Sartis Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Well my cpu and graphics card are AMD Athlon 1800XP, and Geforce3 Ti 200. I have all graphic setting set up to absolute highest, and I have 2 things I'm wondering. 1. Read in the FAQ that cpu and card could overheat if put higher than 800x600 resolution unless you have 'uber' hardware does mine constitute as uber enough. 2. I seem to be losing FPS on servers on map change, I have to rejoin the server sometimes to get my FPS back up. I lose about 40fps each time this happens. Once went right down to 25fps. Any suggestions. This happened on 1024x768 reso, full setting. Also happened with 800x600. I use the 23.11 drivers from Nvidia. Please help, want to know if I 'over heated' my card playing in 1024x768 thats why I'm having these problems or what...I swear before I was getting full FPS even after map changes..

Sartis Posted May 3, 2002 Author Share Posted May 3, 2002 What Card/CPU do you have and what resolution do you run it at Zero? also do you run it with everything set to full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiles4 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 I wouldn't worry that you've somehow damaged your videocard by playing at high settings and high resolution. JO or your computer would crash long before you could ever do any harm. And yeah, you qualify for uberhardware. I play the game at 1024x768x32 with High Detail and I have no problems whatsoever. And that's with a 1.2G Tbird and a Kyro 2. Try lowering your Detail Level from Very High to High. This might put less stress on your machine and I don't think Very High is worth it anyway.
