You should be fine as long as you have over 75 FPS mate

go into your nvidia 3d options

turn off threaded optimazion or something like that

I have over 2000 fps lulz

use my cfg

buy new pc if ur fps are under 50 while playing et, srsly

-be sure you have enough space on your harddrives (i prefer over 15% / hardrive)... might cause lag.
-use spybot or/and ad-aware to clean spyware/malware from your pc... might cause lag.
-do not keep useless programs open while playing...might cause lag.
-do not use shit firewalls like zone-alarm... might cause lag.
-disable vsync and other stuff from graphic card settings and ETconfig.


Graphic card settings:

Turn off anti-aliasing.
Turn off vsync.
Turn off "Threaded optimization" is using a Nvidia Graphic card.



Possible problems in ET:

-remove useless and incomplete stuff from etmain and etpro (soundpacks, useless maps, -useless skins, everything downloaded from random publicservers etc).
-do not keep demos in etpro/demos folder. find a better place for those if you dont wanna remove those.


Cfg based:

go onto an empty ETserver or watch SAME demo while testing + type in console /r_drawfps 2 to notice easier changes in FPS.

-save your latest config to make those settings not dissapear ( in console /writeconfig <name> ).
-restart your config ( inconsole /cvar_restart ).
-then in console /vid_restart
-open your config again ( in console /exec <name_you_set> ).

....If nothing special happened:

-try to lower your resolution ( r_mode <value> i prefer 4 or 6 to keep the quality playable). Just to test first.

Some graphic commands i recommend you to try to get (maybe) better results. (DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR CONFIG WITH MY OWN SETTINGS AT FIRST... JUST TEST. so make a different file for these and then exec in console like said before)

+

seta r_mode 4 or 6
seta r_displayrefresh <highest possible with the current resolution (r_mode). also known as a refreshrate>

if nothing helped... lower your maxfps and stay at it ..like 76 or 71 etc (under it would make you braindead.

if nothing still happened to get better fps.
tomorrow. walk into a local pcstore with 2000€ and ask them to get you a REAL computer.

this is actually kinda endless list to write. hope some of these helps. i m ouf of time, but pm if you still have problems

cheers
