SWITCHING OS AFFECTS my FRAMERATE...

[Ballyoop]

Before switching my OS, my 2k9's frame rate can clinch to 35-38 frame rate, but after I switched to Windows XP Pro SP3(I have Windows XP home before though) my frame rate slows down to 15-19... What do you think the problem?

Run MSCONFIG

Disable All Programs Under Startup

Restart

Video Card?

CPU?

HD?

Sound Card?

Memory?

Yeah it does change when you change os's btw may i ask what version are you using pro version or the home version?

if i were you try vista it really can make your fps higher in my case i tried the 32 bit version of the xp pro sp3 my fps of nba 2k9 will only reach up to 45-55 but when i tried vista ultimate 64 bit my fps went higher it became 60-75

Kris, Are you sure with this?

[Angelo]

Yeah im pretty sure i am now currently using the 64 bit version of windows vista ultimate and im having good fps with my games

[cj_miranda23]

Lulz.

Did you install new Nvidia drivers from their website when you switched or did you just let Windows install drivers?
