Sins Forums
Hey all,
Just curious if anyone knows of a way to improve late game performance? Im playing a "Random Large (multi)" map, and my game started getting very choppy. I'm running a quad core 2.6ghz, 4gb ddr2, nvidia 8800gt, and vista 64. I only ever have my music player and msn open while I run Sins.
Any advice?
You could look at overclocking your computer, dropping graphic settings or lowering the resolution...
Yes, close your music player,msn;) and open task manager and close any unneeded programs that are also running in the backround.
I think there is a Ram lack. I have 4 Gigabyte Ram. But Sins need more in long games. The Problem ist not the Graphic Card. I think every strong Geforce 6 ( 6800 ) or better can handle Sins ( not in best settings). The Problem is the Ram. Wait 4 a Patch.
My comp is the same as the one posted & I have the same issues. I however use a dual monitor & run a system monitor in sidebar. It never drops ram below 30% free. That's over a gig of ram not being used even at the end of a 100+ planet map.
AMD x2 5400+ 2.6 Gh'z
3.25gbs of ram
Geforce 8600 GTS with 256mb
I alreadly dont play at a large rez, and graphic's are on low-medium, but i've tryed it on 100% low but it didnt make a difference, My game is generally always getting below 30 frames, Mid game - 10 frames and lower.
Areadly know nothing is slowing it down, msconfig as well to stop anything from start up.
Just a guess here, but maybe there is a limit to the number of FPS. Doesn't WoW have a limit of 30??? Sins isn't really the sort of game where you need ultra high refreshes...
I have a 3Ghz dual core, Geforce 6800, 2Gigs of RAM and I've never had any slow-downs except at the very beginning of a map for a few seconds.
I'd suggest right-clicking on your desktop and going to your NVIDIA Control Panel. Go to MANAGE 3D SETTINGS and look through that list and do some tweaking. I have quite a few gamer friends and they always neglect to check these settings when they have some graphic card issues.
This control panel lets you directly control the settings ON THE GRAPHIC CARD before the game gets it's chance to use the graphic card. Anything you set here will override in-game settings (for most games).
for me, the setting which will most affect frame rates is anti-aliasing. if you're using anything above 4x, just take it down to 4x..you really won't notice a difference. If the problem is affecting gameplay so much that you can't stand it, take anti-aliasing OFF, and I promise that it'll run A LOT faster. (but the edges of objects will be jaggy).
I've never really had to tweak my card for this game, so maybe someone else can chime in and say if your GPU will override in-game settings with this method.
That is often the case in MP while other players machines sync up/finish loading
