Hi all,I just built my new computer and am having some issues when I run windowed mode. Full Screen seems to work fine...but as soon as I uncheck the full screen option, my FPS goes from 80, down to 10. Intel Core2Quad QX9450 (OC'd to 2.85GHz)EVGA 750i FTW8GB 4-4-4-12 Corsair XMS RAM(2)(SLI) BFG 8800GTS 512MB OC series(1) Acer 24" P243W MonitorI've tried various versions of drivers, different performance options, turning SLI on and off, etc.Nothing seems to work except putting it in full screen (but I run a few clients, so putting it in full screen really hurts me). Is there any fix for this?

EVGA 750iI would look at this versus the <a href="http://help.station.sony.com/cgi-bin/soe.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=16089&p_created=1131756150&p_sid=teHBHE2j&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX 3Jvd19jbnQ9ODcsODcmcF9wcm9kcz0yMCZwX2NhdHM9MCZwX3B 2PTEuMjAmcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlY XJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PXZpZGVvICB kZXZpY2Vz&p_li=&p_topview=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">support video cards</a>, as being the issue.

I have the same problem ... for some reson with EQ2 when in windowed mode it loses frame rates its pretty haggard if you ask me... I always play full screen now and usually get 40+ fps unless in cities

Without any other <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=353617" target="_blank">information.</a> I would say your issue is a bad flux capacitor system. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />Open a new thread and post your info, or PM me later once my PMs get opened please.[EdIt: Linky]

Why do you think the EVGA 750i is the problem?

Okay - I'm narrowing it down more now...When I have the client in windowed mode and not maximized - my FPS is fine (and my green SLI bar shows like halfway full)When I have the client in windowed mode and maximized - my FPS is stuttering (and my green SLI bar shows barely even used)When I run it in full screen, the SLI bar is the same as windowed mode un-maximized.So....the question is - why does it start stuttering when you maximize it to 1900x1200?

I apologize, I was mistaking that in a quick read earlier. Please post your DXDIAG and MSINFO so I can more understand what is going on.<a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=353617" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=353617</a>

I'm having the same issue, but with a machine i've been playing eq2 on for almost a year now. It was perfectly fine last night, logged on today and got the same problem. Crap framerate in windowed mode, perfectly fine in fullscreen.I have done -nothing- to the machine since last night. Finished the raid logged off, went to bed, got on today and there it was.I'll submit my own thread for tracking issues.

OK nothing Odd I can see with yours here. Good drivers, good card. nice system.I know the DXDIAG wont show if you have DirectX 9.0c. Have you installed that too? You can give that a try with this download<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&DisplayLang=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...;DisplayLang=en</a>Keep in mind EQ2 was made before multiprocessor machines where dreamed of. It also and takes more advantage of the processor rather then the video card. You can see the dilemma there. Give the DirectX 9 a try and lets see what happens.

DirectX has determined that there is an equivalent or newer version of DirectX already installed.That's what I get when I try to install it. Is that because I have DirectX 10 from Vista x64? Or is that because I already have 9 installed as well as 10?

I'm fairly sure the coding in this game is pretty broke.I can run Crysis @ 1900x1200 with everything on but I can't run EQ2.My roommate with a Q6600/8800GT/4GB of RAM can run 6 EQ2 clients with 25+ FPS on each in balanced mode in 1900x1200 windowed mode maximized.I have a QX9450/(2) 8800GTS/8GB of RAM and when I run 6 clients, each client gets 3-4 FPS on each in extreme performance mode even when I don't maximize the clients. However, I can run 1 client at maximum graphics with a constant 60+ FPS as long as I run it in full screen or small windowed mode @ 1900x1200 (not maximized, or my FPS runs down to 10-13).Same version of video drivers, etc. Everything in my computer is better than his, but his runs perfect.

And not to deter the little bit of tech support that I am getting - but you do know that it is not possible to install DirectX 9.0c on a Windows Vista system, right?

Most games that run in a window in Vista take a HUGE FPS hit... it's just the way Vista is... you can sort of help this but shutting off the Aero theme. This stops the Vista GUI from using DX9 to render bars, buttons, windows, etc.. and your games will run much more smoothly in a Window. Even with XP, anytime you run a game in the window you are taking "some" resources away from the cpu and gpu to run in a window (but usually it's a very small FPS hit). My advice is to run full screen unless you have a pressing need to run EQ2 in a window. Of course the better your CPU/GPU is/are the less of an impact running in a window will have on you

Well...the thing here is that when I run it windowed mode non-maximized, it runs perfectly fine.My roommates computer isn't as good as mine, and his runs perfectly fine maximized....it's not a Vista issue imo.I have to run EQ2 in windowed mode because I run multiple clients. I can't run them non-maximized though, because after a few clients it starts to lag out. (Which makes no sense because my older computer ran 5 clients no problem).

You can install DirectX 9.0c on a Vista machine, I help others do it quite a few times a day.

Interesting.According to anything I have ever read - DirectX 9 is a subset of DirectX 10 and is automatically installed whenever DirectX 10 is installed. I still haven't fixed my problem, but I bandaged it. I can run multiple clients in windowed mode non-maximized, but if I try to drag the corners of the window to fill my screen - it starts lagging. So someway, somehow, it's a resolution problem. When I try to make the EQ2 window go all the way across my 1900x1200 monitor, it just starts chopping. GG client.
