F1 2010 low framerate help?

[Faztastic]

Hey

i just got f1 2010 off steam and well im having really poor performance with it. I had all the updates installed and the latest ati driver and at 1920x1080 with 2xaa and Ultra High im getting an average of 26fps. so i was like ok might be a demanding game so i lowered it to medium and i only saw my framerate go upto an average of 36fps.
this cant be correct surely....

(specs in sig)

Just found out my friend is getting double the perfomance over me and we have same pc but his gfx card is a stock 6850

there are some stuttering issues due to replay-buffering, iirc, best to look at codemasters forums for that.

And play about with the sound settings. Might see an increase going from Rapture (i think!) to software in the settings ingame.

Yep, I think it was mainly with PCs with a slightly slower HD. Which one do you have, Faztastic?

if you keep ontop of it each time only takes 20 seconds, to be honest i rather do it than leave it a month and wait 40 mins. Also its a bit of an ocd "trying too keep my pc like day1" speed. lol auslogics

Unless you actually move a lot of data around on the drive, a defrag wouldn't make any difference. Can you get the model number of the HD.

I just changed the replay file to read only. and still the frame rate is the same.

It was not really stuttering it was just low framerate
