Hey all, sorry I've been away from the cubers forum for a little while and haven't seen this. Thanks for all the responses :)

Nvidia GeForce 9200 graphics card and AMD Athlon II X3 425 2.70GHz processor. My graphics card is a piece of sh*t I know, would there be a better one I could upgrade to that anyone could recommend?

This is the max i can get on laptop, still its not enough! On my desktop i get around 800 - 1000 with my windowed screen height at 800 and width 600, almost all shots register, depending on server and ping.

I would also recomend you to search some tips on how to close unwanted applications or processes that might be running in background without you even noticing.

I think the max fps I've ever got was about 200 (and no, I don't use /maxfps 200), I will definetely have a look though at background system checks and so on that may be going on without my knowledge. Yesterday for instance the hardrive started to whirr like crazy and my fps dropped to a mere 90. This only happened for a few minutes but it was still an inconvenience. So I'll look that up, thankyou :D

I have used the lighting and vsync commands, thanks but what is textreduce? Whenever I type it, it says "unknown command". And I have turned the graphics down to horrible, my fps are slowly but surely creeping up.

And one last thing.....I run a small 10-slot match server for my clan from the same monitor which I use to play AC. Would that affect my fps? (sorry if this question seems stupid...I've played AC for about 4 months lol)


Thanks again to everyone who replied and offered help (especially titi who actually solved most of the problem for me), I didnt quote all replies here but I have followed your instructions and collectively they have led to an improvement in my fps. So thanks! :)
Thanks given by:
