FPS in DOD:S Help???

[(eG)=ChrisRedfield]

Ok guys, I need help with my FPS. In DOD:S I only get 30 FPS max and it fluctuates from 20-30 FPS. I have a Nvidia Geforce FX series 5600 Graphic card (Yes I know it sucks). Maybe its my graphic card or is it the server? My ping is like 50-60 most of the time. Any help here?

the server wouldn't have anything to do with your fps (atleast not that i know of) if you want a higher fps lower the gfx settings

this may help too http://www.fpsbanana.com/scripting/2781
it takes a lot of things outa the game (decals, shell casings, blood spatter and stuff like that)

Yes - there are many tweaks you cna do such as turning off bullet holes and changing yoru sprite settings and things. I used to do alot of that back in CS 1.3 days on my geforce 2 for the extra boost, but mainly with a card that old it really depends on what settings you are using. Reflections and shadows are usually killers on FPS, and you definately dont want to be using an antialiasing. I suggest running at 10x7 not any higher and just tweak the game or tweak the advanced video settings to set textures lower or something.

Thanks guys I will do that and hopefully I get back my 100 FPS

with that card if you are getting 100 FPS your game looks like crap. You really have to make a comprimize between getting 100 FPS and having the game actually look nice to enjoy it.

I mean honestly - do you know why you need 100 FPS other than bragging rites? Chances are that you are using a Dell monitor running at 72 Hz refresh rate so your wasting those extra 28 frames anyhow (in a manor of speaking).
