Bad video lag in games


Recommended Posts

Games like CS, Day of Defeat, and EverQuest i've been getting really bad fps slowdown and lag.

Have no idea what is causing this, system specs are

p3 927mhz

geforce 2 gts 64mb running 29.42 det drivers

512mb ram

monitor running at 75hz

WHAT'S WRONG? =(

I have to agree with Blixkin on this one. At work I have an Athlon XP 1600+, Asus A7V333, 512 megs of PC2700 Ram and an older ATi Radeon 64meg DDR VIVO card (which is right on par with the card you're using), and in CounterStrike when someone throws a Smoke Grenade, my FPS drops like a mofo... In Dark Age of Camelot it gets really laggy in places too. I would say that the biggest thing that's probably making your system chunk, from personal experience, is the video card.

Now at home, I have an ATi Radeon 8500, and when someone throws a Smoke Grenade it doesn't even phase me. There's a site selling them for about $120...excellent card for that price:

If you got cash, the GeForce4 Ti4600's are wicked fast...or wait another month or so and ATi will have a new one out that will be faster than that.

no it's not bad since most speakers are magnetically sheilded. All new ones are so unless those speakers are like 10yrs old then i wouldn't worry....
