Hi there all,
Most of you know me as dBx | Vitrolic. I play Call Of Duty 4 Online competitively.
You also probably know if you've played with me that I tend to complain about my pc.
The other day I decided find out exactly what was inside there.
CPU : Intel Celeron D 2.4Ghz
RAM : 768Mb RAM DDR2 533, Unbranded Generic (1x512Mb + 1x256Mb)
Graphics : Chaintech Nvidia Geforce 7300GT AGP (Its an AGP Mobo)
Mobo : Foxconn P4M800P7MB
Standard Beige AOpen Case with 250W Aopen PSU
Line : 384k Telkom
Average Ping : +-45ms
First of all thanks for reading this. I play on 640x480 resolution.
On a map like vacant, inside the office, I easily get an FPS of about 110fps.
This is great, and totally playable.
However on a map like backlot, when im outside its not uncommon for me to get about 17 or 18 fps, which is virtually unplayable and very frustrating.
I've tried to use the yitch2 and yitch3 configs, both of which gave me terrible lag, LOWER fps and constant lag spikes, even when i tweaked the maxpackets, maxfps and rates several times. I can't tell u how many times I've tried to get them working.
At the moment I'm using Dignitas Raz's config, with maxpackets set to 100, max fps 125 and a rate of 8000. After EXTENSIVE testing I found this gives me the most stable fps and ping. Also I found that my sniper shots seem to register the most with these settings.
Basically, I'm getting a new pc at the end of the year (woot!). At the moment I've got R800 which I want to spend on trying to get decent performance on my pc that gives me a more constant fps even in more detailed areas.
The obvious answer to me seems to be to get more RAM. But will having 1024Mb DDR2 533Mhz + 512Mb DDR2 533Mhz instead of my current setup really make a big difference in performance?
I have also thought about dual=booting with Tiny XP : Beast Edition (A version of XP trimmed down to the bear necessities to maximize performance on slow pc's. )
Rebel if you're reading this please can you reply here about whether you have hosted this on newshost, thanks alot man.
Finally, please can no-one reply with comments like get a job etc.
So please can you reccomend the best config, the best upgrade I can get for R800 and also what I should put my maxfps, maxpackets, packetdup and rate to.
Thanks so much in advance for your time,
Stephen (Vitro)
