah, i havent been to my friend yet but.

maybe i have to put off my graphic engine of my motherboard???? maybe thats the prob??

[removed91107a]

Maybe if you get good fps in UT2004 then it isn't your graphics card, but still I'd trash it and get a GeForce. With my Ati I did have a similar and off the wall problem where it would run certain games very well but different games it would run very, very poorly. Didn't have anything to do with the game, had everything to do with the card.

[Fr4665]

im running or used to run a x1600pro and got good fps during online play and experienced no lag. Usually the SE versions are very low end and featuer slow memory bus like 64bit (thats how it used tobe with the 9600SE).

try to borrow your friends 8800 and see if that solves the problem as pharao stated, the issue is the card. Possible check out an ati x1950pro or a nvidia 7900gs. Also i have had good experience with my x2600xt ddr3 so far from ati.

let us know and post back !

for the onboard video. go into the bios (while booting press f2 or del) and look for an option to turn off onboard video. also uninstall any nvidia graphics driver (using drivercleaner in my sig). once that is done go to the nvidia website (www.nvidia.com) and download the nvidia motherboard drivers for the nforce430 chipset. after that is installed, download new ATI video drivers from www.ati.com and install them (you can also download omega drivers wich usually perform a little better then the ati ones www.omegadrivers.net)
