Less-Than-Shite Performance
major:
well... yeah. Not sure what to say. Think this computer has seen its days. But hey look on the bright side, you only need to spend like ~$450 to get a very nice computer :)
Rodney 1.666:
Yeah, Saint and I pretty much gave up on ever finding the chipset driver, so I went ahead with the with the rest of them.
Same old shit, no improvement.
He tells me that Source is dependent entirely on clock speed, and that that is probably why I'm seeing shit frames, and I would likely see much better speeds in other games. That makes sense being that mine is a 2.2 GHz.
That being said, I guess I'll return this GFX card (keeping the PSU) and bide my time for a new setup, and get it right next time.
Thanks to all for trying, anyway.
kraid:
If original valve games such as TF2 are running faster on your PC, it might be because of the multicore support.
But even 2.2GHz should be enough to run Source on a half way decent framerate.
My CPU is a AMD Athlon X2 5200EE (2.6 GHz) and source is running smooth on it even on high settings.
While you cannot enable multicore for mods, you're still able to assign the HL2.exe to a certain core.
That way your main processor doesn't need to run the OS, FW, Anti-virus etc. and the game at the same time. Not sure if this will solve your problem but it's worth a try IMO.

Agreed.
The mobo is old enough so that Asus dropped it from the product listing on their website - this also makes it hard for you to find drivers / support for your hardware; (their evil, capitalist way of telling you that you should just spend more money buying their stuff. :P)
Since you already have a great video card, you could just get a bare-bones kit from newegg, throw some RAM in and a hard drive and you've got yourself a pretty decent machine.
Hope you get everything figured out.

QFT! bro
Never flash a bios, UNLESS its mandatory!! I flashed a printer nand and after it said Flashed completed, it fucked up. Just turns on and off (loops)
