-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Started playing some Portal this morning, and noticed that performance is absolutely abysmal for me. From my experience with modding I checked the budget graph to see what the heck was killing the framerate, and like some of the users of our mod(FF), who have also upgraded to the latest nvidia drivers(which claim to improve TF2 performance), it destroys the performance in other HL2 based games.
The +showbudget graph shows swap buffers and CViewRender::Render pegged when the game runs like ass, which is about 70% of the time for me in portal. The rest of the time the game runs fine. Some users of Fortress Forever have reported this same problem after upgrading their drivers for TF2 and then trying to come back and play FF,and even HL2DM and CS:S http://www.omni-bot.com/_misc/testchmb_a_010000.jpg I've not observed this issue in other games using these drivers yet, but I wanted to bring this to Valves attention in case some change in TF2 that these drivers take advantage of could be adversely effecting older HL2 engine games or something like that Jeremy -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
