Hi. Today was the day i finally bought a new graphix card ( Ati 4850) after installing it etc i moved on to play some tf2. Once i went into some map with like 10+ people i started getting lag.. i was still havin like 100-300 fps tho ( same fps at lowest as at highest settings ) but the lag was feeling wierd and it just made it look like it was like 5 fps…:S hard to explain but like every rocket i shot looked like 5 following each other.. ive re installed tf2, steam, drivers and still havent managed to fix this.. can any1 help me plz? i have a nice ping in most servers so it shouldnt be because of that either

edit according to helly this has nothing to do with gfx card settings but my delayage stuff.. on my netgraph it says 30 20 20 30 if i remember it right does any1 know how to fix this shit?

gpu-bios update :] i think that is it ^_^

google ftw.

What r ur settings, res, driver version, os, cpu and ram.
One thing u shouldnt do is flash it, that has nothing to do with vga bios. To me seems u have some setting wrong or bad drivers.
Do u get choke or loss when that happens? Is that random drops or only when there is a huge overload of data on screen.
If ur cpu is not as good as a core 2 it is normal to see that behavior with high settings. That is a possibility.
Use net_graph 3
i am assuming u are not playing w 100+ ping.

format c:

What kevnx said is not very common, but it might be the issue. There are a few graphic cards who change clockspeed all the time which results in performance issues.

so that’s why flashing might be the solution…

seems like u tried some things already, u might wanna give driver cleaner a go or maybe a fresh Windows install.

GL :)

max_fps 100

it might sort it out it did for me

Ive heard others who have the same problem, a friend of my formated his PC (he have a Ati 4850) and when he downloaded the new GFX drivers this problem occured. So he thought it was the new drivers that was the problem.

I dont know if he solved it or not, but try with old(er) drivers.
