Well with that Graphics Card update your drivers.  I downloaded some drivers the other day, then I screwed the computer up, went to a backup and had to install the drivers again and it was a complete different version.

Don't lock it if the problem isn't solved.  You can't wait 36 hours then conclude nobody can help.  Now, have you updated your drivers AND reduced your video settings as previously asked?

Turn off reflective water, turn off high res textures.

Post by: zimtstern on June 16, 2008, 02:32:53 PM
darn i thought i can do this without high-res textures...

i never lag with the textures just the smokes-.-

so do you think there is no solution when have the high-res textures enabled?

Just try it. It's like shoving a box full of goodies until it finally explodes, and when it explodes, time freezes. So you throw out some of the goodies, and it will be a safe box again. Hopefully. The box is your video card, and the goodies are stuff like high-res textures. If disabling the high-res textures didn't work, you're going to have to throw out more, or be absolutely certain your video card is good to go.

I remember a thread where there was a pretty long list of stuff to disable, I might be able to find it.

edit:
r_caustics 0
gl_stainmaps 0
gl_dynamic 0
r_oldmodels 1

Then vid_restart.

oh ok i`ll try it @ home, but if i wanna have my high-res textures back i have to set:
r_caustics 1
gl_stainmaps 1
gl_dynamic 1
r_oldmodels 0

??

or just backup my config:)

No, those are entirely different settings than that of the high-res textures.

The textures probably aren't going to impact the speed that much (unless you have a crappy onboard video card with shared memory).  The problem with the smoke grenades is fill rate.  The *200 video cards generally have very poor fill rate.  About all you can do is lower your resolution or get a better video card.

If you dont like the old models
"r_oldmodels 0" set them off
"r_oldmodels 1" set them on
