hey, can some1 tell me, should i put Fast Writes ON or OFF ? I have Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb, and i had this option turned to OFF on my old system, because i read somewhere that only Radeon 9600 users should put this function and also i had FPS problems in Counter-Strike, and i read in some article that i had to put fast writes in BIOS to OFF to increse the performance and so on. I had the same video card, on AthlonXP 2000+ . Now i have Athlon64 3400+ with 512 ram and EpoX mobo. And SMARTGART put fastwrites to ON automaticly. So what should i do ?
I think it is not connected to fast writes, but still, i have some problem:
on the old computer i had some fps problems in new games, how it should be, but on Counter-Strike ( in places, where fps is 100, i had problems only on some maps like aztec, etc. ) , and all other games that should run well on that machine, i had 100 fps an games ran smoothly. But now, i have more than 100 fps on every game i play, for example - CS Condition Zero, it's like 200 fps, but still the game isn't smooth, when i run forward and look at the floor, it stutters or something, i can't explain that, but it looks like i have 40 fps, but the meter shows 200+ . In Unreal Tournament 2004, when i play instant matches, the fps is also more than 150, and everything is ok, but when i play online, the fps is limited to 85 in online play, i encounter EXTREME tearing, and also this "non-smooth" problem, like in cs-cz...
I tried putting Vsync to ON, and it removed the tearing in UT, but the the problem still exists... Any ideas ?
