Problem with Frame Rates...

[oo00MaRcHaOs00oo]

When running Operation Flashpoint, i find that when there are lots of men, the game really suffers -> frame Rates in the 5-10fps rate...i was just wondering what is the bottleneck in my system...

System is:
AMD DURON 750@863
GIGABYTE GA7i4ix
384MB SDRAM (KINGMAX)
GeForce SDR 32MB
Windows XP PROFESSIONAL

or is there any way to increase the frame rate....i find that decresing visual option does not have much of an effect...
thanks

Your videocard is the bottleneck. I honestly thought you were gonna be one of those people complaining about not getting 200fps. LOL.

I suspected it as much! what do u think would be a good upgrade of a video card considering price and Performace increase?

1) GeForce 2Mx
2) GeForce 2
3) one of the GeForce 3 range

?

Dude,
First of all, before running any game, you definetely have to check for background applications.If presnt, try removing as many as u can, especially u'r antivirus.Next, try d'lodin' the latest drivers.lastly, try playin' the game@640*480 with most of the eye candy turned off. you should definetely see some some rise in performance or else your video card is incorrectly configured or is damaged
