Sudden FPS drops + weird graphic glitch on Altis

[sovietroll 11]

I usually have decent game performance while playing mission on Altis, but very frequently my FPS would suddenly drop to the point where it is unplayable, and every models would turn low res with low polygons counts as shown on this link. I have never experienced this kind of problem on Stratis

Anyone else has the same problem?

My hardware

Window 7 32bit

ATI Radeon HD 5700

AMD Phenom II x4 945 (4cores)

4gb DDR3

Seagate 1TB 6GB/s SATA (on 3Gb/s motherboard)

Looks like a LOD problem... what kind of hard drive is the game running from?

Since the game streams everything from the hard drive as it needs it, a slow drive could cause things like this to happen.

Stuttering, sudden slowdown... textures and hi-res models all coming in too slowly... pretty sure all this can be caused by using a slow hard drive.

Anybody feel free to correct me if I am wrong. :)

PC specification would be extremely useful for us to determine if it is your hardware that is an issue.

Is that a 7200rpm or 5400rpm drive?

32 bit is known to have some issues, and your card is rather old. Your cpu should cope, and your ram is there, but I'd say another 4GB wouldn't go amiss.
