Is this a normal thing in Second Life. I have experienced extremely slow frame rate. Maybe around 4 frames or less per second. Walking in Second Life is such a painfull experience. Could this be my graphic chip? I have Intel X3000 built in graphic chip in the Intel DG965WH motherboard. My connection is AT&T yahoo DSL.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance, Usually Nvidia or ATI graphics cards are recommended, usual fps goes around 15fps. You can check your bandwidth with the utils LL links at their page http://secondlife.com/community/drivers.php _____________________

Framerate and DSL have nothing to do with each other. You can have a slow connection and a high framerate, and a fast connection watching a slideshow.
You should first drop your view distance. 128 meters is reasonable most of the time If you have dual core/CPU, you need to disable use of one of the cores, and frame rate will suddenly jump up |

Slow frame rate is common in my experience

One area can be 30fps then the next minute it's 3.
I recently purchased land. There can be just 3 avs in it, under 1000 active scripts and 5 fps. Usually at 700 metres it's faster. I guess we have to bare with it. _____________________

FPS is a function of the speed of the cpu. the amount and quality of system ram, the graphics interface (PCI is dead slow, AGP is still good but aging and PCI-e is the king) the quality of your graphics card and graphics memory and then the settings used in game and on the graphics card itself.

I'd like to find out if this is a normal issue even for people with powerful graphic card. Not much improved eventhough I assigned only one core for Second Life.
Thanks for the pointer to the bandwidth test. Mine is really mediocre in addition to my graphic chip. These two are really the culprit. |
