GTS 250 Help!

[booboo]

Here's a blind shot, make sure that he hasn't set it to "performance" in the nvidia panel, because that will sacrifice the graphics for the peformance, quite alot. YOu might have it to "Quality" if you do, set it to "performance" and see if there's any increase..

With a E4700 at stock speeds, you should be getting in the neighborhood of 100 FPS in a source game, so your max is actually not that far off.

I Just asked my mate what GHz his PC is (the one which has a 9600) and he says he has a dual core 2.7 i think he sed or 2.6 which is the same of mine :s.

Dual core 2.7 or 2.6 doesn't help at all. For all we know it could be a Pentium D 805 that runs at 2.667GHz...

Well there is somthing obv' wrong with it, if my friend has a Sh*tter GFX card then me and about the same Processor but he has over 80 More FPS.

[ReCoNx]

Anymore Ideas why i am getting low FPS?....

[booboo]

Did you try my idea? Try changing it from quality to peformance in the nvidia control panel.

Ye i did i saw about 6 FPS Change :p better then nothing. but its still only like 70 :s.

maybe vsync is on, or it has a fps limiter, is weird because i could play css on a gforce 6200, drivers might not be optimized for windows NT, try with windows 7 or vista

Drivers are up to date for my vista computer and V-Sync is Off.

Anyother ideas...

Your FPS is fine. Stop listening to your friends comparisons with his graphics card.

its not fine! i have asked about 40 people and at least 80% of them said there is somthing wrong!

[Vice]

You dont supply enough information. You need to specify the full settings your using in the game and where you are taking FPS readings. Your FPS to me is perfectly fine.

Give us your maximum FPS, your Minimum FPS and your Average FPS.

You should really find out what processor your friend has. Just because you both have the same clock speed (2.6GHz), it doesn't mean you will get the same amount of performance while running games. There are many factors that determine how well your processor will be able to perform. These include the amount of cache, FSB speed, etc.

I would advise you to ask your friend what processor he has exactly, not just the clock speed. Your processor could very well we the bottleneck in your system.

Right my Min FPS is about: 60 Max is 85 and my average is about 77.

i just did a video stress test on css and i got 204 FPS. i went into a server and i was getting 70 so i thought hmm maybe the server went into 5 more servers and still an average of about 70-80 fps

[Vice]

What settings are you using. Everything on High? Medium? Low?

High apart from AA & AQ

ok then your FPS is perfectly normal.

i have just done a video stress test and got 204 FPS but when i joined a server i got straight away 60ish FPS

The stress test usually does yield a better FPS count than in the actual game. Especially compared to games with higher amounts of people.

Do you use custom models and skins? That can also negatively impact performance. If you do, I would suggest you at least remove the world models, as they tend to cause a FPS hit depending on how many models/skins you have installed.

Also, find out what processor your friend has. The Source Engine tends to be GPU as well as CPU intensive.

Alright, keep us updated.

Hopefully we can sort this out :) .

For the last time. Your FPS is fine. There is no problem with it you are getting the FPS amount you are supposed to be getting with the hardware you have. If you want higher FPS upgrade to a GTX260.

Thanks 2 this guy on CSS i met he told me to set my AA to x4 and now im getting a constant 160FPS most the time.

so you was wrong Vice thanks anyway Guys.
