Ryan_D 0 Posted September 19, 2007 i'm getting mouse lag in arma, i move to the left and i takes about half a sec till it moves, and when i stop the mouse, same thing - half a sec till it stops... apparently changing a setting "render frames ahead" from 3 to 0 will improve performance and fix (or help) the mouse lag. i've googled it, everyone says to do it and it'll improve performance, but can't find out how. so for my question, where can i change the setting from 3 to 0.

NeMeSiS 11 Posted September 19, 2007 If you have an nVidia card and windowsXP: Get coolbits (You can find the setting only in the classic control panel) Nvidia+Vista: ?? (Maybe Rivatuner) Ati: Ati Tray Tools (Note that Ati calls this setting 'Flip queue size' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troop 0 Posted September 19, 2007 In addition (NVidia card), check for the little app 'NVTray' NVTray_1.0.5.1-B4 which will allow you to doubleclick trayicon to enable coolbits and also enables the classic control panel (if you want it) With an rightclick, you get to setup for example render ahead frames easily. And yes, of course RivaTuner 2.04 for more controls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_D 0 Posted September 19, 2007 Got it sorted out, thx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lepardi 0 Posted October 23, 2007 So what program with can I change it from 3 to 0? Oh and other thing, does this happen with ATI card, cos I'm getting a 2900Pro soon?? I have a terrible mouse lag in armed assault now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lepardi 0 Posted October 23, 2007 I saw a prerender something setting in rivatuner, but it's in VSync setting. Is it right? It helps a bit with VSync, but I play without. E: It works! And much better. Thx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rundll.exe 12 Posted October 24, 2007 Thanx! this really made the mouse response better! I got Rivatuner and disabled the Vsync. I set the buffer to 0, but that crashes the whole system. Set it to 1 now, and works great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted October 24, 2007 Just on a side note, RivaTuner 2.05 is out, and a worthy download (de-links core and shader clocks ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ti0n3r Posted October 24, 2007 If I set render frames ahead to 0, my PC goes blue screen -> death as soon as I launch ArmA. But setting it to 1 works OK. Any clues to why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rundll.exe 12 Posted October 24, 2007 I got the same. Seems disabling Vsync and render frames ahead 0 doesnt work at same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troop 0 Posted October 25, 2007 (rundll.exe @ Oct. 24 2007,17:27) said: I got the same. Seems disabling Vsync and render frames ahead 0 doesnt work at same time. Setting '0' is unsupported from driver level (exactly because of the instability) and even if Rivatuner is capable of 'forcing' the value, it is *not* recommended to do so. Standard setting on every fresh driver install (keep that in mind) is '3' ..depending on your setup, use 1 or 2. (using 2 here myself) - Also observe, that not every game engine benefits from the lowest possible (= stable/fastest) setting;..there are as well some engines, which perform best with values even above '3' However, I think '6' is the highest setting you should ever use, because beyond that, everything exhibits bad mouse lag and other problems (like sound skipping etc.) So, for always peak performance (per different engine), its favorable to set up an profile for each and every game you play using nHancer, for example. One setting is just not optimal for everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rundll.exe 12 Posted October 30, 2007 Thx for clearing that up, Seem I need to create game profiles then. BTW I recommend everyone with fps around 15, to do this trick, it really enhances your aiming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lepardi 0 Posted October 31, 2007 0 crashes your pc everytime you start arma. 1-2 works fine, didn't notice the difference between those two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
