Quick and Simple Question

When I'm playing Renegade online with you guys, and lets say I'm getting 85 ping, but 10 FPS, is that because of a graphic card type problem? I think I've got a Radeon 9200 SE, that should be able to handle Renegade right? I don't think its because of a bad connection if I'm getting 85 ping... I wonder if its possible it has something to do with my ram? Have problems with WoW with it, or a power supply? I really don't even know what that it but eh o.O I'm thinking about upgrading some parts, specifically Ram, but any help now with my stuff is nice.

To late to edit I was wondering, what kind of FPS you guys get when you go into practice? I get about 10 to 25 =/ No programs running in background... I know it used to run way smoother then this.

What FPS do you get in Single player... ?

[toadsdaki]

I get about 30 at cutscenes and 10 to 25 again when I'm playing...whenever there is gunfire it drops down to like 13

FPS or frames per second is directly related to how fast your video card can render the image. The more detail the lower the fps.

First thing is to update the video driver from ATI.
Second would be to turn your resolution down.
Third would be to get a newer video card.
1g of ram is all you need to run this game, although I run 4g because I run Vista 64bit on my computer which is very ram intensive.

Soo.... lets say I have 512 mb of ram on my computer right now... If i go buy a new stick of ram, should i see some improvements? o.O
I guess i'll go update my drivers now though

If the FPS is Choppy, then yes you will.

If its not really choppy but generally slow, then its the vid card.

probably would help either way though. Make sure you double check the type of RAM you will need... installing it is a snap.
