graphics card messed up

j1994 · 08-01-2009, 11:00 PM

I decided to be stupid and mess with my video card drivers. I uninstalled my other ones and installed omega drivers. Then messed with a few settings and decided I didn't like it so I uninstalled them and reinstalled my regular ATI drivers. Now when ever I play cod4 or any game mostly cod4. I lag. It's not ping lag or fps lag. I get a constant 120-130 ping and play with 70-90 fps all the time. My graphics in my game look as fake as possible like carboard and I don't know what to do. It really bothers me and I have tried several times to fix it. my video card is ATI 2400 hd with 256mb memory. I want to play my game at basic graphics but not this low. Hopefully you guys can help me fix my lag.

thanks for reading.

Boot into Safe Mode & Uninstall all drivers an look for any remnants of the Omega drivers and get rid of them.
Do a fresh download of the drivers from ATI and install them.

Ok that only worked for a little bit. The lag is almost completely gone but it still is their. What should I set my settings to so I don't lag.

anti aliasing. on or off
adaptive anti aliasing. on or off
anisotropic filtering. either use application settings or I can set it by pixels.
2 or 4 or 8 or 16
Disable catalyst A.I.
Mip-map detail.

Those are all the settings I can change. This is what I currently have my settings at.
Anti aliasing is set to aplication settings and I have it set off in the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
adaptive anti aliasing off
----------------------------------------------------------------------
anisotropic filtering set to 16x per pixels samples
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Catalyst A.I. is disabled
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mip-map Detail is set to quality
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HERE ALL MY SYSTEM SPECS
intel dual core running at 1.80 GHz
2gb of ram running at 1.79 GHz
ati 2400 hd graphics card with 256mb
I believe thats all you need to know for the settings.
