Radeon 8500LE and Dungeon Siege FPS

[Sandan]

Anyone playing Dungeon Siege and notice fps problems. I have the 8500LE overclocked on an ECK7S5A and an Atholon TBird 1.4. I have 384 of PC133 ram. I'm getting 19 to 25FPS in this game running with partly complex shadows at 1024x768. This is frustrating because I upgradged from a 32 meg Radeon LE which was getting the same FPS. Other performance areas have increased. Getting 7400 on 3dmark 2001se and 125 or more fps on unreal tourney. Even if everything was turned on with the 8500 I should be getting more than 19fps on Dungeon Siege. Man what is that.

Did u get rid of all the registry and drivers from the previous card? Usually a clean-install can fix this problem. Also, make sure your bios has the AGP Apeture size set to at least 128MB.

That doesn't sound too bad to me. I have a P4 2.2a with 512 Megs of RAM and a Geforce 4 TI4400. I am running at 1280X1024 and get between 20-30 fps with most of the details turned up.

Wow. I have tried a lot of tweaks to this game based on a page I was referred to. Blurry, My last card was the Radeon 32meg which uses the same drivers. Although I did uninstall them and reinstalled. On a benchmark program for the game I average 41fps. But when a lot of fighting is going on it still goes down to 17,18,19 frames. This is really frustrating.
