Thanks for the replies, my connection to the servers is very good 16-20ms. I'm actually the admin on the servers where i play (<a href="http://unreal.ie/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
unreal.ie</a>)
so if needs be i can try server side settings also. Most of the gaming is TAM so it tends to be DM type maps, although playing ONS on pubs with good and bad pings has no impact. Turning
on full AA and AF makes no difference, nor does turning all the
settings to low, it still behaves in the same fashion. I generally play
at 1280*1024 with a fov of 97 but again even playing 1024*768 has had
no noticeable impact. <br> I'll give the latest beta drivers a go to see if it helps but i'm currently on the latest drivers and generally keep up to date with them in case it might help. One of the others with the same problem is running on a 7800GT and our
fps are very comparable when we play together, so much so that if its driver specific then i would think its some general setting for all
nvidia drivers. We have similar pings but different isp's, and we also use different distros, namely gentoo and ubuntu. <br> All I'm really trying to accomplish here is to get it to stay somewhat stable a fluctuation. A few fps either way wouldn't be a problem but 20-30 fps is painful. I understand that its capped, and why, and im not really interested in playing at 200+fps online (although it would be nice). I really just need some stability in my life right now :)
<br><br>Thanks again for the responses, I'll go try them out and see if it makes a difference.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Frozen<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/16/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ryan C. Gordon
