Post by sinestro »

right i have had bad spikes in ren for ages now that bad i cant play on the nazi server

2 night there i said 2 my self f;';k it i set the detail up full and full res 1360*768 (was playing on 800*600 and lowest deatil)
at this setting i have very little spikes even on nazi server but did spike a bit on m11 map..

to me it sounds stupid but y is it less spikey with detail up full??

forgot 2 say on low deatil i have 20 fps unstable
but on high detail i have a steady 10-11 fps

I believe it goes like if your screen/res is small but there's alot of action going on, it's hard for your card to generate those details on such a small scale.

u know, there are video cards out there today for >$50 that can run ren at 100 fps.. I seriously don't get why some people still struggle with 20 fps on an 8 year old game.

I don't get why my laptop doesn't run it fast because I have a better graphics card than my desktop - and my desktop used to run it just fine. :x

Maybe it's just Mutation. I don't really go on any other servers...

Although, I would really not recommend spending money on a PC that doesn't even have an AGP slot nowadays... but;


http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... &CatId=319

I actually had 1 of these way back, it could pump out 100 fps np on ren.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... &CatId=319

Pretty recent card, I dont know hwo it performs, but it has more features then the 9250.



or if u wanna go crazy...

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... &CatId=319

I wouldn't waste a dime on that PC tbh but, its your decision ;)

(I would just buy a new pc though ;P)

Since my upgrade i've been kept up to good 60fps but the damn server keeps pinging random between 90 to 200, mostly 90 though but with old comps i realized reason for low fps is usualy MS Autoupdates
(svchost.exe) or Antivirus. u should check them out on task manager and i had to do same also, keep res but with me i had it 640x480 lol
