I am having 6600GT 128MB, 512 MB ram, 2.66 GHz P4,

Still in HL2, in some levels, (anticitizen, where you see a four legged monster), fps drops to 15-20. Did anybody find any such problem. I am running the game in highest setting. Even in lowest setting, at the same spot fps is 18 - 22. I don't know what is the problem. Any clue? Should I upgrade my ram to 1 GB??

Thanks

Did you face any such drop in fps? I don't have a firewall installed. I tried terminating all but essential processes, still no big difference.

Add this command line argument and c if it helps.

If this is the fps that u get all through the game... then it could be a problem. If u generally average 40 or more at highest settings with an occasional drop to 20s then its nothin to worry about.

what settings ru playing the game at ???

upgrading to 1gb ram will definitely give a boost in fps .... i played the game at 1280*1024,4x aa,16x af,maxed settings .. the fps fell barely below 30 ...oh btw .. i used a 6600GT ...

Thanks for all the helps and suggestions. Infact I got some virus on my PC. I checked the processes running in bg, I came to find some unknown process. When I turned it off, my system got shut down. Defnitely it was a virus. Let me remove it and see how the performance improves,

Thanks.
