help!

i just installed my copy of BattleField 1942, i put everything to full graphics (i have a 9600XT 128mb)

and its soooooooo laggy, OMG WTF?

is this because my psu is so shit? (300W)???

 

Not sure. What resolution are you playing at? Is this on-line or just a single player campaign?

 

its single player campaign, and its 1024x768 @ 32bit

 

Hmm...that shouldn't be an issue there. I wonder if it's trying to access the hard drive alot or something. Defragging might be a big help. Also snag any patches for BF1942 as well.

 

I know I don't know a great deal , but what is the make of the PSU? 300W isn't really enough juice. My guess is 450 + would make it better.

 

lol, although my PSU was fucked.. and i replaced it with a unused 300W psu (till my order arrives)

i found the problem was, that in BF1942, the video options give u an option of ur refresh rate.. o dear.. me with my lovely large 21" TFT screen, that i'm only running at 70hz.. and i was running it at like 85 or something.. well over.. anyway it would randomly crash when large frame rates were needed.

either way, my pc is now fine and will be ALOT better once my new parts arrive..

infact im going to change my sig now yay 4 moi!
