I used search function and could not find anything that could really solve my question. Remember how 9800XT was the card of choice for HL2? And that in E3 2003 they used a 9800XT to play? (it seemed like they played on all high settings and getting no slowdown) Well, I have the same system specs they had, a P4 3.2, 1 gig a ram, and a Radeon 9800XT, in CS:S with all settings maxed, AA none, Trilinear Filtering, I get like 40-50 FPS and usually drop below 30 a lot. How will HL2 perform with all settings maxed out on this system?
I mean I cant see why I would perform worse than they did at E3 2003 and I think 2004, I cant see why I only get 40-50 FPS in CS:S either, and HL2 will be a lot more graphically advanced and my FPS will probably be 20 with those settings, who else thinks this, and how the bleeping bleep should I fix this?
I mean I have no alternate programs open, and I dont know about the rest, Oh and the game doesnt support 5.1 Surround sound for SB sound cards, how do I fix all these problems ahead of time so that I can get the full HL2 experience on such a (i admit) high end system, I know that my comp should be performing better with even more of those settings higher, its so messed up.
Any tips anyone? Also who else has this low fps on high end system issue? Im not very good with computers so I need simple language, telling me to download catalyst means nothing cause I dont know what that is, where to get it or anything lol. Help would be great guys, thank you very very much if you reply.
