heavy fps drops @ radeon 9800 pro

[Che]

hi guys,

i got a new gfx card and i am hardly able to play et anymore.

my sys :

win xp pro @ sp 2
athlon xp 2600+
1024 MB DDR Ram
Sapphire Atlantis 9800 pro @ newest Omega Drivers

I just made my system new and checked it for spyware etc. But nothing eliminated the fps drops. I also tried many different gfx drivers like the newest Catalyst drivers, older Catalyst Drivers and older Omega Drivers.

I benchmarked my System with 3dmark03 and got 5600 points which is quite normal for systems like mine.

Even different cfgs ( origin cfg, high-detailed, low-detailed etc...) didnt help me out.

I would appreciate it, if u guys could help me out.




at different spots on the map i even get fps < 30

r_ext_compiled_vertex_array 1

install your latest bios/firmware/soundcard or anything that can be updated .

And yes, I will say it again.

IAM2WEAK4U should learn english and stop spamming. (I appreciate the fact that you do -sometimes- help people out. But still, people have to translate your message to normal english.)

First: do you also have this problem with XP(SP1) ?
And what is the rate of your AGP port? You can check that with "cpu-z" (while you are on it, take a screenie of all tabs and post the links)

And now for the non-constuctive part: what shades are you using ?

[skillzilla]

uninstall old video card drivers

Slower plz.

AGP is set to 8x. In BIOS and in the driver settings as well.
BIOS and everything else is cutting-edge.

I tried Service Pack 1, none Service PAck and now Service PAck 2.

The results of cpu-z can be found in the following link

do you have nforce chipset?
if yes try a update or a downgrade.
a freind of mine had this a while ago.
After updating the nforce he had worse fps some time.

grading down back to his old one did the job.

mmmkkaaay....
What about other games, none-q3 engine based that is ?
(I know it's blasphemy, but concider it test-case only )
