NTW lags a lot more than ETW (PLEASE HELP)

Different fps in Napoleon than Empire, in empire I get 60s to 90s while zooming out, zooming in I get 30s to 40s. In Napoleon, while zooming in..I get 20s...sometimes the mid 10s...
Intel Quad Core q8300 2.5GHZ
XFX 5770 1GB
updated to 11.1 driver

bump, please someone answer?
NTW is very playable, but the lag is kinda annoying compared to my almost lag-free ETW.

Have you tried the 11.1a drivers?

Have you tried Radeon Pro?

I don't know what you're talking about.
I thought 11.1a drivers were for 6xxxs cards.

They work on 5000 series too. (5750 here, and the game is smooth.)

What's your res?

1920x1080...
CCC says I have 10.9...but I installed 11.1...

Do it this way, http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...22#post8880822 and tell us the results.

Driver Sweeper froze up, that means I gotta wait...

Taking too long, should I restart the sweeper?
EDIT: Nvm, I deleted everything manually besides one file, some program is using it, but I don't know what.

That's why you use Safe Mode. Windows loads minimum and all those used in regular mode are open to be removed.

I did everything, about to test the game. How do I find out if my drivers are upto date(11.1)?

It's even worse....12 fps while zooming out

More lag in every game.. wtf

Wow...my GPU temp sky dived down 12c, from 65c idle..to now 52c idle...wow..im gonna reinstall 11.1a

in CCC, under the tab Information, then Software, it should read:

Driver Packaging Version 8.82.2-110119a-112250E-ATI
Catalyst Version 10.12
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1123
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0812
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.10516
Catalyst Control Center Version 2011.0119.1312.23596

NOTE! the bolded line...this could literally read ANYTHING...its a bug, but it does not matter what it says, the other info is what is important (mine happens to read 10.5)


As for your other problems, make sure that you have disabled the extra sound ATI HD sound card in your device manager...that may be the cause.

However, I and some others have found a slight dip in performance between 10.5 and 11.1a.

Wow ATI...anyways..do I have to install 11.1 to install 11.1a? or just 11.1a?

do not install 11.1 if you intend to install 11.a, or you'll have to go through all that process again. 11.1a is a stand-alone.

good luck

Don't leave me, wait for my results please.

no worries mate (You can always PM me also if need be...)

11.1a not working, it was completed but when I restarted it was the same thing, 11.1 works though
