Gforce 8800GT & ET

I've just gotten it today so i installed it & all drivers.
I start testing games ... gues what
The most stupid & simple game of all is the only one that can't handle my pro card : ET :(
Since the card is brandnew i don't think there are any drivers so what could i do ?

the problem: ever second fps drops from 600 to 29 , even the sound bugs every second.
( My crosshair went from white to a dirty black if that might help recognising the problem)

please help

you should get 1337 fps @ ET ;>
give it to me!
Solution is below this line:

It works for me
you should buy

and it should work fine!!
It uses more power , can your PSU handle it ?
give it to me!
i think this is not caused by your gfxcard ;)
installed newest drivers from nvidia.com or whatever their site is or did you instal the older drivers from the CD?

opyions you have:
1) try other drivers
2) format c:\
3) reinstal ET (can help sometimes)
4) buy hacks so you don't need good fps to own
5) chipset drivers, but mostly they are not the problem with graphic cards
6) PSU can't handle the power it needs
i have installed them from cd

1. good option
2. not rly
3. maybe but i don't think that will help
4. don't have money
5. farfetched
6. it does cod4 at 600fps on high , so i don't think et should cause a problem :)

i know rofl - im asking what W he has xD
Parent
That wouldn't matter since he can run COD4 smoothly too.
Parent
I blame Sol.
Parent
good idea, 2nd that xD
Parent
2 bad cpu imo
Post spec of your PC....?

I would guess that it would be the PSU from what i can gather..


CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
HD: 2x 250 GB Seagate 1 x 160 GB Seagate 1x 320GB WD
Monitor: BenQ FP91V+ 19" 6ms GTG
Keyboard: Logitech Media Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech G5 & Logitech MX518
Mousepad: Steelpad S&S & Steelpad QcK+ & Rantopad
Sound: not specified
Graphics: ATI Radeon X850XT Pro Vivo
Memory: 4GB Kingston DDR2
O/S: Windows XP Home
Headset: Icemat Siberia Black
Connection: Telenet shitcable
but why would i only bug ET , and not with cod4 :s
Parent
Config..?

Try capping it @ 125 or something :\?
Parent
capped at 85fps it still does the same :( @ mAus cfg
Parent
Loel wtf!

use mystics?
Parent
prolly coz it's a q3 game, ever since I installed new nvidia drivers all my q3engine games run crappy / buggy / not at all.
Parent
so if it's the same as ur problem i won't be able to do anything about it ? :s
Parent
guess not, well, not if you also want to run the newest games smoothly :/

nvidia drivers are crap :/
Parent
minimize ET and take a look at your process information (ctrl alt del). Order by CPU%. Which process is taking most CPU?

Maybe new drivers can fix the problem
I got the same problems, only with Enemy Territory, and RTCW. CS : Source, COD4, and ET:QW working perfectly with high graphics options (Crysis also, but poor FPS, average of 25).

I think there's nothing to do with, i can play ET only if i close/launch the game few times.
Ok nevermind my previous comments, it's prolly PB screwing you up. I have the same, and it's exactly the same as snapeuh described. It can indeed help resetting the game a few times, and you can also try putting the game on multicore as soon as you're ingame (not spectator, but really when joined a team, otherwise it'll reset again).

youre in dipshit
I've experienced the same problem. I think it's caused by the dual core CPU. Most of the times it's fixed by manually applying both processors on ET.exe in taskmanager (ctrl alt delete, right mousebutton on ET.exe)
I don't think it can be caused by the dual core , since i had to wait for my graka they send the motherboard+cpu+memory in advance

i've had the dual core for about 2 months now and i never had problems with it ... till i installed this nvidia shit :(

STAY WITH RADEON KIDS

"the problem: ever second fps drops from 600 to 29 , even the sound bugs every second."

let's take a one zero away... so drops from 60 to 20 sounds better.
Now somebody has an idea how it feels to play with this PC...
btw dude... i have had that always :b
maxfps 60 ftw
kRONE, plz, we got a 8800GT, not a poor integrated graphic chipset. Thanks anyways for your senseless answer.
Try putting affinity(dunno how to spell it) to high in ET and pnkbstrA.exe
I don't think that's the problem, because COD4 and ET:QW both need : pnkbstrA.exe & B one, and i never set them to high. And i got no problem with those 2 games.
Parent
Have you tried putting ET to high then ? I cannot even get stable 50 fps @ goldrush with specs I have without setting the affinity to high.
Parent
drivers/hardware problem or maybe the answer is so simply: lock fps? Im getting too many fps without locking it and game is just going crazy ;)
I got my FPS locked to 76 or 125 (tryed both).
