    Some more information would be nice. Do you happen to have an FPS count (or FRAPS to take one), and what video card are you using?

    Processor should be good enough, but I'm not sure about the video card. It should be playable, but I could be wrong.

    One way to test if it is your computer or the server is to check the FPS with Fraps. Go here (http://www.fraps.com) to download it (there is a free version that also shows FPS), then have it running while you play a game, and the FPS should show on one of the corners of the screen. If your FPS is below 15 (especially if it is in the single digits), then the problem is your computer, otherwise it is network lag.

    actually console commands will give some good info about the server and client

    net_stats
    r_stats

    AMD's run awful compared to Intel on NS2. So much worse.

    In gaming in general, you find AMD generally run 20% lower than equivalent Intel.. although NS2 it's massively more severe and in flux.

    Keep in mind that sometimes the effect systems that are currently being used don't always "clean their messes up" when they're supposed to, which can cause some heavy stress on both CPU and GPUs. Bear with UWE, as performance updates will be coming out to help those issues,

    The game seems to be laggy even with 40FPS and more, 28 Serverticks and a ping of 50.
    And that is strange

    The ping values are wrong. Usually when I'm lagging it's my connection that doesn't work, you can use soft like PingPlotter to check it.

    I use r_stats for the correct ping, also if I ping the IP I get the same values.
