I need some info

JezusChr7st · 08-28-2001, 12:12 AM

ok, well so far the ONLY thing i can see you having a problem with would be the CPU, i would simply suggest you go out and spend $100 for a new cpu, that is if your board can handle a newer one....

simply put, you wouldnt have to spend anymore then a few hundered for a new board+cpu around a 350-40-mhz range.

16 meg video card, thats waht i have, and i run max payne fine!
64 meg might want to upgrade that a bit...but i used to run that fine too

so yeah, there

Its your Frames Per Second .

I just had my cable installed and I went to go play CS and it still lagged.. I got so mad that I almost picked my screen up and threw it out the window (true story)

I found out that it was my FPS.. now that I have a new computer. It runs excellent!

WTF is Frames per sec?

superdude · 08-30-2001, 07:57 AM

how fast or slow the game will run in a certain area. like a movie has hundreds of frames going by a second. each film cell if u will is going by relly fast to make the picture move. the higher the frames per second (FPS) then the faster it runs. the lower, the slower the game runs. the loest ive ever seen on any game is about 30 FPS cuz my cpu so dam fast! i love it!

riesep · 08-30-2001, 08:14 AM

Okay i know what FPS means but how do you guys find out what it is on a certain game?

superdude · 08-30-2001, 08:26 AM

on Unreal Tourney and Half Life, its the F7 key, for me that is. it shows all that junk at the bottom in small letters. like 12 font. hard to read sometimes but its there!
