The weirdest thing happened. I recently updated from Windows XP to Windows 7, but I'm getting less frames per second in Source games. Anyone know anything I can due to optimize it? I've already started using a non aero Windows theme, closed out other windows, and lowered the settings. ____________________ -Ninjablooper  |

Only by a bit, but a significant enough amount to notice. I'm not sure if I switched from 32 to 64 bit, Lunaria. ____________________ -Ninjablooper |

Well, are you running other programs in the background? I noticed that graphics cards like AMD tend to downclock itself if browsers like firefox is running for whatever strange reason. Are you using fullscreen, windowed or "noborder" mode? ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I'm running nothing in the background. Even tried closing Steam. I run in windowed mode. ____________________ -Ninjablooper |

Well here's my graphics card. Is this bad or what? I'm not really very informed much about hardware.

Is your GPU driver up to date? ____________________ Robocop and 이명박 voted for me. |

I'm not sure. How would I check that? ____________________ -Ninjablooper |

Posted by ninjablooperI know it's a old post, but try running fullscreen. A lot of people is reporting decreased FPS in windwoed mode.  ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

That could be it. Isn't it harder for the PC to run it if the pixels don't match up with the screen? ____________________ -Ninjablooper |

It's really more that the GPU spends time rendering things that isn't the game.
I also noticed that if you are running Firefox and a game at the same time, sometimes the video card keeps itself at the "idle clock" which is ok for hardware rendered desktop applications but possible laggy for games. I suspect same quirk is true for other hardware rendering browsers, which is all of them now. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org
