:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Hey guys,
Im not overly happy with the perfomance im getting from my computer. I had it built a few months ago and it contains,
e6600
2gb ddr2 800mhz 4-4-4-12
8800gtx
Asus P5N32E Sli Plus
Xfi Xtremegamer soundcard
Silverstone 750W PSU
Vista premium 32 bit
22inch Viewsonic vx2235wm
Thermaltake armor black case
Anyhows im a massive call of duty 2 player. We have been playing for years now and i need my pc to be running smoothly to play well in scrims etc. For first 3mths i had my fps capped at 200 and i get 80-100 ping (best i can manage with my net speed and location). My issues that im having is that in cod2 your fps shows as x fps (a-b, c). X is your current fps, i think a and b are like upper and lower limits and im told c is choke (quality of fps and should be 0 or 1). Anyhow ive noticed that "a" my lower fps have took massive cuts of late going under 100 and even 60. Also my choke (c) is showing more and more 2s and 3s. I get choppy gameplay and it aint smooth when i shoot. I run in dx7 and with my graphic card i should manage 200fps easy (i used to get 90-125 outta my palit x700). What could be stuffing up my performance
This is what ive considered.
1) Defrag harddrive - didnt need to be done said performance was good
2) Ran spybot and adware on pc and came up clean
3) Ran avg free version antivirus and came up clean
4) Checked lagometer on cod2 and its normal (no spikes)
5) One strange thing i have noticed is that when i play bf2 and bf2142 (had em for years and only play occasionly). When i load both games a red line appears down left and upper border of my monitor (the backlight). This is a millimeter if that and persists in intro until game loads menu then it disappears. Then i load a level and a dull green appears on top left of upper border of monitor (its only visible when map is loading not in game or any other time pc is on). Final strange thing is if i press ` to load console in game and change fps etc the writing is blurred in the console. All of these problems occur in both games and only these two games. Not in console or loading for css, quake wars demo or any of other 10 or so games i have.
Is my monitor stuffed (i must admit its abit of a budget monitor u get what u pay for) its never been a crisp clear image like my old philips but its near enough (PS i thought of trying another monitor on pc but blue cable wont connect to graphic card slot) Need white one.
Could it just be all the stuff i have on my pc now. 150gb of files. Ive considered formating my pc but i dont know how. Like when to install bios, OS and other files etc etc. I wouldnt mind a fresh install when SP1 comes out.
Only other thing i can think is my crappy keyboard with number "FIVE" which dont work. Or perhaps ive damaged a cable/pin (maybe white one between monitor and graphic card) but im not sure.
Plz help me get to bottom of this. I ramble sorry ta for reading to this point
