u-matrox Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 hi guys, i have had mad framerate dropping when i am in games like counter-strike, other multiplayer games, ryl, etc. my friend has the same video card as me and he gets no fps drop when looking at any detailed buildings, and im sittin right next to him getting down to 20 =(....could there be some kind of software problem or something, because i know my system can easily handle these games?thanks guysmatrox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCT Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 make sure u dont have a firewall running .. that can really slow u down latest sound drivers & lan drivers & mobo drivers (find out your mobo)regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 try all of the above and if it doen't work, reinstall your (nforce) drivers and reinstall directx9c that may solve the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
