Question 4890 and prototype major slow down in framerates

[siumatfung]

i have just installed prototype and started playing it

the game is awesome but does anyone else get any huge slow down and stutters in framerates when playing the game?

i have it running at 2048x1152 all max settings normally frames are about 50-60

my rig in sig

thanks in advance

i have similar probs with this game using 4890 i then added a second last night and i have the same problems

i dont get massive slowdowns however. but the game is sometimes jerky when the camera is moving around.
im guessing its the game that has been badly optimized

would it be the lack of physX???

I get no such slowdowns....are you positive it's a gpu problem?

 

[siumatfung]

could it be vista 64?

what res and settings u running it on?

 

[gurusan]

I'm using Windows 7 and cat 9.6 drivers...and same settings as you. 2048x1152 resolution and max settings with 4xAA

 

[siumatfung]

any ideas then?

power supply?

bad overclock?(although i do not get any issues on grid or any other games)

or this is how bad quadcores cope with games?

i get a frezze for about a min or so, after that little pause everything is smooth again, on vista 64 and 8600gts

im going to have a look on the forums as this problem cant be both are rigs

after reading the forums briefly, it seems a few other ppl with high end rigs are having similar problems

kmufc77 thankyou for the link however its too much reading for me i would appreciate it if you share any of your findings

 

[kmufc77]

one thing which ppl have found if you disable any HID devices in device manager that are not being used this has helped to stop the jerky frames.
make sure you dont disable your mouse and keyboard.

Im not going to bother with this as im not prepared to do this every time i want to play a game let me know if this works?
