7950GX2 Not enough ,please put me straight

[Bald-Eagle11]

Guys

After my initial hate of this Demo it has grown on me and ill swallow my words here im starting to like it .

Either i am doing something seriuosly wrong but i need your help here let me explain please .

My rigg:

E6600 Conroe
Asus P5B
2GB Corsair DDr2
7950Gx2
24 Inch Dell

I am playing in servers with a green ping only and my ping showing as 20-50

Now my FPS using renderer.drawfps 1 as follows

Conquest 99.9 FPS ( same as BF2 maps ) No lagg
Tiatn 50-60 FPS (ok not what i want but should be smooth enough)

All my setting are maxed out
I have tried turning everything to Medium and there is very little difference .

You ask what is wrong with that ?

Well i am getting lagg during a Titan game , boarding and running around the Titan , Using a jet or gunning on a jet as well .

Is it me or are others getting this as well ??

Please help.

what resolution are you playing at? Youre setup is optimum for something like 1600x1200 + but not 1280x1024, its just the way SLI works

[ReaperOfsouls]

Is the titan moving? If so thats why, when people start moving the titans the whole server starts to lag.

the only time i get lagged is when i run into titan first time in round and it switches minimaps and sounds change then its freezes for a second then its fine

Im not sure , what should i have it to I just flipped the drop down bar to the bottom maximum setting ?

I have also edited my command line in my target on my desktop .

Err not sure as im running round corridoors . How would i know other than keeping and eye on the Mini map ?

[rlhitman]

honestly, its probably more the server is crappy than you. Your system should easily run this game on all high settings with no problems... 75fps+. Try lower player servers and see how things run.

[=sds=god]

Anything over 20 something FPS the human eye can not tell the difference anyway. Unless your machines shows the lag, or its the server side. I honestly think this is just a slightly upgraded version to BF2. Another full version beta, that we are going to have to pay for to play. You cant use certain words or characters in game, which is plain stupid.
EA/Dice strikes again with a another BF series title, without really fixing the bugs in the previous one.

It does not matter where you are, if the titans are moving the server lags.

Only the windows server files are out right not so thats one thing, and for some reason when ever the titans start moving it puts tremendious stress on the server box and the CPU use goes to 100 %

Em dude, the human eye can distinguish over 50FPS minimum, most people can distinguish over 70, easy test is if you have a CRT monitor, open up your hand and wave it in front of your screen, if it leaves traces then you can distinguish a higher reresh rate that your monitor
Ive spent a lot of time on 20FPS on my old dell, its total **** at that speed

I also wrote a paper( ok, only for a degree, not masters ) on stereo scopic vision, which included refresh rate, so im telling the truth :)

[comfortably_numb]

I basically have the same system as you, minus a GB of RAM and I was able to pull off a 64 player server at full capacity with all the graphics settings at high and had no lag.

Yet there are some servers with 10 people on that you can't even play. It's just the servers, not you.

[lmimmfn]

its not him, its you, but if its not you it must be me, ehhhhh? im gonna sleep :)

Dude the 7950GX2 is not Sli, its a dual gpu video card.

[lmimmfn]

Its SLI believe me, thats why quad SLI has been introduced, for these boards and similar, you know SLI means parallel processing for 2 boards, which is what this board needs to do

im pretty much having the same issues as you,substantal framerate loss over bf2. im running two x1900 cards in crossfire with a conroe E6700 and it happens to me to. i had to lower my resolution to 1680x1050 and my fps is still lower than bf2 running on 1900x1200. i also turned off the enhanced lighting, that gave me back a few more fps. its not you, its the game but perhaps when new drivers come out for both ati and nvidia it will address some of the issue,or so i hope.

when you type in the command to show fps you should also unlock the fps from 100, type in:

game.lockfps 500

that will lock it at 500 so you can realy see your full framerate.

Mmmm....maybe it has something to do with an sli setup.

I'm running a X1900XTX 512Mb, AMD 3700+, 2Gb OCZ Platinum EL at a res of
1600x1200@85Hz with the settings on high.
I have yet to suffer any lag on the demo even inside the titan while it's moving.
It just sounds strange that your systems (High end) are struggling with the demo.
Do you both own 24" Dells?

Cheers.

im relay hoping its just drivers, i realy am, i think the demo messes with them because my ati catylist stopped showing all avilable AA settings after i installed it, i had to reinstall the drivers to get it back. dont get wrong its totaly playable but i do suffer the dreaded titan glitchyness once inside, it does get almost uinplayable at times but i think thats more due to the titan. im using a sony FDW-900, its a 24" widescreen CRT, the only way to go! im still hovering around 110 fps average with all the eye candy on but the thing is i would get alot better than that on bf2 with a even higher resolution with all the bells and whistles.

[DBL*T@pp]

I can understand the frown that you would get with such a nice system. Hopefully they will get this fixed for the full release or stop the titans from moving...it does seem to give people alot of probs.

Cheers.



P.S: Crt FTW:D

[xR3LOADx]

Yeah the titans were probably moving, But your setup is so nice, you should get more than 50 FPS in titan.

[nip]

umm, dont know where to start...

so here is a stab at it in random ramblings...

your system *should run it much better... granted a lot has to do with the server, but server lag and vid card lag are 2 totally different animals...

if your FPS is dropping to 50 then I would gather that something isnt right in your settings. I am running a 3.8 gig p4 oc'ed to 4.2 and water cooled... 2 gigs ram and 7900 gtx, raptor hdd and the lowest I drop to 70 fps at max settings (to include AA at x4)

if you are on titat and get skipping that is normal in certain sitiuations.. but it shouldnt affect fps ... video lag is from taxing your card/system... net/code lag is the game.

hit me up on xfire.. I have gotten my members from an unplayable status to running the game at a decent speed (xfire: brandx1)

I actually think that its 60FPS you mean.
