Less-Than-Shite Performance

Rodney 1.666:
Mkay, so I've been asking people for their thoughts on my issue and the consensus is "Make a thread on the forum", so here we are.

The problem is that my frames in GE:S are far less than optimal given my hardware specs. Now then:

Specs:

Motherboard: M2N68-LA, Narra 3

Processor: AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core 2.20 GHz
Graphics: Asus NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
Asus NVIDIA GeForce 460 Top
700 MHz, "Overclocked", 768 MB GDDR5, DirectX 11 support, NVIDIA SLI
RAM: 4.00 GB
System type: Windows 7 Home 64-bit
Native monitor resolution: 1920 x 1200, 16:10

GE:S BETA 4 video settings:

Resolution:    1280x800
Models: Medium High
Textures: Medium Very high
Shader detail: Low High
Water detail: Simple reflections Reflect all
Shadow detail: Low High
Colour Correction: Disabled Enabled
Anti-aliasing: None
Filtering mode: Trilinear
Wait for vertical sync: Disabled
Motion Blur: Disabled
High Dynamic Range: Full (if available)

Frames: ...

Lucky to have 50 in a map like Control, when I'm by myself.


So yeah... I'm open to suggestions. I do maintenance like registry cleanups and whatnot on a regular basis. (TuneUp is badass.)
I just want a boost is all...

Well, something obviously is wrong my specs are:

* Intel Celeron D 2.66GHz
* 512MB DDR Ram 800MHz
* ATI Radeon 9250 128MB
I play using all of your settings except I use high textures and I get around 55fps on Control.

make sure you're getting adequate airflow and check to see if your fans have dust caked on them and your heatsink dosent look like http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p101/uzumaki_arashi_album/DSC01720.jpg

Also post what your temperatures are under load, I use a program called SpeedFan that you can get Here

Enzo.Matrix:
FYI

Q6700
8GB RAM
Win 7 Pro x64
XFX ATI 5970

1920x1200 with every setting on max and vsync disabled I get 115fps idle in control standing on the top floor looking towards the screen.

Do note I am actually playing at fullscreen but in a window (because I use multimonitors it saves alt-tabbing out)
Here are my game launch options:
-novid -noborder -console -sw -w 1920 -h 1200

major:
This isn't very helpful, but my laptop gets better performance.

Core2duo 1.7Ghz
4GB Ram
Geforce 210M

About all High settings, some medium.


As Proxie said, check your temperatures, and computer for dust.

Make sure you have the latest Drivers.

How is your performance in other games?

Try GE:S with the explosion particals off (Multiplayer > Advanced I believe).

Also think about dumping your Graphics card soon, its going to keep you down.

Mangley:
Specs:

Processor: AMD 64 X2 5200+
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
RAM: 3.00 GB
System type: Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3

GE:S BETA 4 video settings:

Resolution: 1024x768
Models: High
Textures: Very High
Shader detail: High
Water detail: Full Reflections
Shadow detail: High
Colour Correction: Enabled
Anti-aliasing: 4x MSAA
Filtering mode: 4x Anisotropic
Wait for vertical sync: Disabled
Motion Blur: Enabled
High Dynamic Range: Full (if available)

I get an average of around 90 fps on control.

I wish I could be more helpful, with the settings you use I think you should be fine with your graphics card.. I believe the 8500 GT is more of a mid-range card of the GeForce 8 series.. the high end ones are 8600 and 8800 and the pissweak ones are 8300 and 8400.
