FPS in myth - low fps

Ricochet · Post by **Ricochet** » Sun Feb 27, 2005 11:21 pm

Well, before 1.5, i was getting around 250fps normally. With 1.5 MAXED out it'll be 67.34fps... sometimes it'll get stuck @ 67.34 and won't move from this number, generally it's around 50fps....

i have:
3.2GHzEE
2 gigs of PC3200 ram
ATI Radeon 9800 XT 256MB graphics card

i use software mode with 1024x768.... (i dunno i've always liked the software looks better...)

anyways... i was wondering what the deal was and if there is anything i can do to change my fps so i can get more again? thanks.

have you tried the 1.5.1 beta at all Rico?

Are you sure you had 250+ fps with the same settings on the same hardware with the same drivers installed on 1.4? Can you confirm this by doing a test?

okee dokey, time for an all-out explanation =)

here is 1.5

here is 1.5.1

i then continued to install a new driver (atleast i think it was a new driver) for my 9800 XT, and still got 67.34..... =(

if i had the old old ati driver i could attempt to recreate what i was getting, possibly if i had my hands on patch 1.4.3 i could see as well?

Ricochet, do you _actually_ experience any frame lag at all in those games though? 70 fps is fine to play in, especially since Myth 2 only EVER has anything rendering at 30 frames per second. that's the highest it goes. If your little number monitor is showing +30... i dont know what you've got to worry about. It's when you start getting dips into the lower twenties that there's actually any problem for you... right?

Thanks for the thread. I'm going to send it to some friends so we can have a good laugh.

I get an average of 26 fps on 1.5.1, but there is many a time when I'll be playing and it will suddenly dip to 16ish and never go back up

And Myth 1.5.1 has Spyware! :laugh:
