FarCry becomes Choppy & Stalls @ 600x800
Hello,
My other tower is slowly becoming a light gamer. But it has issues. ASUS P4B533-E Mobo P4 2.4Gig CPU 768mb PC2700 Ram 160 Gig WD Hdd ATI 128mb AGP (4x mode Mobo doesn't support 8x) Windows XP Home No Internet or LAN set-up No Anti-Virus Software to slow it down. Even with game resolution at LOWEST settings, the game becomes choppy & stalls. Only 4 TOTAL items listed in "MSCONFIG" so I don't think there's anything in the background running. I only have some DV camcorder Video editing software(Pinnacle), that's all that's loaded. Nothing has been over clocked I don't EVEN want to think about DOOM 3 yet... Thanks!

Video card is an "ATI" Radeon 128mb 9200 series.
The min. is 64mb on the FarCry box. Last edited by caesar; 08-23-2004 at 11:57 PM. |

WOW, what a difference!
My built by ATI 9200 Radeon 128mb AGP was running choppy even in the lowest modes. Visited ATI's web site and downloaded newer graphic drivers. Old driver from 7/19/03 #6.14.10.6374 (sucks) was replaced by new driver from 8/3/2004 #6.14.10.6467. I've been playing all night @ 1024x768 not one stalled frame. AWESOME! Thanks! |

You prolly had AA and AF maxed out in driver properties and the new driver install erased those settings.
