I got this system:
Win98SE
256sdram133
1.2ghz(266fsb)tbird
Geforce3Ti200  128ddr ram
800x600 medium details on everything(allmost)

Some times the game runs in 60fps, and some down to 8fps.
The game is cool, but my machine should run this game fine, but it don't. Then the coolnes goes down a bit.

hmmmm...would love a solution...but its not that easy is it?

I type in cg_drawfps 1 and the console, the command is accepted but the fps is not displayed.  Is there another command?  
NOTE:  The cg_drawfps works for me in the multiplayer version but not the single player.  Thanks for your help.

it's case sensitive-
cg_drawFPS 1

*deleted one long rant*

Check below, I fixed my problems.

Creston

My FPS has dipped as low as 1 and usually is no higher than 20.

I play the game on a Gateway Performance 700 PC with Intel 700MHz Pentium III Processor and 256MB. Installed are a 32MB nVidia RIVA TNT2 M64 Graphics Accelerator and a SoundBlaster Live Value with Digital Audio Output.

The game settings are at minimum resolution, and high Image\Texture quality.

I've looked over the FAQ, and even tried some of the user suggestions, although nothing seems to help.

I suggest you lower the image/texture quality to low with that system.

Thanks Kaoos, I have been trying to get that to work for weeks.  My fps range from 30 - 60 which is acceptable.  The problem is that it doesn't "feel" like 30 - 60 fps.  It still feels choppy and even gives me a headache when I play the single player.  I think that the reason it still feels choppy and slow is the "wobble" effect.  When you walk/run, the whole map "wabbles" in a sort of parabolic motion.  This is the first FPS game I have played that has this effect.  The effect does not exist in the multiplayer version.  Does anyone know if you can turn this off?  If you can, how do you do it?  Thanks

i ve found after trying all settings mixing,with geforce 3 series:
..turning fog off will provide at least 7 fps and above to 20 or more fps on some systems(isnt that weired,it supposes to elevate fps not degrade it since it alternates textures).
..turning off lens flare provide at least 4 fps.
..turning off antistorpic filtering provide at least 3 fps.
..the shadows also provide a huge boost of preformance in fps when in action,so turn it off.
..advanced texturing also provide at least 2 fps when turned off.
..bilinear settings frees also 2 fps.
the best fps and visuals i had with this settings on a sys with p3 1000 and 256 rdram and gf3 ti200 64 and win 98se and harddrive 40 7200 and sblive value sound card:
light flare disabled
res1024
fullscreen yes
texture quality high
texture filter bilinear
vertical sync on
antistorpic off
fsaa off
ui tex Q high
colors 32 bit
alias shaders off
advanced texturing off
curve subdivisions high
image ,alpha format dxt5
model detail high
shadow quality off
fog off
shell casting on
decals excessive
image.sound,model none
curve detail high
effect overdraw highest
low end machine false
gore excessive
max image quality high
sound direct sound,22,dynamic,high
 
wish u luck with this great game (that need more much development in visual preformance ratio)
