Low FPS in SA, overspecced computer.


Recommended Posts

Specs are

CPU: Athlon ii quad, 3.2ghz

GPU: 1GB GDDR5 ATI 5770

RAM: 4GB 1333mhz

 

Yet I'm still getting down to 20fps at times, average is around 40, with highs at 60 in a non crowded area.

 

I'm getting these frames in SA:MP, not sure if the single player would be any different, but I have no desire to play singleplayer anyway after finishing it multiple times on Xbox classic.

 

Any advice? I think the game only uses 1 CPU core right?

The default affinity setting is such that all cores will already be checked. SA, though, makes use of only one core.

 

@BLKMAG: Do you have any mods installed?

Start the game in single player and see if you still face the same issue.

Is this the Retail(DVD) version or a Downloaded version? If Downloaded, from where? Are you using the Original DVD or a No DVD crack or a copy of said DVD? Are ALL your drivers up to date for the Video card, Sound card, DX, etc.?

 

Have you tried turning the FX Quality to Low or Medium AND Turning AA OFF and Lowering the Draw Distance? This will help raise FPS as well as Turning the Frame Limiter OFF. But, having an 40FPS average is darn good and is smooth gameplay imo. There are people that probably can't get that and/or can't get the game to run at all, so, what's wrong with 40FPS-or FPS in the 20's for that matter? Just curious about that one.. confused.gif

Using retail DVD, not using a no CD crack. Drivers all up to date.

 

I'm not lowering the settings as GTA SA already looks bad enough lol..

I'd prefer a higher framerate as I really hate choppy gameplay in crowded areas, 20-50 is definitely playable but I shouldn't get lower FPS in GTA SA than GTA 4.

Might be net lag. Try single player.
