ET QW Owns my rigg

Born_2_Kill_83 · 1 Oct 2007 at 10:01

With all settings up full I'm lucky if I keep 30FPS for over a minute, when the bombs and bullets start flying I'm down to 18FPS at some points. Turning down AA doesnt make a great deal of difference.
However If I turn off shadows with everything else still maxed I'm always between 30/50FPS.
Any-one else have problems with this game, I mean the graphics are good but its hardly Crysis in DX10 on Ultra settings is it!

C2D @ 3.2
Asus 8800GTX
4GB OCZ 800Mhz
Asus P5B-Deluxe

That doesn't seem right. How does it play in single player?

UniqueID · 1 Oct 2007 at 10:03

mine runs fine - intel 6600, 2gb ram, 8800GTS 320mb
which OS are you running?

Born_2_Kill_83 · 1 Oct 2007 at 10:11

Single player is slightly better but not much and I'm using Vista 64-bit.
My rigg runs bioshock o.k again 30/50FPS and I pull 12050 in 3D mark 06.
I can run 16x AA and still no slow down as long as shadows are off.
Gaming in 1600x1050 btw

its most probably vista. try disabling themes and aero, and updating to the latest drivers if you haven't got them.

Try adding +set com_unlockFPS 1 +set com_unlock_timingmethod 0, to the end of your shortcut.

oh what will that do?

Revolution6000 · 1 Oct 2007 at 10:26

Unlocks the FPS, which is capped at like 30/60FPS or something. I had the demo running poorly and someone told me to add that, FPS jumped to like 100 with everything on High/Ultra and no AA/AF.

Yeah I no noticed it was locked I enable triple buffer in the GPU control panel and it seems to cure that part.

why i still use xp for gaming atm, vista have screwed it up royally.

Revolution6000 · 1 Oct 2007 at 10:35

Oh yea, stupid question are you testing FPS against the CPU or online? As I think the game is locked 30FPS against CPU regardless of what you do.

The game is capped at 30fps i believe you can unlock them as posted above.

Anim · 1 Oct 2007 at 11:13

omg the game is running a bit slow ... BLAME VISTA, idiots.

Anyway there is a known issue with GTX cards, theres a fix on the QW forums afaik somewhere. It was introduced in a minor code change since beta, so no its not your OS

theres a small fix for it but cant remember what it is atm, maybe when i get home.

It should be running fine on that rig. Unlock the FPS as suggested, there's a detailed explanation of that here

Also make sure you have single display mode set in the NV control panel.
