134 total 128 free- very low fps (7-20) in prague near the gas tank explosion- low fps (30 - 10) throughout the entire level of map col8 (river landing zone)- in the beginning the frame rate is 30- if i go off to the right away from the squad; frame rates increase to 85 fps but lower immediately if direction is changed back towards squad- near the waterfall by the ruins the framerate jumps around between 25-10- near the helis the frame rate is very low- could the processors external clock speed have any thing to do with it? the newer MB's have bus speeds of 400- 533mhz- maybe the folks with P4's or fast AMD's but with lower bus speeds (mine is 100mhz) are having the problems- just a thought- hope we figure this out soon-

I have a motherboard which came with my COMPAQ Presario Desktop.  I've got a Gefroce3ti200 and get an average of 40 fps, lowest is in Prague with around 15.  Anyways, I have a bios which seemingly limits what I can do, and I see no option or anything that even relates to AGP.  Can anyone give me any suggestion as to how I would check my appeture size and/or change it?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes it's a geforce3ti200 video card, and it fits directly into my apg slot.

i install the updated chipset driver (mboard)
and i got 0 agpmem again....
my agp aperture is 128 megs in bios...?
can you help me on this one??

Bizart - that's a very good question to which there is no easy answer.

Can you give me details of your mobo and chipset and I'll try to work it out with their tech guys.

BIG QUESTION

is this a problem only with users with NVIDIA  
GEFORCE @ TI owners ..

i must say the game  runs alot  better on my other system .. geforce 2 gts  64 meg card in it ..  what sucks is i want to run the game with  my newer system   .. it has the same identical motherboard /bios and all in it .. but it also has a 128 meg geforce 3 ti 200 in   it  ..why would the game run faster on an older generation vid card  .. with half the  vid memory on the card ?

then on a nearly identical system  with a new 128 meg card in it ..

i just got e mail from keith sayin WOW your renderer is getting abused ..    and he  pointed me back to this topic ..  thanks frfo tryin to help Keith  but   i posted in this thred last night .. and yes  i have a decent  showing with the  AGP test utility      

please see my numbers in the first e mail i sent as well as the  ones in the post i made    last night in this thred ..

i have no problems with any  of my other games  at all ..could it be the game needs to be optimized for this geforce 3 ti 200 series  card ..this 128 meg card flys with everything else ..

also keith i can send you a screen shot doing exactly as you told me earlier to try .. from that other system .. it has  the following confiration

p 3 933
same motherboard   in the e mail i sent ..  but it does have a bit more ram ..  still 256 should be enough for single player ..

vid card is an abit siluro geforce 2 gts 64 meg ddr card (dude it's two freakin years old too)
thaTS USEING  THE DETONATOR DRIVER VERSION 23.11 STILL I BELIVE .. and the frame rates are  at least triple what you saw in the screens i sent ya from the system that has the geforce 3 ti 200  128 meg card installed in it ..and that vid card  i just got last week .. i know it's not two years old ..

Wid - can you humour me and swap around the RAM in your machines?

It's a pain and a long shot, but it would eliminate one possibility.
