hi, i just installed et and i have very very low fps even at 1024x768.. I get like 7 fps.. i have a radeon 7500 vid card / p4 2.4ghz / 512mb ram

btw. i get 1150 with glxgears and counterstrike runs great on my system with winex

here is the output from running et.. what could be the problem ?

well.. i don't think there is anything wrong.. i just think your radeon 7500 is a bottleneck. the half-life engine and quake3 engine are two completely different engines (with half-life being much older) so even though counter-strike can run fine, enemy territory wont... i'd suggest lowering the resolution and color depth

Try changing the color depth. I know this game runs well with a 32mb 7200 at 16bit.

Many people have problems with et.
I have an gf2mx and a p3-900 and play it at 640-480 16 on everything including z-buffer, r_lodbias 2, lowest texture quality, need i to keep on going?

yeah bump it to 640x480 res...it will run fine

try and set /max_fps x, where x is a number.... took me a while to figure this out with quake3, works the same with et, i get about 100 fps easily at 1280x1024x32, nvidia FX5600, 256mb ddr333, xp2700, except make sure nothing emerging in background

im not real sure about ati cards, but check your bios too for fast writes and try enabling it
