FPS Problems

You meet the requirements right? http://crossfire.z8games.com/support_start_game_sys_req.aspx

If you do. Maybe your computer is overheating.

If not. Does your computer have too many programs running?

My computer has 1GB and a simple 50 euro graphics card and I get over 100 on 8v8s.

what is your processor? cause that plays a big part in fps

I have 1GB Ram, Geforce 6200 256 MB vid card. Get something near 30 in a 8v8. What's your operating system?

I nearly meet the "Recommended Requirements", cept the graphics card. :P

It sounds like its your processor. CF is a VERY cpu dependant game. My old pc had 1gb of ram and an ATI X300 Which is older than yours and I got 30-40fps in 8v8's when chat was spammed and smokes were goin off. I'd get your CPU looked at before buying a GPU or more RAM.

Here this is my guide for FPS. Read it all, and actually READ it.

It isnt a cpu issue. My desktop's cpu is a pentium 4 3.2ghz and my laptop is a pentium D 2.0ghz and I've the same ping while playing.

Not really.

nope, for some reason the CPU affects CF's FPS a lot

I cannot get the program to work srry but i checked the card and it is a NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 now does that meet the requirment for good FPS over 60

you should think about replacing your video card cause the one you got is way too old.

lol at my 3 straight posts

My specs:

CPU: Intel(R) Core I-7 930
CPU Speed: OC'd 3.23
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 Kingston
Video Card: Nvida GTX 285
Monitor: Alienware OptX AW2210 21.5" LCD Gaming Monitor
Sound Card: Realtek High Definition Audio
CrossFire FPS Rate: 40-150 (Not sure I don't typically watch this because I dont have problems with it)

Now, let's take everything into account. Crossfire uses an old engine (Lithtech Jupiter EX). That being said you could have a high performance gaming rig and CrossFire is limited on FPS because it's engine can only do so much. One thing you have to take into account is that if there is alot of gunfire, grenades, and people on your screen. The engine is going to lag itself and cause your fps to drop. No matter what system you have, it can only display what it is given to display.
You could most likely buy an E-Machines computer from Wal-Mart that could play this game at 40 fps.
As a matter of fact I built my sons personal pc using an E-Machine. I spent $50 upgrading his processor from an Intel Celeron E1200 (1.6ghz Dual) to an Intel Celeron E1500 (2.2ghz Dual, OC'd to 2.74) . Another $50 on a BFG 450W PSU. I already had a Nvidia GeForce 9800GT GPU laying around so I slapped that in there. And waalaaa a poor man's little gaming rig. He gets anywhere from 40-110 fps. It doesn't take a supercomputer to play this game.
Always note that your fps is limited to the game's engine that you are playing. Don't listen to the lies from people who tell you they never drop below 150 fps on this game because I am here to tell you that they do. Because CrossFire's engine itself gets overloaded and it itself drops the frame rate.
