Highend rig preformance problems (Leader)

[Leader]

hi all ! I have tuned up my station with MSI-Mainbord, intel-core 2 extrem,GeForce 8800 gts,now 3GB work-memory and etc.... more then 800 Euro in it now. but the expirience is with all performence and effects in nexuiz terrible! why all the other games are grate hehe . I dont understand why? my i-net is a 10000 DSL with 100MB connection. who is having same problems with very good hardware?! lasr time i loaded nexuiz i had mouse errors cause of an damaged file in mappack! how secure is nex?

???????????????????????????????WTF???????????????????????????????
someone claiming bad performance without any numbers on fps, nor settings used nor what 'all other games' are.. maybe its just a opengl issue, and other games use directx, my car is a xxx that can go 250mph, how secure are your safety belts? anyone else has experiance with useless posts?
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND IRONY....

Maybe your English isn't too strong, but people will listen to you better if you are more articulate in your speech. For example, try refraining from using excessive run on sentences, verb tense disagreement, and too many intentional misspellings:

in nexuiz terrible! why all the other games are grate

Maybe even correct punctuation, although this is alot to ask...

I dont understand why?

Of course, noone is perfect

Leader, you are not the only one who has performance problems with the GF8800 right in the beginning. Sxen had those as well. Unfortunately he can't remember which change in the graphics settings he did but he tried many things, at last Nexuiz was (and is still) running at 500fps.

To make it short: there must be some solveable problem with the default settings of the Nvidia driver and Nexuiz.

Btw. have you installed all current drivers my friend?

And if you're a little lucky, someone at the german forum on planetnexuiz.de can help...

I did not have a problem with leaders english just with the information he provided.. and i tried an unusual way to tell that.
Leader: you do not have two graphic cards right? Cyan reported that old driver can have problems then.. Either update your drivers or create a sli profile for nexuiz then.
Can you tell us what 'those other games' are that work fine?
Are your driver uptodate or did you even use some windows default drivers? Those are known to have poor opengl performance so you should install the official and latest nvidia drivers then. From other forums i learned that some seem to have an option to disable opengl maybe you can look around your drivers settings to find something like this?

You better RMA that/those gfx cards, they must be broken since no sane person would put dark red on dark blue unless thise colors where represented wrong on screen

Seriosly tho, keep it in english here.

Now most of teh bashing have already ben done, so ill just sum it up. When reporting a problem append as mutch info as possible. what you told us sofar is nowehere neer enougth. multiple questionmarks, exclemation marks, caps only and other enoying childish behavior is not ok dont make me spank ya.

Now to start with state your: OS, Driver versions, Nexuiz version and nexuiz settings. iirc there where some issued with darkplaces (the engine nexuiz uses) and gpu's with more then X (64?) number of testure units. This has been resolved, but if you are running an outdated build this may be the source of your problem. If you are running sli chekc cyan's nexuiz-sli guide (tnx cyan!) i dont use sli myself so i cant verify it, but im sure its correct.

Im aware of some issues with dualcore amd machines and nexuiz, when powermanagement is enabled. I dont know it this is the case on intel too, but to make sure this is nto a factor set your powermanagment setting to "always on".

[esteel]

That nvidia texture problem was just a visual one.. it really f*cked up textures and made the main menu ugly and broken already

That powermanagement problem seems to be a windows problem for programs only using a single cpu though. Windows 'notices' cpu is only used to 50% (one of them at full, the other at 0) so windows deceides to do 'good' and use some 'clever' powermanagement

However exact information is never bad.. stuff like what nexuiz version, what driver versions, maybe the file qconsole.log (after starting nexuiz with the parameter -condebug) or other things that look like errors in the console. A timedemo (tdem demo1) and the speeds would also be nice. The output of cvarlist might also help. Maybe you just have vsync without triple buffering enabled which CAN make fps suck very bad. Either its logged when starting with -condebug or use 'logfile filename.txt' to make it output into a file. Also report if you use nexuiz.exe or nexuiz-sdl.exe and if both are equally bad..
