another q for teh guruz (very low fps in JA)

[Rumor]

ok seeing as i'm coming down w/ the flu or something and i don't want to search and search (not to mention i'm one lazy ****) i have a q.

 

whenever i get close to someone my fps hits like 5-0 or i completely miss frames for a second or two. this happens at minimum and maximum detail with r_dynamicglow 0.

 

specs:

 

p4 2.533

1 gb rambus

120gb hdd

gf4ti4600 128mb

sb audigy

 

config (so u can see what cvars i need to change this is my basic duel config w/ some chat bind carryovers from tdm/ctf):

[Amidala from Chop Shop]

The only thing that jumps out at me is this:

 

seta r_customwidth "1600"

seta r_customheight "1024"

 

Are you really running 1600x1024 resolution? Try cutting it down to 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, or 1280 x 960. The lower the resolution, the higher the FPS, so find the compromise between resolution and FPS that you like best.

[Bilbo Skywalker]

did u check out mjz tweak guide on images site? maybe some helpers in there?

[Rumor]

yeah i did.

 

o and i play at either 640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768 with everything on low. idk y that says that unless that is max or something.

[Andy867]

Yea, that R_customheight and width is the most that JA will support unless someone runs multiple monitors. The only thing I can think of is the SB Audigy and if you have Advanced EAX turned on. And are you running the game with the new patch (v1.01) and be sure that you have the latest 53.13 drivers from Nvidia which have produced very nice results over its predecessor (52.16). let us know how that works out
