Hi,I have a laptop, pentium 4 3.2 ghz, 1 gig ram, mobility radeon 9600 64mb. In addition, I am currently using the newest Omega Drivers. For awhile i was experiencing major ingame lag with fps as low as 20, at 800X600 on lowest settings. I have been tweaking the settings on my computer for several days now and have noticed several things. First, when i have V-sync on, my FPS drop considerably, so i turned that off. Secondly, with Catalyst AI on anything but off it drops my average FPS down considerably, so i turned that off. Now my game runs well i can run it at 1280x1024, with geometry on med. and lighting on med. everything else on low. Yet I am still having some strange problems. For instance, if i look straight down at the ground, or run right up to a wall and look at it, my FPS actually drop, despite the fact that my computer only has to render a very very very very small portion of the map. In addition, when i type renderer.drawfps 1 and look around a map i normally get values of 45/29 or some value where the first number is higher than the second, yet again when i look at a wall close up, i will get values like 20/60. To me it seems like i should be running at 60fps when looking at a wall but instead i am running at 20 fps. Does anyone know of any settings, or issues on my computer that could be causing this problem??? I am very confused and have no idea why this is happening.
