fps probs with et

by senlici0us • 14 Oct 2007, 15:36 • Forums › Technology
Right ive been having problems with running ET lately.
My pc has never been a star at running games like rtcw and et but recently things got worse.
As soon as there is some action going on it will drop to 20-30 fps.

My setup.

p4 3.2
Asus Pv88 mobo
ATI X800XT
1534mb RAM
PSU 300W

First i thought my gfx card was overheating as it was reaching temps of 60-70 degrees. But after reading the card should work fine at temps uptill 90 degrees i looked further.

Then i questioned my power supply but though not amazing it should do for this card which seems to use something around 70W

So now im looking for some ideas

A week or 2 ago i decided to format the whole thing ( it was already running poor then) after the reinstall it certainly didnt get any better.

Ive got the most recent drivers for my mobo and vidcard.

Any help and suggestions other then "quit et" would be appreciated

With those specs ET should run nicely. What PSU do you have exactly?

does not change, i can pretty much run around a map without fps drops if im alone, but when there are more people on the server, the fps just drops dramaticly
