DX10 + Lagg

[nx-hosting]

Hello All

Bought an 'Asus E8800 GTS 320mb' from Kustom

I get glitches in Crysis when runnning in DX9 & 10 with Full Screen running 1024x768 due to it causing lag i aint playing with 1680x1024

spec,

AMD 64 3800
2gb Kingston Dual Channeling
Gigabyte K8... Board
E8800 ASUS 320mb
400gb hd
Vista Ultimate :(


Any ideas?

Yes, buy a more powerful rig. I haven't played it yet (only just installed it), but all the stuff I have read says it hammers hardware, even on powerful rigs. I suspect that 3800 is holding you back somewhat, unable to feed data to the graphics card quickly enough.

The website I found tested the 640MB GTS with Crysis on 1024x768 with very high and high settings and got 21/36fps respectively, but they were using a 3.2GHz Core2Duo, much faster than your 3800.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

Cheers,
Stephen

It's crysis it doesn't play well on anything except 3 card sli :D

And the higher the res, the worse the effect due to more pixels.

And considering you host gaming servers etc I would have thought you would have known about the issues surrounding crysis etc

I know there is issues in the game and there hasn’t been a patch release as of yet, but it isn’t just Crysis. I’m getting the same sort of lag with DX9 in COD4.

This is only because I upgraded from XP SP2 to Vista.

And my stats for Vista are
Processor: Calculations per Second - Score 4.2
Memory: Memory operations per second - Score 4.9
Graphics: Desktop performance for Windows - Score 5.9
Gaming Graphics: 3D business and gaming graphics performance - Score 5.9
Primary hard disk: Disk data transfer rate - Score 5.2

Thought id add that, even thought it wasn’t necessary

so you upgraded, not a clean install ??

couldnt upgrade, still have all my XP files in the C:\ but the dir renamed as 'windows.old'

and it doesnt allow Dual Boot

[LSG501]

Explain how it was installed then as it would either be an upgrade, clean install (with no windows remaining without copying) or a dual boot (easier if xp is already installed) :confused:

I would say the install arrangement is half the issue, the install isn't a standard affair and knowing windows I'd say that even as windows.old its still conflicting.

ok Windows XP SP2 was still on the Hard Drive, but when i booted the Vista disk it gave me the option to just do an Advanced Install. It wouldnt allow an Upgrade
