P3 800
384 MB RAM

My PC's also do that.
#1 is 750 Athlon, 256 MB Ram, SbLive! and Voodoo3
#2 is 500 PIII, 256 MB Ram, SbLive! and Voodoo3

It also gets bad in tight areas if several bots get in there with me.

I've the same probs aswell. Thats one of Angelhearts maps isnt it??? Just turn down the details to play it at a decent framerate.

FYI I've got a PIII 700 w/192 mb ram and a GeForce 256

:~)

I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I'm lucky if I can find half an hour a week in which to get funky.

Same over here...

What "rig" do you need to play at 1024x768x32 with decent framerate?????

Really, what are the system requirements for 1024?

Dosn't sound like an NVIDIA problem.....

Maybe the INF guys need to be a little more strict about poly counts?

I get a fairly large performance boost when i choose not to use INF skins. Some one mentioned earlier that the polys for the INF models are 2 sided meaning that hollow insides of the players are fully texture maped, which effictivly makes them twice as bulky as they should be.

boom
