November 26, 200520 yr Hi everyone,I'm running a system that has the following components:1. ATI X800 PRO (AGP)2. Athlon XP 3000+ (333 version)3. Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro motherboard4. Windows XP PRO w/SP25. Maxtor 120GB IDE HD6. 350 watt supply7. (2) 512MB Mushkin DDR400I have almost every panel made and my system runs okay, but not as smooth as I would like. I have the latest drivers for all, but what can I do to improve my system? What setttings should be selected in the ATI drivers? Should I adjust anything in the BIOS for memory? Any ideas?Thanks,George
November 27, 200520 yr Not enough info here! What kind of performance are you experiencing with this setup? What kind are you looking for? Are you experiencing stutter problems? What FS and graphic card settings do you have set, and are you willing to lower these settings for better performance? Also what add-ons are you using that could affect performance? With that system you should get a fairly good FPS rate. If you have any stutter issues, try to defrag your hard drive. Unless you know how, I would stay away from overclocking your cards GPU or memory, as if done wrong, you can seriously damage it. Make sure the Anti-Alias setting in FS setup is not checked. Handle any AA settings on your card. Set Anisotropic filter to atleast 8X for best picture quality. Performance hit with this setting is minimal. To reduce the blurries in youe FS9.CFG file set your Terrain section change the following fields to these valuesTERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.900000TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.500000TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=4Also increase your TERRAIN_BANDWIDTH_MULT field higher up to 400. This is a system specific field, so you'll have to do this by trial and error. Too low a number will affect loading time of scenery, to high can increase stuttering. I have mine set to 250 for a P4 3.8Ghz 2GB system. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
