Fps :x

My pc just got formatted by a PC shop..

Specs:

AMD 2500+
768MB ram
ATI 9800pro

I installed ET, installed ATI catalyst drivers for my graphiccard

But now when I join a public server, got fps from 25 - ... :s even in braundorf :D

drops all the time..

I play with modus config, 1024 - 768 screen resolution in windows..

What could solve my problem?

Thnx in advance

EDIT: haha funny replies "format", not retards

EDIT 2: What drivers for an ATI 9800pro are the best ones to play ET with?

Solved: Omega 2.6.71 drivers did the work..

125 fps stable for now (at least in bremen on an empty server :P)

I guess the nerd sukkel from the pc shop installed chipset drivers but no graphic drivers

SaTz gave me nice drivers (old ones) for an ATI 9800pro, who give the best performance @ ET

Sometimes it's best to use some older drivers. Atleast when I use the newest drivers I have the same result you have.
what card do you have?

can you recommand me some nice drivers for an ATI 9800pro to play ET with? thnx in advance

I have nVidia and tbh I don't know much about those videocard driver stuff, just try to google some.
Parent
That's true, happens to me all the time with linux :p

I have almost the same computer parts as you, and stable 83 @ most maps. You should try a low-fps config, set higher priority for ET and run less programs at the background. And check tutorials, there are plenty of tips about this subject..

edit: Try to set Mip Map detail level lower @ catalyst 3d options. And make sure that anistropic filtering and anti-aliasing are off.
what graphic card do you have?

I've got radeon 9600 pro..
Latest Catalyst driver might be the best one for 9800 pro.

you know any configs with those settings?
Parent
install chipset drivers
yup, what he said. Download cpu-z and run it. Look for a tab that gives you the mobo information. Next google the correct mobo drivers.
Parent
what information should i google? :p
Manufacturer and model or chipset specific?

He used windows stock drivers, which are included in ur windowsxp installation, and yeah you get 40fps with that.
