Have problem (GF3 Ti 500)

It's not like I want to be of any help, but there's something called "troubleshooting forum", perhaps you find a sollution there. Plus that's the place to post such topics..

I hope you're using OGL & S3TC. Anyways, here's my fave tweak prog, <a href="http://guru3d.com/rivatuner/">riva tuner</a>.

Dude your whining about 75 FPS? I can barely get fuc<b></b>king 20 FPS...

You wouldn't be pissed if you got a better processor yet got worse fps? Keep this in perspective, NTKB.

Give us more specs of your system. I assume you tried the obvious stuff: turn off vsynch in the control panel?

Heh you can't tell the difference over 60 fps, I'd concentrate on making other games run smoothly

I think rgreene is right check if vsync is enabled in the drivers panel and in the infiltration.ini.

Have they actually ever figured out what the eye can see at?

No I wouldnt if all my other crap ran faster. From what it appears he mentioned just INF running "slower" hence it is pointless to complain. Besides 75 FPS is almost as much as his refrsh rate! You cant even see a difference beyond your refresh rate since the FPS dont display past that max.

Now if he noticed lesser performance overall with everything I would say he has a defective proc and needs to exchange it. Or download the latest chipset drivers, that might help

The human eye on monitors cannot tell any real difference over 200fps I believe.

That figure for TVs (console games) is 75+.

If your motherboard uses a VIA chipset, I'd recommend getting the latest drivers from VIA's website (4in1s). It's hard to increase the performance of somebody's machine remotely, but I can tell you that that score is much lower than it should be, something is quite obviously not right. Try running another app like 3dMark and tell us your score. You can also try posting to www.amdmb.com, they tend to be pretty knowledgeable over at that forum and can help you solve most any problem with your Athlon system.

As for the argument about FPS and the human eye. You guys are comparing apples and oranges. Yes, the eye can't really discern anything over the mid to high twenty FPS, however that doesn't mean that having 100FPS is lost information. This is the same principle that movie cameras work. The "framerate" which they run at is similar to the human eye -- yet the motion captured by them seems very fluid and lifelike -- and that is because the camera leaves the shutter open for the right amount of time. This amalgomated image is how our brain is able to see the world as continuous. This extends to video games as well. If you are running at 100FPS then you will see many of these frames "at once" making the game easier for your brain to spatially understand. (my last job was programming graphical test cases at the dept. of physcology vision lab at University of California, Irvine)

IRQ conflict ?

I take it you had to upgrade the mobo too?

Let us know everything which changed and we may have a better idea as to which of them caused the problem.

@ NikonStudios

Is that Inf pic with or without a displayed weapon.

lol I noticed I run at about the same FPS with my poor old T-bird 1100 Mhz and V5 5000, I checked the same area in EP and i got around 95-115 fps in that spot.
Can't wait to get that XP1700+ and blow the GeFarces out of the water

Hmm,

I guess my only suggestion is the usual: get latest drivers for mobo, gfx, sound etc.

Check for IRQ conflicts. (Do you know how to do that?)

Remember, if you have vsync on your fps won't go higher then your monitors refresh rate.
