GeForce 8800GTX - Major indoor lag!?

Beachhead

Ah, so it's the entire 8000 series of cards, not just the 8800 series.

This has probably been mentioned before in the thread, however I don't seem to get this issue inside of clubs, mostly inside of lobbies of high-rise buildings and mission zones.

Someone earlier pointed out that their FPS drops to 1 when walking towards a door in any mission zone, so I think certain types of doors could be causing the issue here.

For instance, I was fine while in club duality but while in the lobby of the building and heading for the elavator I was getting the good ole 1 fps issue.

Guess I should stay away from the 8000 series when I buy a new card...

Sadly my prized purchase of late was a 8800gtx, never expected any problems with MxO of all things =/ t is good outside but hardly great my old ati x850 was as good and indoors it was far better - Is there any sign of a fix or work around?

**Ezer**

Is this going to be fixed? I am building a new system and wanted this video card for it, but not if it wont work indoors in mxo. Has anyone had any luck in fixing this lately?

Just to let folks know, this issue is still being investigated and I don't have any other "tips" to try out yet SMILEY

Has anyone tried the latest NGO drivers from guru3d.com yet? I've heard a few good things from the Vanguard players about those particular drivers in comparisson to the official nVidia drivers.

So it looks like there is something about the traversible bridging surfaces with doorways or the way the drivers deal badly with culable surfaces that are causing this.

Or it could just be optimsed occluded surfaces calculations that are backfiring.

Yes, they don't make any difference, unfortunately.

Tytanya, what drivers did you use for your x850? I have the x850XT plat. and the catalyst drivers suck on my *cough*dell*cough*.

I used the Catalyst 6.2 driver on my X850 XT PE. Seemed to run fine until the video card overheated and destroyed itself.

I have been using 6.12 the last of the version 6 drivers, works pretty well even at 1920x1200...unfortunately my monitor seems to have issues with the 7 series drivers but supposedly they boost performance further..... Dell XPS 3.6Ghz and 2Gb of ram perhaps do more than their fair share, certainly the extra gig of ram made a significant difference when I installed it.

lol, overheating...

maybe I should stop OC'ing the vid card everytime I load MxO.

Seriously though, I am going nuts. After 4 duels: lag. 6 Missions: Lag. PvP for 5 minutes:lag. Bazman Useropts.cfg 1.0: major lag! And now, when set to highest detail, everyone's name is see-through. The background shows through the tag. . . SMILEY

Here's my system:

Dell 8300 Windows XP Home
80GB HDD
3.0Gz P4 w/533 FSB
3GB PC400 DDR
X850Xt PE Sapphire 6.12 catalyst dvr
Comcast Broadband 6MB d/l - 384K u/l

I really shouldn't be having these problems, right? Or should I just quit whining?

I am not suffereing with the same lag problems as you, but I get that issue with the name tags whenever I activate any of the cards graphical tweak overrides - set everything to 'let the application decide' for Anti-Aliasing, Anitrophyphy...etc and it works fine.

You can still use the useropts file to set 14x or 16 AA so don't despair SMILEY
