stable fps
Hi I have a random et question. So back in the 2005 when i installed ET for the first time I had a 1,2GHZ AMD Duron, 256mb sdram, and some shit 96mb graphics card and i didnt even know what fps is because i hadnt any fps related problem so i assume i had min. 76 fps because game was smooth even on big maps like mml_minastirith
in 2007 i bought another much better computer and i continued playing, then i knew already about all the cfg stuff so I had125fps without any problem. In 2010 i had exacly the same pc, the same config and even after total hard disk format i couldnt get stable 125fps, I had even problems with 76 on some bigger maps :D
Now i have a lenovo laptop with dual core 2.1ghz, 3gbs ram and some intel hd graphics (this is actually shit but compared to my first 96mb graphs it should be enough) and on open areas on radar or grush I have max 76fps :D
So the question is: how the fuck is that possible?
ET is magical :D

System requirements
600 MHz CPU
128 MB RAM
32 MB OpenGL graphics card
56.6k Modem/LAN
My oldest PC was twice better than et requirements
Maybe you had way lower resolution or smth :)
had such a shit pc and game was running so smooth, now I still have my 125 fps but I can notice some drops, I seriously ask myself how...
More core rate will you get, than higher FPS you will have (One core game)
but still 2,4 is much more than I needed to play it comfortable 7years ago when i had shit pc :D
Also unlike most mobo's it shows point of problem, say if you don't have graphics card inserted correctly, it shows a light at the problem.
Got my 2500k @ 4,5Ghz, max load 67c, did go to 4,7Ghz (just for teting) and temps max 73c
Using cooler master EVO
Thanks a lot ;)
I had in 2005 AMD 4400+ X2, 2Gb RAM, 500Gb HDD, Nvidia 7800GT - cost my parents £££££ back then, I was playing 6-7 ET's and still got a stable 125FPS on all maps. I could reach 1000-2000FPS (which is unplayable BTW, the mouse freezes :D).
I now have a 2500K @ 4.8GHz and I fail to get 125FPS on bigger maps. My graphics card exploded (well burnt lol) and I'm not with a temporary 210GT which is like £20 - so I get low FPS. A half decent card and CPU is more than enough for ET.
Get loads more in Call of Duty ...
Win7 really hit FPS :P
