[solved]Only 50fps with latest drivers

[Strahlemann]

Hehe, yeah i don't get it either.
I'm in munich again next weekend, but i won't take my rig with me Have to "after-celebrate" my birthday

But if you happen to be in Ulm you're welcome to take a look

P.S.: I guess i'll reinstall older drivers

Happy belate birthday Strahlemann!

About the fullscreen.. is your desktop set to 32 bit? Nexuiz can't go to fullscreen if the desktop bpp and nexuiz bpp differ. Just a small idea.

[Strahlemann]

I installed the old Forceware 84.21 and guess what: It didn't help...
Very very bad.
And the change of the bpp didn't help either (tried both 16-bit and 32-bit for nexuiz and desktop)

So i have to solve this problem somehow but need to learn for my exam this tuesday.
You'll hear again from my weird rig next week i guess

Thanks for your patience and help so far

Backup everything.
Download ubuntu or debian and burn them on an RW
Delete windows to oblivion.
Install linux with latest nvidia drivers from nvidia.
Launch nexuiz.
Be happy with fullscreen and more then 100 FPS

[Strahlemann]

wanted to do that after my exam anyways

Befire deleting windows you have to know: Linux means pain! I wouldnt believe Sxen before I tried it myself. It was a torture to even install teh nvidia driver, and it worked for a few days only... [/flame]

If you can have an old (!!!) video adapter available, I'd suggest you deinstall all nvidia driver stuff, replace the 6800GT with the old crap, start windows, shut it down again and build the 6800GT in again, install the current Forceware and look what happends. Should'nt take more than 15 minutes and will work hopefully.

Problem solved !

Maybe the graphics driver forces vsync for some reason

Should have read that one again. Thanks diV

It's now working with nexuiz-sdl.exe again. In fact it really was the vSync.
But i could swear that i disabled it before i reinstalled the drivers, and it didn't work.
Well i tried it again with Forceware 93.71 and created a new Profile (god these profiles are a messy thing) and disabled vsync there.

Tada: now i get constant 85 fps (like my monitor-refresh-rate)
Ok, i had more before, but i'm glad i can play fluently again.

Btw.: I had to hack my registry to avoid that ol' 60Hz Monitor-refresh-rate bug.

Well, whatver. Thanks guys for your suggestions
