<div class="IPBDescription">this just doesn't make sense</div> When i first started playing NS, i ahd a geforce 2 GTS 32 mb...and i got perfectly smooth fps at all times during the game
recently, i got a radeon 9800 pro 128 mb, and i cant get above 40 fps!! <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> all of my other games run fine...even Halo runs almsot perfectly smooth all the time....HL is the only game ive had problems with
it isnt vsync or anything like that....nothing involving what was discussed in that huge webbed thread about win2k/xp users...so what the hell else could it be? is HL possibly looking for my old nvidia drivers (which are uninstalled, of course), and the problem could be fixed by a fresh install of HL?
any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

[Edit: If you think there's still some nVidia stuff on your HD, try running Detonator RIP. It should clean all the remaining nVidia drivers etc. Download from <a href='http://download.guru3d.com/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=603' target='_blank'>http://download.guru3d.com/pafiledb.php?ac...ion=file&id=603</a> ]
[Edit #2: I think there are also some ATI related switches in HL's config.cfg file. Can't remember what tho, because I'm an nVidiot :]
