    Making SF less laggy

    To all those people who get tons of lag, turn down almost all of your settings to low, and some medium. Sacrifice quality for major performance gain. I know if you have a 2000 dollar system you will be reluctant to do so, but i did it and it is very smooth. SF is buggy and gives low framerates, and this is the best way to counter it.

    this is obvious.

    what everyone is looking for is a way NOT to have to do this.

    we are all aware this fixes the problem.

    please close/delete your thread.

      SuperTyphoon: We shouldn't have to use work arounds to make the game playable. It's not f-ing acceptable to release the game in such a bad way.

        We shouldn't, but DICE doesn't know that and doesnt' care. I don't care about anyone, but it benefits alot. Until we can find something to not have to do this, i am keeping mine the way it is.

          Re: Making SF less laggy

          My SF runs smooth and I have everything on high with x4AA at 1023x768 and my system is a lot less then most.

          my system

          Amd 3000+barton
          2gigs 3200 DDR duel channel ram
          Galaxy Glacier 6800GT 256
          2x80 gig Sata Hdd
          8x8DVDrw
          450 watt enermax PSU

          I had some choppyness in BF2 on Darqin Oilfields, but I increased my Apeture size in bios from 128 to 256 and that went away and both BF2 and SF run smooth.

            it kinda bugs me that dice gave my system the default level of high. I need to turn it to very medium to make the game playable. Did they even test the game?

              Alas it's not really DICE's fault. Remember EA now own a large proportion of the shares? They no doubt have nearly all the team working hard on BF3 (Cha-ching! You KNOW you'll buy it.) leaving one or two programmers to work on patches. :/

                How come you have your vid gpu clockspeed set to 370mhz? My 6600GT is set to 579/1006. Works great. Surely your 6800GT supports higher frequencies?

                  If thats a low end system, please tell me what's a high end one?

                    6600GT has a hight clock, but that doesnt mean a whole lot now a days when it comes to videocards.

                    the 6800GT has more Pipelines and Shaders, which is what it comes down to now a days.

                        Ah, ya. Maybe so. But when I overclock my card I get about 20 fps more. Surely doing the same to a 6800GT will improve performance as well. And you say "nowadays" like 6 months ago was oh so long. Fact remains...he seemingly has a better system than me and yet my game seem to runs better.

                            The memory on the 68ooGT is better too, I managed to OC mine to 370/1120.

                              i had the 81.95 nvidia driver and had terrible lag ,then i went down to the 77.77 drivers and now SF runs fine

                              system spec:

                              P.4 2.8 ghz
                              1 gig 3200 DDR
                              BFG 6800 GT OC with 77.77 drivers
