Speed issues

[Duncan]

I've been running the game on a Radeon 9800pro 256 card with a Duron 1300 processor. Average fps was about 30-40.

Changing the graphics settings didn't make much difference, nor did changing resolution, so I assumed it was my processor that was holding the fps back (presumably it's calculating the physics & ai).

I aquired an Athlon xp 2000 processor, thinking it would up my fps.
It does, but hardly (average 30 fps).

I'm not running anything in the background- no spyware, viruscheckers or other apps.

Are there any tweaks I can use to up my fps?

Ensure that fps_max is set to something like 500, just to ensure it's not that blocking it.

Also, I don't know if it helps at all, but I have a similar framerate on a 9800 NON pro 128mb, 768MB RAM and P4 2.66GHz.

How much RAM do you have?

How much RAM do you have?

768MB RAM, Win 2K sp4

framerate drops to single figures in some of the larger/busy maps

I have been having problems with my Radeon 9800Se myself. The framerate is not as good as my old Geforce4MX440
