Hi there. I'm running a 3.2ghz p4, 2 gigs ramm, 9800XT and cable modem. I got this computer in January, it's from Alienware (unfortunately). But anyway... I played Quake 3, Counter-Strike, Diablo2, LoD and Unreal Tourny 2004 with NO PROBLEMS for the first month of having this computer. Then sometime in February I started to get FPS drop during battle. I mostly play CS now, so I'll give an example thru CS (Counter-Strike) terms. Okay. I run out into battle and get shot at... immediately, my FPS drops from 100 constant, down to 30-60fps until I'm dead and the game puts me into spectator mode. Now what I mean is... from the first instant that a fragment of bullet/grenade hits me, my FPS drops down and stays down until the games forces me into spectator mode. It takes the game about 3-5 seconds to force a player into spectator mode after they've died. So basically, I get shot at and killed before I even see the enemies movements that are happening in real time, that I don't yet see because of... this unknown problem, the FPS drop.
I hope all of this makes sense to you guys. If it doesn't please tell me and I'll try to explain it better.
I've had cable internet for 2 months. I've had this FPS drop issue for about 9-10 months. For a year and a half before I got cable internet I had DSL. What I'm trying to say is, it's not my ISP that's causing this problem.
I've tried Alienware tech support repeatedly with different technicians. They think it's a network problem, which is complete BS.
Is there anyone who can help me out please? :-D
