Hmm? Games Jerk (Make a better title next time)
- Thread starter jcb33
- Start date
Could it be spyware or some other evil app running while you play? Done a scan for viruses?
My PC runs Oblivion fine 90% of the time, but there are times the frame rate jerks down to about 15fps.. this is on max settings though.
My PC: Opt 144 @ 2560, 1Gb Ram, Geforce 7800 GT @ 455/1170

Rightio, I jsut noticed in one of your posts that you said you played BF2 maxed. That's a load of codswallop tbh, I can't play BF2 fully maxed on my comp, and it's a couple of generations newer.
There are three options for it being jerky, thats RAM, CPU or motherboard. Simple as that. It won't be the windows install or the HD as you said you've checked them repetatively.
How high are you putting the settings on these games? what monitor are you using and what size, e.g 1280x1024 ?

Mate, you can't be serious. I ran a Opteron 144@ 2.7GHz, 6800GS and a gig of RAM, 1024x768 on a 17" CRT and I couldn't max.
If your trying to run high settings with that spec, that is the sole reason you are skipping. put it down to medium or low, you don't have enough RAM, and your GFX card hasn't got the power to run BF2 at max AF is bog standard now. Stop kidding yourself.

Last time I checked in BF2 you cannot set the AF at all. You can only choose so set the AA to x4.
Now i have no experience with ATI drivers but i do know that in the nvidia forceware you can set the AF and AA for the BF2 profile. But because of the games limitations i do not believe they actually work. Maybe they do?

G00SE said:u obviously don't need new ram, monitor or hard drives though?
got to be motherboard or cpu!!
Ram:
People in this post seem to be telling me i need 2GB's therefore i would need to spend £200 to get a decent set of 2GB Ram
Hard Drives:
My main drive just died, and i dont trust my backup as i got it at the same time and its the same make, therefore i would need to get 2 new hard drives, and i mares well get decent size hard drives so that would be another £200
Monitor:
I have been thinking of getting a TFT to replace my CRT for a while now, and was just about to anyway when all this happend so that would be £300 for a decent one
£700
Plus if i had to replace Motherboard and CPU..... well my graphics is agp so i would have to replace that to PCI-E.... and if i could find a decent Socket A setup that would still be around £120 so thats £820 and my problem still might exist

Sorry mate, you never said anything of the sort, and don't go and edit one of your posts now to make it look like I'm lying. If you'd said that people might have reacted differently to what you were saying.
Either way I still stand by my case. I'm not trying to lord it over you because I have a better rig, simply trying to help you. Ignore me all you want, it's not going to help your rig work on the latest games.
You also overestimated on the prices a bit. I could get you what you needed, with decent parts, for £500 from here
so yeah, do what you want, not going to help anymore cause your kidding yourself.

Have a go with some omega drivers. A lot of my games ran poo untill i installed omega drivers now i haven't had a game crash since.

do as camalot suggests, some of the omega drivers can be pretty good
