On NFS UG2 and Prince of persia Warrior within , the onboard give 2 fps , rest of the games it gives about 25fps. this is after BIOS update . What should i do ?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEESE HELP SOS

Do you have the latest video drivers? Do you have the video settings for the games lowered to something the onboard video can handle? Do you have an AGP slot available for a new video card?

Depends on what card you have. As a rule, you should not be playing video games with onboard.

Warrior within probably requires DX9 for proper operation, which the onboard video does not support.

Onboard is not designed for games anyway.

Games + on board video = suck

Buy a video card!

I will buy one in 1yr . For now , i'm busy and i play only rarely . So any suggestions for this.

 

[Steaksauce]

pput all of the settings down to the lowest level, and turn off all features in the game for video settings.

 

[sagargv]

did that already !

Pretty hard to squeeze water from a rock.

You either bite the bullet and get a video card, or you set everything to lowest and watch the slideshow. There are no software steroids for onboard graphics, you get what you get.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for all ur help.


I got really angry and blasted my vendor.He came home personally , and

he flashed to the old bios only b'coz i insisted. he promised that he

would get a replacement in 2 days if something went wrong . and

everything went OK . But the 2 games was not (same prob :2 fps in

game ) running well at all.Then suddenly he said that XP is getting

corrupt ( i dont know how, he said it was from experience ) . He

reinstalled and XP on C ( previously it was on D ) . and now voila ,

all games OK and working much faster.( POP was giving 2 fps in game ,

now it gives 30fps !!!!!!!!!!)

He says that he has set up about 50 systems with the same asrock mobo

that i have , and i am the first one to say that i'm unsatisfeid.Then

, i told him that it was b'coz of the problem and he said that the

mobo was fine.He says that intel mobos ( he has put up abt 10 of em)

give much more heat and this mobo though has a small performance hitch

with graphics cards , it is much better regarding to heat he says .

Also the mobo supports both agp8x and pcie . he quotes that all

graphics cards that he has tried on them have worked ( even ones that

are not listed in the support website ).

What could i say ? Whatever it was , the system was back to normalcy.
But look at this strange thing. I had a "working in 16color win98" on

C and XP in D. He installed XP over 98 on C. Now the XP on D is not

deleted !! I get 2 XP's in the OS choices menu . One that leads me to

new XP on C and another that leads me to old XP on D !!!!!!
Have u ever seen this situation . 2 XP's on same system.
And can anyone tell what could have gone wrong in my "old" XP.

totally not true

I can play Diablo II with Intel Extreme Graphics 2 without hesitation. I think what you are trying to imply, that with later fps games, frame rates will not be as blistering as an xbox 360.
