6880p in benchmark but still it feels choppy?

[-=anders=- 0]

Since I changed GFX card from my Ti4400 to my new 9800PRO I felt like I were having lower fps than I had with my Ti4400.

Well It doesn't seem that I have 30fps but it doesn't feel all the same smooth like I were having with my Ti4400.

So I started to wonder what could be wrong and maybe there was some kind of ATI fix for the smooth fps.

And I won't give up cause if I've spent much money on a good GFX card I wan't THIS to be BETTER than my old card ffs!

I have done a totally fresh install of OFP including latest patches and so on.

All my other games works great, to mention Max Payne2, H&D2, Raven Shield etc.

So don't you think it's kinda weird ehn I have 6880points in CPU benchmark and the GFX feel choppy.

I want at least 100fps when standing blank in Desert Island with nothing more than a soldier himself.

So all you 9800pro guys, give me some clues on what could be done, OK?

HMm.... I can't find anything relating stuttering and choopy problems...

This is the first item that comes up on a search for "Stutter" at The FAQ.

I have no idea how you're not getting it.

i actually experience/d the same thing. tried the fixes and came to the conclusion that after all radeons suks.

Frame rate in OFP seems to be more about your processor/memory bandwidth than your video card. A good video card helps, but a faster processor/memory bandwidth helps more.

What are your complete specs, and what settings are you using?

Edit: Oh I see that you said you have a 6880 benchmark. That indicates that you have a fast processor. You can ignore my first remark, but I'm still interested in the settings you are trying to use.

Radeons don't suck, ESPECIALLY a 9800 Pro, dunno what your problem is though, maybe it's the drivers? Or your preferences were set too high?

Specs:

- ASUS A7N8X Deluxe rev. 2.0

- XP2400+ @ 2.2GHz

- 1024MB TwinMos Winbond PC3200

- Sapphire 9800Pro 128MB

- Audigy2 Platinum

I think that's all you need to know...

AHA AMD thats your problem right there

Seriously though post your ofp.config file in NOTEPAD format here and also userinfo.cfg too (found in your user/yourname folder)

I aint changing my ti4200 128mg, you guys tell me what is the best DX9 card regarding reliability, performance and price , yep it is wiser to wait...

[-=anders=- 0]

Hmm... Well this is fucking weird, but listen:

It all went smooth after turning on more programs like irc and icq. And when I only started OFP it wnet back to the choppy feeling again.

Seems like the memory wants more to deal with. I'm I right?

Gonna check it out and comfirm...

I was going to get a Radeon, but after hearing about all the problems with those cards (here, hardware forums, usenet, etc), I got a Chaintech Geforce FX 5900 non-ultra w/ video-in for $240. It's now overclocked to Ultra speeds and has not had any compatibility problems or excess heat. Radeons might be faster in some ways, and they do have slightly better visual quality, but I think Nvidia's driver stability make up for the speed difference.

This is not to bash ATI users, if you got your card to work flawlessly, then that's great, I just didn't want to take the risk of getting a $200 dud.

So hopefully this will help you decide in some small way what card to get?

bad choise choosing a fx card lol

radeon is 1000000000000000000000000000000000 times better

Better quality on graphic and SMOOTHER graphics.....muha..sry to say but in MY opetuinity u did a bad choise

Radeon 9800 pro Forever!

[Nathanz 0]

When you changed to your 9800 did you uninstall all nvidia drivers ?

Also in other games do they run fast at high detail ?

The Audigy 2 Platinum will hit your CPU. Try the soundstorm on the motherboard, it's even better.

I have the same mobo and sound card. I use the Soundstorm as the primary audio card, and enable digital out (But NOT Dolby Digital - it loses sync). Then I have a SPDIF (ie RCA) cable linking to the Platinum's front box. From there I spit out a nice pair of stereo headphones, or use my Zalman 5.1 headphones in the analog Soundstorm ports. The key to this is that all the Audigy 2 effects need to be disabled. To be honest, I bought the Audigy 2 only for the digital ports for my MD.

I presume that your memory is 2x 512mb sticks. Did you place them in seperate channels? Also you may have a garbled windows swapfile. Confused lots of memory is worse than clean little memory. A defrag could help too.

We do need the 2 cfg's to look at, also a report of the specific advanced video settings, such as AA/AS and mipmapping specificly.

Thank you.

How did I know this would turn into a Nvidia/Ati bashfest.

How can you tell him he's made a bad 'choise', when he's happy with his card?

@-=anders=-: Can you run try running OFPMark 2 and posting your results? This will give us a good idea of how your performance really is.

yup- its recomanded

If u have Nvidna and ati drivers installed at once, it may not work as it shall. So uninstall ur drivers manually with add remove or use Drivercleaner2 www.driverheaven.com

good luck

ps: install cat 3.10 beta

KK!

- I'm running 2x512MB in Dual Channel (The two blue slots...)

- I really don't think by changing to the Soundstorm would increase performance that much, so I will stick to my Audigy2 in any case cause every other game I have works great with it.

- I'm using the latest Cat. 3.9(10) with mipmap levels set at highest on both Direct3D and OpenGL.

Truform is OFF

V-Sync always ON

AF and AA is OFF

- What do you mean with "Also you may have a garbled windows swapfile"? Anything I could change? I think I have WindowsXP to deal with that fro me. Is that stupied? THen Plz tell me what is should be...

- What cfg's do you need? User and...? Must ask what is "W-buffer"?

YOU MAKE BABY JESUS CRY.

You like both Intel AND ATI? YOU ARE SATAN!!!!

<s>You'r terraingrid, which corrosponds to "terrain detail" in your settings, is on "very high" - lower the terrain detail to "high" - or "normal". This is what's causing your choppiness.

Sorry, but "very high" terrain detail is not playable on ANY current system.</s>

Oops nevermind.

[Kuja- 0]

No it's not. From memory:

12.5m = normal

10m = high

7.5m = very high

[toadlife 3]

No it's not. From memory:

12.5m = normal

10m = high

7.5m = very high

Yes you're right, I was mistaken.

Theya re in multiples of two:

50 = Very Low

25 = Low

12.5m = normal

6.25 = high

3.125 = very high
