Windows 7 fps!!

Hello!

Since I installed Windows 7 (x64) I am having FPS problems. Before Win7 I had XP x64 and I could ran ET with stable 125 fps and CS:S with 150-250 FPS. So about a month ago I installed Windows 7 because the folks were like "It's so amazing".

About the FPS problems:
I have a Core 2 Duo E4600 (2,4Ghz), HD4850 512GDDR3 and 2Gb of Memory 667Mhz. I have been reading forums, they said it's my memory is the source of FPS lags.

I tried timedemo with a random supply demo(2x15mins) using my old hunk settings, I didn't run et as admin, didn't use winxp compatiblity, with slac on.
Result: 205.5 fps

2nd test, still my old hunk settings, Running ET as Admin, Win XP Sp3 compatibility, slac on.
Result: 206.5 fps

3rd test, this time I changed my hunk settings, still running et as admin, win xp sp3 compatibility, slac on.
Result: 209.0 fps

4th test, New hunk settings, no xp compatibility, and still running et as admin with slac on.
Result: 209.9 fps

5th test, still with new hunk, neither comp nor admin mode, slac still on
Result: 211.2 fps

my last test, I turned SLAC off, neither comp nor admin mode, still with new hunk
Result: 245.2 fps

Old hunk settings: com_hunkMegs 512, com_zoneMegs 24, com_soundMegs 128
New hunk settings: com_hunkMegs 192, com_zoneMegs 24, com_soundMegs 64
Edit: All the tests were done with r_mode 4.

Anyone else on Windows 7 with 2gb of Memory? Are you having fps problems?
oh and chalpja please fix slac!
One more,
I am having ping problems with Windows 7. These lags mostly come on maps, outside fights when alot of people shooting etc. I tried the stuff they said at Windows 7 forums but It doesn't want to work for me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

had also lags on windows 7 [mostly on gold], switched to XP
64 Bit, 2gb of memory? Pointless.
x64 is also better for dual core

Which ET does not take any advantage of, and it's the only game worth to be played. :\

Any source of that?

I am also playing CS:S sometimes and other SP games.
Parent
Not an official source, but NoQuarter is the only mod as of I remember to support multicores and have a cvar to assign CPU affinity (/cpu_affinity [1-12]), and you'll notice ETPro FPS boosts when actually setting ET to a single core.
Parent
Sorry, but how do you set ET to 1 or 2 core ? (it may be a silly question, don't know :p)
Parent
Start ET, go into windowed mode

CTRL+ALT+DEL, Processes. Find ET.exe and right-click it, "Set Affinity"

GL ;)
Parent
impossible ...
Parent
et is using only 1core not both open ur taskmanager and take a look :o
Parent

sisterhood of XP users will welcome you with open arms!
Parent

Parent
You need more ram..
Windows 7 is XP the same ram etc.
Its his visual shit so :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
Parent
ye its vista who took ur ram and rap'd it wasnt it? was not sure..

still 2gb ram for win7 x64?
Parent
Vista build on 64 bit ram people will cry because its slow on a laptop 1.8 duocore.

XP you must have 2 gb or more 64/32 bit.
Windows 7 the same.
Parent
god u really are retarded
Parent
I know i tested Vista 32 bit with windows 7 32 bit and vista was better because Vista 32 bit is using all your specs.
Parent
lol, why is this somehow retarded :p.
What does those hunkmegs do ?
sets how much ram ET uses
Parent
the higher the betteR ?
Parent
yeahh but ET doesnt use that much, so 512 is more than enough
Parent
Quoteoh and chalpja please fix slac


Can't fix what isn't broken.
That's why there is 15% increase in FPS without slac. Right.
Parent
Does that mean SLAC is broken and needs fixing? No. Just means it uses resources. You know... LIKE A PROGRAM THAT RUNS ON YOUR COMPUTER.
Parent
Idd, that's why there was no lag with pb at all in it's old times. and with every other well coded programs.
Parent
GIVE ME your config. Me having same problems I just want a low graph cfg coz I actually like playing r_mode 4.

I'l set my hunk as yours too.
Parent
SLAC doesn't lagg for me
adzeftp.atw.hu/adze.cfg or adze.rar , cant remember
So m playing with win7 also I dont got any problems with it
Just wanted to say

gl with your problem
