FPS are the same as usualy but every about 2 seconds it feels like lagging...

Hey everyone I was messing with my old 3d card so i could use tv/out which this newer card couldnt do. So after i used the old vid card i hooked it up back upto the better vid card....voodoo3 2000 and then it had like 30fps in counterstrike...the usualy but it lags ever like 1-2 seconds ***??? I uninstalled 3dfx and then re-downloaded it and installed them again and the same problem. Could it be something other than the 3d-card? And i dont notice it in the desktop only in games. AND i re-downloaded glsetup and still the same thing.....hm somethings really screwed.

Anyone have an idea whats going on?

Make sure you have the latest drivers/directX/openGL/glide/3dfx/bios/chipset drivers.

Check your system resources. 80%+ free is preferable. Check your virtual memory settings.

Can you give us more system specs?

When I launch the RealBot program in Counter-Strike and adding over 10 bots the game seems to lag very 2-3 seconds. However, when I normally play over the Internet, this doesn´t occur. It might be driver related though..

i've got the same card as you. voodoo3 2000, and i have the same problem. i have been using this card for around 2 years now. the fps is very good, but it seems to lag after every few seconds. since i'm gonna buy a new 3d card soon, my temporary fix to this is to overclock the card to around 165 mhz, and the problem is almost unnoticeable. try it. i recommend VCONTROL for it, cuz with VCONTROL you don't have to restart your PC after overclocking.

PIII 800 mhz
Intel D815EEA motherboard
Kingston 128 MB PC133 RAM
Seagate 30GB ATA/66 7200 RPM H.D.
Voodoo 3 2000 16 MB PCI
Acer 52X CD-ROM
ViewSonic 15GA monitor
Creative Modem Blaster 56K modem
Creative Cambridge Soundworks speakers w/subwoofer

Is this just internet games? Or do all games do it? Cause maybe you have a suck cconnection lately. but it must be driver realted cause on my old system P2-400 128MB pc-100 ram TNT 1 16MB I can run counter strike 1152X864 and get very smooth FPS. Unlesss your resolution is already very low you could try backing it down a notch.
