I'm just wondering if you run the fasest on all Graphic and Sound does it go slower also, is it recommended to run everything on low / nothing?

If i have 1280 x 1024 , does it run slower then :P? I have about 35-60fps but when im gvging its so slow / lagggy ! Any tips^^?

Exept buying new pc^^:Pq

Highest Graphics detail, 1280x1024 res, 4x Antialiasing, V-Sync On. With this setting my fps floats about 60 all the time. If I turn Vsync off its over 100fps then.

If you want nice graphics with fast fps I suggest you turn off V-Sync and Antialiasing.

Wait For vertical Sync, Enable Post Process Effects, Anti - Aliasing and Refresh Rate, and Shader what are they^^?

Also any place where i can see what Refresh rate my screen have also, if its Defualt does it auto take the correct?

Thx for answers^^

Im not sure if that works for everyone, my game looks better with 60fps v-sync than without it.When its off i have around 300-450 or so, but if i make quick turns the frame wont be smooth as with v sync.

I'll try to give it a shot for your purpose:

Quote:

Wait For vertical Sync

A method, that prevents screen "tearing" due to monitor/graphics card synchronization. Unless you see the tearing, you probably won't need it. Negligible gain by turning off.

Quote:

Enable Post Process Effects

Many effects, most known one the distortions seen when you are drunk. Not always. Not always used, so unlikely to give you a great gain by turning off.

Quote:

Anti - Aliasing

Prevents edges from being jagged by blurring them. A VERY resource intensive setting. A big speed up by turning off.

Quote:

Refresh Rate

More a question of your monitor, not performance.

Quote:

Shader

A big deal at the core of the graphics engine. Higher shader settings are more demanding, but usually greatly affect visual quality. Lower settings should be quite faster.

REMEMBER: no matter how fast your computer or how low your detail settings ,it won't prevent LAG, which is a question of connection, not your machine. You can easily test what is the problem:
-rotate your camera. If the rotation is "jerky", slow or even stops for a fraction of a second, that's your machine end - decrease detail levels.

-if things stand still or "jump back in time", that's lag. Little you can do about it. Don't download things in the background and similar.

It really depends on your PC: what are the stats of it? Which processor do you have? What graphics card? How much memory (RAM)?

The better your PC hardware, the faster and smoother games will run on it. Like Iuris said above me, Lag has nothing to do with the graphics.

Thanks for the info, also i get this message

Chip Fan Fail or speed to low, the bad fps, might be because of that

Thx for correcting me

Snograt · Oct 26, 2008, 07:35 PM // 19:35

I would guess it says "CPU fan fail or speed too low" or "Chip fan fail ..." either of which is self explanatory. Blast the crap out of your PC case with compressed air, paying particular attention to the fans.

^ I did clean it, should it warning remove itself now? (havent done here =()

Quaker · Oct 27, 2008, 04:58 PM // 16:58

Look at the fan on the motherboard chipset - is it turning (when the power is on)? If not, you may be able to clean/lubricate it or you may need to replace it.
There may also be NO fan on the chipset, in which case the warning means nothing.

Massive Impulsa · Oct 27, 2008, 07:25 PM // 19:25

I had a problem whit the Fan in the middle back, first it was strafing(bad english ^^) the edges and made this big noise, then it stopped.. I then just screwed some and it works perfect now, checked all my fans everyone goes smooth and cleaned them (atleast cleaned abit:P) and i still get the message, kinda annoying =(

Mortis · Oct 27, 2008, 07:59 PM // 19:59

Buy a new pc. :P

Massive Impulsa · Oct 28, 2008, 01:49 PM // 13:49

HAHAH Veldig morsomt :P - har 2 pc'er så må nokk kjøpe en ny den ene er full RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOa

English; Tried again still the message appears, any way to shut it out exept some advance stuff?

Snograt · Oct 28, 2008, 08:29 PM // 20:29

Fan monitoring should be switchable in the BIOS. Just have a poke around.

Massive Impulsa · Oct 28, 2008, 10:55 PM // 22:55

<-- Newb but wondering when u say in the BIOS u mean hardware or software? x)

moriz · Oct 28, 2008, 10:58 PM // 22:58

when you cleaned out the cpu fan... did you plug it back into the correct slot? if not, your motherboard won't detect it.

i think the most prominent effect of this option is the 'bloom'
which tries to emulate a more "realistic" lighting condition
basically the light and sunny areas will have a 'glow' that makes it look slightly overexposed

and on my machine, i get a decent performance gain from turning this off

Massive Impulsa · Oct 29, 2008, 10:44 PM // 22:44

^ same got 120 fps now! Thx!
