system specs:
P4 1.6ghz dinosaur
512mb pc2700 DDR
Sapphire Radeon 9550 256mb
20GB hdd <--- due to previous HDD failiure
Win XP SP2 inc
------------------
Before i express the problem, a hardware upgrade is out of the question at the moment...
------------------
well here we go..
i play cs:source, mohaa spearhead and BF2 but i get really low fps, unbareable sometimes,
i get about 30-40 in mohaa, settings default, but it's still bad considering i used to play mohaa on this system (Geforce 440mx in the past) with 60-80 fps in the past,
i get about 10-15 fps in cs:source, all settings on low, no aa/af, HDR off, which is what the game defaults to when i installed it, which in my experience is bad, very bad concidering i play competitively for a clan and this impacts my gaming quality and i die at critical moments most of the time (When theres lots of polygon registering and gun fire) also i used to get a good fps when using my geforce 4 for this game too.
i get about 10 - 20 fps in BF2, all settings low, no aa/af which doesnt bother me much as i know my system can't handle this game well anyway
i've used a range of display drivers (ATi Catylyst 5.0 through 6.3), and overclocking tools (RivaTuner). i have set everything back to default and am using the 5.13 driver at the moment as that seems to run the games the best.
i've even used console commands in cs:source to set EVERYTHING to low, and turn anything un-necessary off, this usually raises my fps by a mere 1-3 points.
would upgrading my bios be a good thing to do, i know it's outdated (year 2002) I'm not sure unless i had someone next to me walking me through it as i have no idea how to use DOS.
can anyone help me with this problem,
any help is greatly appreciated,
if someone wouldnt mind donating an ultimate gaming rig to me i'd be much abliged to take it off thier hands /jk
---------EDIT----------
i have just recieved the latest BIOS for my motherboard in an email from the maufacturer but i don't know how to apply it to my motherboard.
