GTA!!! Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 OK So I have a GT220 graphic card. I know its not that great but at least it should be able to handle GTA SA at full, but my game always lags like hell when flying in Clouds(as low as 7 FPS). Is this happens to everyone else or its just my card isn't powerful enough? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/460593-why-lag/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil weasel Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Have you tried GOOGLE for GT220 graphic http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/270534-3...rce-good-gaming http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19699 http://www.geeks3d.com/20090708/nvidia-gef...graphics-cards/ http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/galaxy-...cs-card-reviews Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/460593-why-lag/#findComment-1060153945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA!!! Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yup! I already did but the thing is if it can run MW2 on 1400x900 with 4x anti aliasing and every thing on extra with 35-45 FPS why cant it run GTA SA with everything on full without lagging? Does it happens to you , if no could you tell me you specs. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/460593-why-lag/#findComment-1060154112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil weasel Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Older games are more memory hogs? Have turned off any programs running in the background? Have you turned off frame limiter Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/460593-why-lag/#findComment-1060154127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I've got the same graphics card, same problem, the clouds thing happens to everyone. I bet even people with the best nvidia or ati get only 10 fps in the clouds.

Girish Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I've got the same graphics card, same problem, the clouds thing happens to everyone. I bet even people with the best nvidia or ati get only 10 fps in the clouds. Nope, that's not normal. I have a ATI HD 4850 and my fps rarely dips below 50 no matter where I am in the game (on the highest possible settings). Assuming you don't have any mods installed, this could easily be a driver related issue. The latest driver might not necessarily be the best driver, especially when it comes to older games. Some older driver might give you better performance in older games such as SA. You'll have to use the trial and error method to determine which driver suits you the best. Check your in-game performance against every driver you try and keep the one that gives you optimum performance.

GTA!!! Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanx for replies everyone. I think girishb is right might be a driver issue. I have heard that the new 25x.xx drivers aren't that great. I will try to shift back to older drivers then.
