Lag? GFX help.

Toshiro · Post by **Toshiro** » 11 Jan 2006, 01:40

Scenario: I have Most Wanted on medium (two notches), with max detail, and it lags like crazy. My friend's specs aren't so different, but he has everything on max with 1024x860. I have it on 800x600.
------------------------------
My Specs:
2.4 MHz
GeForce 6600 256MB
1.5 GB RAM
-------------------------------
My Friend's Specs
3.5 MHz
GeForce 6600GT 256MB
1024 RAM
-------------------------------
Maybe it's because I have eMule PLUS, AIM, and a trainer running in the background?

Help me out here. XD

Your friend has a lot better cpu and gfx-card...
But have you tried different drivers for your gfx-card?

regardless the GT version is much faster compared to the standard 6600

Alright. Turned out the trainer was lagging it down...and i brought the detail down a few notches.

BTW, CPU frequency is measured in GHz these days ... Haven't used MHz since the 90s

Also, you may want to specify what kind of processors they are (i.e. AMD Athlon64, Pentium 4, Celeron, etc.) ...

The 6600GT is MUCH faster than the 6600 as well ...

I don't know why you would run a P2P program, an IM program and a trainer in the background and then post a thread asking why your fps suck.
