low FPS?

[kld2010]

hi i am just asking :are these FPS usual with this card (i know i have the worst card in the world so just tell me what i am asking )
in splinter cell conviction low =15FPS medium = 9FPS high = 7 FPS
in battlefield bad company 2 medium = 20/30
i think the bad company FPS is good for this card (radeon HD 4550 )
but the SCC ones are low right?

 

[kld2010]

plzzzzzzzzz somebody answerrrr

I wouldn't expect any better than that, it's a budget card. It's short on shaders, and extremely short on memory throughput.

If you enjoy gaming, you should consider an upgrade. Post back if you'd like some tips.

You are wasting your CPU power with that GPU and RAM. Grab another 2 gigs and get a solid card and you will see a HUGE performance increase.

im tryin to persuade my dad 4 the upgrade lol but the pc passes the min requirements of the game (SCC) that means it must at least it must work on low res but with the really low FPS it freezez for 10 sec every 7/10 mins
and my friend has a really lower pc that works on high without any problem so i think its a software problem
right??

I am not entirely sure I understood that.
Care to retype that with some punctuation and grammar?

I am trying to persuade my dad to upgrade (lol) but meanwhile .......... the PC passes the minimum requirements of the game (Splinter Cell Conviction) ..that means it must at least work on low graphics but with the really low FPS it also freezes for 10 seconds every 7/10 minutes on low graphics !!!
and my friend has a weaker PC that works on high graphics without any problem so i think its a software problem
right??

"did i really write what was up there?? i couldn't even understand it
sorry

 

[Lordbob75]

Much better!

Minimum requirements, or recommended requirements? One is to barely play the game on low settings, the other can run it on low settings...

You may try reinstalling graphics drives. Check in BIOS to make sure your card is regocnized.

Yes you did and neither could we

Keep in mind in that SCC is badly optimised and 'minimum requirements' are really nothing more than a guarantee that you can start the game.

Playing it is another thing entirely.

When you say your friends PC is 'weaker' - weaker in what way? Slower CPU and GPU, or does he have a slower CPU but a better GPU etc?

Anyway,

If it's software, how many process do you have running in the background?

Any A/V with resident scanners?


The pause every 10 mins or so could be the pagefile swapping memory in and out causing the HDD to 'bog down' while it does that.

 

[kld2010]

one with core 2 due and he bought the graphics card 2 years ago he doesn't know the brand (lol) but its slower
another friend with dual core and gt220 .......... not that high
also i found that i pass the recommended requirements
second i don't have anything running in background (i even close the antivirus and everything else)
i don't understand what you said after that
also i want to add that the game sometimes stays up to 15 minutes without freezing and sometimes freeze every 1 minute

thanks

 

[kld2010]

also it freezes on low settings and i have played other games like battlefield bad company 2 on medium graphics with no problem - call of duty modern warfare 2 without problems ... and drivers are properly installed

 

[Lordbob75]

Heat? Open up the side of your case and point a housefan into it. Try playing a game. Does the issue still occur?

~Lordbob

 

[kld2010]

will try

 

[kld2010]

tried it didnt work ... and the temperature of the graphics card didn't get higher than 53 C

 

[Lordbob75]

Not a heat issue then. How old is this computer?

~Lordbob

 

[kld2010]

2.5 months
why?

 

[Lordbob75]

2.5 months
why?

But this is a new computer you bought?
Odd... If it was old I was thinking something might be failing, bad paste, etc.
It is possible on a new computer, just less likely.

could be improper configuration also when you buy a pc prebuild you have to tune it to your expectations maybe you need to take the time and do a series of test on your unit to see if it can handle what you want it to do or take it to a specialist that could really tell you what you paid for

Most prebuild pc's dont have what it takes for gaming most of them are targeted for familly school work etc all depends on what you were looking for or what someone recommended to you via salepersons

When doing gaming on a pc pre builts are very expensive
and building your own would be cheaper

also the cheaper the price of a pc system basicly tells you the scale of performance you would recive if you paid anything under 500.00 i can tell you gamming might be limited

Stupid question time. Seeing as that computer has onboard video courtesy of the i3 530, is the monitor connected to the video card or one of the video ports (one each DVI, VGA, HDMI) on the motherboard?

 

[kld2010]

no its connected to the slot in the video card not the built in one also this is not a pre-built pc ... i built it and it passes the recommended requirements also as i said before ... my friends have pcs that are weaker in every thing but it works fine on high graphics ...................... how?????????????
i cant find any explanationnnnnn
