6800GT Low FPS in Tribes Vengeance

Oribis · Sep 9, 2004, 06:32 AM

For some reason my FPS in Tribes Vengeance is just awful. I get around 30-40 frames per second on average and if im lucky i get 50. These are on like medium settings at only 800X600. If i drop everything to low, and 640X480 im able to get about 70-80 FPS.

However this just doesn't make sense that I get such low framerates when i get 70-80 FPS in Doom3 at ultra settings...=(

I tried installing Omega drivers, but for some reason it wont let me update the drivers. When I click the update driver and browse in my computer it basically says that the .INF file doesn't have a newer or better version of the driver for my 6800GT.

Im using the EVGA 256 MB 6800GT and Running DX9c. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nevermind, problem solved. Somehow my Refresh rate got dropped to 65 hertz and Tribes uses Vsync. Just upped refresh rate and im getting like 80-90 frames on high settings = P
