Run JK defrag (google for it), update every driver, disable all uneccesary services, run as administrator and make sure u have xfire off while playing :}

jkdefrag is good but imo the new defragger of iobit is slightly better

doesn't matter , there isn't that much difference , but smartdefrag has a couple of features more , when it comes to performance it's basicaly the same :)

Bad idea beings that if the PC came with Vista you may have a hard time finding drivers for some of the hardware that'll work properly under XP
▼
panics 12 Sep 2008, 19:35
yeah i had that problem and to add to this if you have a usb stick just put the drivers on before you format ^^

Run ET as administrator ...

/pb_system 0
/pb_sleep 500

crabje 12 Sep 2008, 20:14
yeh i know about the administor part, what are those commands doing?
Parent
▼
Quazz 12 Sep 2008, 20:35
They lower the scan frequency of pb , which can for some people give +30 fps or stabilize fps

start fraps, then et

I had that fps problem only with etpro on my old pc but fraps helped me :D
▼
crabje 12 Sep 2008, 20:36
wtf is fraps ?

Quazz 12 Sep 2008, 20:38
For some people (not everyone) it gives an fps boost in game

you only need the yellow fpscounter enabled , rest can be disabled


it's generally software to record scenes with , but for some strange reason it gives an fps boost for some people when the fps counter is on

use version 2.7.4 though , any newer is most likely to make ET crash
