I have a major problem and I cannot figure out why.
Specifications:
CPU: Intel 3.0 Ghz HT
RAM: Patriot 4X512 Mb
HD: 2X200 Gb Maxtor PATA
OS: Windows Media Center 2005
VIDEO: nVidia FX5500 or 6600GT
MODEL: Sony VAIO PCV-RZCG
I have tried setting up the 2 video cards listed in this desktop and another one, which I built with an Intel MB for comparison.
When I run BF2 I get a fixed 15 FPS, the way I mesure the fps is with the following command: "renderer.drawfps 1" in the game console. The fps is fixed it never goes up or down no matter what I do and the game it is extremelly slow.
With a similar configuration on the Intel MB I get normal behavior, fps dependent on the video card as well as the map loaded or the game action and is in average above 30fps.
I have tried several versions of nVidia drivers both for WinMCE or WinXP with the same results. Even if I overclock the video cards I am always stuck on 15fps.
This does not make any sense.
It appears to be a some sort of limitation by either nVidia drivers in WinMCE or even with WinMCE itself.
I have no reason to suspect any installation problems or inteferance from other programs since I tried disabling just about all of them; the only difference it appears to be the OS.
Any toughts? :knock:
