recurrent FPS lag

by necubi • 6 Apr 2007, 13:54 • Journals
Hello mates,
I've got a very serious problem in ET:
It is lagging like every 3rd second and my FPS go down to 20 if I just walk ahead.
I never really had stable fps but ET didn't lag periodically aswell.

PC specifications
CPU: P4 3.2 GHz
MB: MSI 865PE Neo2-PS (MS-6728 v2.0)
GFX: GeForce 6800 LE 128 MB
RAM: 2048 MB
OS: WinXP 32bit

MY ET CONFIG

I have already tried fixing the problem by reinstalling ET and using defragmentation.
Additionally I've already checked for virusses several times but that didn't help neither.

Hope you can help me... :<
Thank you in advance.

what about pc cooling? is your videocard too hot? do you have rivatuner running while playing? (if so: turn it off, fixed lags for me).

its better to have your bios on default settings all the time :) unless you really know what you are doing

rivatuner is basically a tweaking program which can be used for overclocking, opengl hacking etc.
its also a device to measure your gfx card temp

Well on Nvidia card theres the tempetature included on the nvidia software.

Nvidia control panel > 3D parameters > On "performances" > temperature level of the card/monitor =]

might be worth a try to check if you have microsoft update enabled (not windows update) i had a similar prob it was eating my cpu even when it wasnt updating anything, fps went from usual 125 down to 30s,

temps are similar to mine.
i have similar specs to you and get 125fps on most maps,
