Low frame rates

[dca026]

When I use Teamspeak with flight simulator FS9 my frame rates are reduced by half.What change if any can I make in TeamSpeak.?

Thanks,

Bob

what kind of computer do you have? As in, how fast is your processor, video card, sound card and the works. Do you have the latest video drivers for your card? Teamspeak is not video intensive at all.

The computer is a Power spec a local brand ,dual core,processor is 3.0,video card ATI 4870. 4 m of ram ,win xp

Put in the ln new drivers two days ago.Thank you for your interest.

Will do some system maintenance to see if it helps.

Latest patch for the game?

Does this only occur with teamspeak? or do other programs running along with it also cause frame drops?

Open up TS and FS9. Alt-tab out of FS9, open task manager ( ctrl + alt+ del ) and click the process tab. Right click on it and change hte priority level to the next level up ( above normal if i recall correctly ). Try that and see how that works.

It only hapens with TS,and did the change to high prioty level which helped a little.It must be related to FS9 only as when I run X-plane 9 I get rates up to60-70 with TS on.

Latest directX? Maybe switch from wave to direct or vice versa?

Other people have had this same problem. A little googling might give you a solution. After quick searching, i found nothing.
