meio_maluco 1 Posted April 28, 2005 Hey, u know, i have this crazy problem, it seems that my grafic card XFX 6600 PCI-E (500/1000 Default) doesnt like reflections. Drivers tested with same problem (71.84; 71.90; 76.50 (modded)) My System: AMD64 3500 A8N SLI DELUXE (24 pin molex) PATRIOT DDR400 PC3200 512x2 LEVICOM X-Alien 500w (20 pin connector) XFX 6600GT PCI-E I tested in Tonal, Kolgujev, Nogova if the object to be reflect passes 50-100 the framerate drops to 2-9fps. If reflections are of i get around 30 fps (wich is low in tonal, should get more). It doesnt mather the place when i turn reflection the "****" happens. All this tests were made with same config of ofp, dxdll and driver settings with a friend runnig on a p4 3.0, in a 5800 video card. With same settings he gets 25 fps in tonal in the same spot i was (tatu city). Without even looking at the water just looking to the interior, the fps is barely the same, and the ofp menu is slow , mouse slow, etc. If i turn reflections off increases 40 fps more or 60 fps more but it looks its pretty unstable since when i look left or forward fps sometiems drop like 20 or more. Also turning postprocessing on and off doesnt affect my fps (strange thing but its a sign that the card is working well, i think) After many tests and drivers, i thought that it could be of the power suply. The motherboard is 24 pin and the psu is 500w 20 pin, and has good amperages(and a friend of myne says his also using only a 20 pin connecter in the 24 molex, and its working ok with his games). So runned aquamark3d and other benchs and it runs like if it was normal. i get the benches that a system like myne should get. another info: im running in a 5400rpm 10gigs harddrive (backup, main dont alow me to format it :S) 1 gig empty space. So if anyone knows whats going on please post :P And what drivers u using Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meio_maluco 1 Posted April 28, 2005 Formating pc also passed trough my mind. Because im not sure but i think i´ve tried reflections with cd drivers (64.xx) and they where working ok, but im not sure i think i have this in my idea lol. First i will listen what u guys have to tell me (if u have ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
llauma 0 Posted April 28, 2005 The drop is caused by the drivers. I have an older GF card and some newer drivers gives me a huge FPS drop. Unfortunatly you can't use the 56.72 drivers which I have. So my suggestion is to try all the available drivers and if none helps accept it or just write your own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
