BF2S Forums I have a decent system yet I cannont get more than 30 fps!!! Help!

It will almost certainly be your Graphics card. I had 3 xfx 7800 gs xt cards before i got what i paid for. They had problems with the graphics chip from the start if you go to the XFX website you can RMA the card. they were great with me. if you still have the box look what version it is near the S/N if it 1.0 ,1.1 or 1.2 then that will be your problem, Hope this helps

Sometimes turning your AGP speed down to 4x can help.

Hope this helps.

Also try this thread by badhq. Some good tips in there.

Just about to what i was gona say lol

Hmm,too bad that the human eye can only see 16 fps...

I really don't see the importance of the tech hysteria,as long as the game runs fine it's ok with me.
Anybody here who can seriously see a difference between 30 fps and 55 fps??

Why the fuck would you buy a 7800 with an AGP connection? That's the biggest waste of money ever. Nub.

I have all my settings to application Controlled.  I turned off Vertical Sync. See if that works.

As for the joker with the nub comment (By the way its NOOB) NOOB!!  If you dont have anything productive to say then just keep on going. Don't flame my post for no reason.

AGP  holds a much larger market share of gaming rigs today than PCI-EX.

NOOB.

i thought the human eye caps at 27fps? hence why movies are normally 30fps.

You *might* want to consult google, wikipedia or other resources before you make comments. Movies are filed at 24 fps because that is just fast enough to fool the eye when the image is rapidly switched across a field of vision. On a digital display, where individual bits change rather than an entire frame across the field of vision, you have a completely different perception field.

Now, if you had said something like fps cannot exceed the refresh rate of the monitor (for CRTs), then it would make more sense...if you have a CRT set at game default of 60Hz, you can't get fps above that scan rate. Similarly, those folks who have LCDs and think that they are getting 300 fps should do that math...even the best LCDs aren't able to handle much over 125fps (8ms * 125=1 second)...so all of you who think you're getting more than 125 fps are generally mistaken.

Not only that, but by reducing to the maximum fps that your system (card and display) can handle will find that their systems run much more smoothly as you're not using more resources than you can actually SEE...

Just a hint...

Oh, and without googling, I seem to remember that 75fps on a digital monitor is about the threshold, but I'm too lazy to search at this point.

For some reason with the nvida tool set it wont let me drop it to 4x. Where else can I drop it.

AGP mobos are generally using older technology (they will soon stop being made), and can't support 2 cards in SLI. You will have to upgrade your videocard to get better FPS when new games role around instead of buying another 7800.

BUT not everyone can afford that, nor can they afford to get a new mobo, cpu, etc etc for a PCI-Express setup so.. to save money buy the BEST agp card out there which he's done.. end of story!

also dropping ur agp speed to 4x is an old trick which worked with the old ATi cards like the 96's and the 98's on some older systems, i doubt that will help much tbh, it's a setting i believe you can change in the bios if you want to try it.
