framerates 9800 pro

***Puget*** · April 20th, 2004

Hey ive got an upgrade from an nvidia fx 5200 to an ati 9800 pro. It really did make a difference. I can really run cod at 1280 with everything pretty muched set up to highest. When i play during a lan game just by myself i get constant 91 fps but then online they sometimes go down round 70s sometimes 60s and ive even gotten to 50s. I wonder if getting to 50s with 9800 pro with a high resolution is normal or is there something wrong with it. I also want to know if a shitty ass connection will make your framerates change constantly if you have an unconsistant ping. If you have the same vid card please tell me about your cod performance with it. I just want to know if it is performing alright.

Well im on dial up and have shitty 128mb RAm and highest fps i get is 30, normally round 15-20. (Yes i know new comp time, buying soon)
So consider yourselgfs lucky :lol:

lol 15-20 i used to get that back with my nvidia geforce fx 5200 inside the bushes in brecourt. Then i reinstalled xp and the fps went slightly a little higher. But now with my pro im so happy im just wondering if it is giving the performance it should

I have an ASUS 9800XT 256Mb and I run the game at 1600x1200 all maxed out, FSAA and AF at 4x. I`m sure you could crank it a bit more, or turn on FSAA and AF, as 9800`s are really good cards dealing with these options. Plus you get the eye candy...I sometimes reach over 200+ FPS, sometimes it goes down to below 80, but I average 100+ that`s for sure...

Cheers,

Some servers put a FPS cap on so that everybody can enjoy Average fps. If me and a friend are play SOF2, we increase the FPS to max. If a whole bunch of us are playing then we turn it down. Some games that use .con files for configuration can be tweaked. You can actually adjust the FPS window. I forgot which game I was playing ( I think UT 2003 )but, I was getting a minimum of about 160FPS a maximum of 370 ISH and an average of 200 or something ridiculus like that. I have a 9600 PRO card. Yes I always run at 1152 X 768 with near full settings on everything too.

I have a ATI 9800Pro along with an AMD64 3400+ and I am hitting an average of 200fps as well. Some maps I'll notice a drop to below 100, but just in spots and not continuously. I run at 1280x1024 (my LCD monitor native resolution).

I adjusted my configMp.cfg file to read: seta com_maxfps "200". I have an LCD with a refresh at 70..so if I set that too high I get a skip or 2...so I notched it down a bit.

I also use Omega drivers...they seem to help some as well.

I noted that you mentiond hyperthreading....if you look at the COD Technical FAQ, the game does not take advantage of this.

Isn't it like that your eyes can't see more than 30 FPS?

It`s true in cinema, because there is a motion blur effect between frames, but for gaming it`s a different thing. We discussed this a lot on Lock On forums. Some US fighter pilots seem to be able to distinguish much higher frames then we could imagine. I don`t remember how much, but it was pretty high...

Well so you all think my framerates are alright or that they should be higher than that. I still play lagless so it is not a big problem but i kind of like having a high framerate and see how well my vid card performs
