X800xt Need more FPS (WoW)

Tusin · Apr 27, 2006, 02:13 PM

Ok this is on my brothers computer, he is cool with letting me do just about anything to it (its ht eonly desktop in the house, and my laptop can play WoW, but not very well (GMA900, yeah I know, but it was free from work). Specs are X800xt (latest Omega drivers), I dont remember which Pentium D it has but its pretty high up there, 1gb of ram, 7200rpm HD etc... Now I usally get good FPS, max I have seen is 64 (it actually stays at 64.1 never goes over, kind of "locks on there". But I would say the average is 30-45fps. Which is more then fine for WoW.

But recently I have joined a "raiding" guild. In most fights my FPS will drop to 10-15. It pretty much makes it unplayable. I am going to try to overclock it a little bit. Also I think I am going to try the Zeropoint drivers. Also are there any other settings I should try? I mean I have everything cranked way down now. Doesnt look that good....

Thanks for any advice.

i have a ati 1800xt and i get 85 fps playing red orchistra/steam
but i am using cat's 6.4 with the ccc and the ati tool just for fan controll but i have heard that omega's will give better fps though?
havent tried them yet
you should be able to get 60 to 70 fps with the x800 maybe more try turning aa and af down

Ok now is AA and AF controls in the game or?

Maybe I will just try the 6.4 drivers. Its odd tho, it does just kind of "lock" at 64fps (well goes lower and has NEVER gone over).

Oh yeah its a 256 PCI-e card.

you should be able to change it within the omega drivers
im shure there is some type of control panel with omega's
by turning down aa and af your vid quality will go down
