I've only recently picked this up for pc, so I don't have a lot of experience with it.
I've been hooked to the "race" gametype lately, but choppy gameplay is making it difficult to drive. My computer specs are a recently installed 6800GS, AMD64 3400+, and a gig of RAM. I bumped up the resolution to 1280*1024 to smooth things out. I have noticed that my vid. card does get into the 70s temperature wise when playing. So is that the cause?
Or is it my DSL? My ping to the server stayed mostly in the 60s. I'm hoping that's not too high. Is it?
One more thing, the server I was playing kicked me for saying "damn". Right when I was about to complete a lap, someone blew me up with a rocket, it was a great shot. So I said "damn you, name here. lol" Then I was kicked. LAME. So is my username banned, or does anyone think it's an IP ban?
Your videocard is WAY too hot. How many fans do you have? Get more fans, and get a better fan for your video card.
Something is definetly wrong with your PC. My PC isn't as good as yours and it runs Halo at maximum settings at 1280x1024 easily. The framerate is always 50+.
Run Disk Defrag, download CCleaner and clean out all the junk on your PC, use its registry cleaner, and run Disk Check.
