Stewy 1 Posted April 30, 2010 G'day guys, Can you help me with this problem. I've just bought a new rig (a power surge killed my last one) and I keep getting spikes in lag whenever things happen in ArmA1 (and 2) If baddies come over the hill -there's a brief stutter... If I go an auto burst - there's a brief stutter... in FS2004, if someone speaks on the radio - there's a brief a stutter... By rights, my rig should be smashing Arma1 and 2 and Fs2004, but the "spike lags" are a pain in the ar$e! Can you help please? Should I take it back to the store? My rig: Intel Quad Core at 3.33 GHz Windows 7 64 bit 6 Gig of RAM 2x Nividia GTX 275 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1052 Posted April 30, 2010 Mate, send me your rig and I give you mine :D We almost have the same setup, except that I have an old Q9550 @ 2.8 GHz and just one GTX280. I run ArmA2 without any compatibility settings and it just runs fine. With ArmA1 I must use below settings/parameters to make it run: - Run as administrator - Run in XP compatibility mode - Add the -dsound parameter to the ArmA shortcut Guess the CPU is an i7 one? There are quite a few threads in ArmA2 troubleshooting dealing with i7 performance problems. From what I recall disabling Hyperthreading in BIOS might help. Could also be the SLI setup.

Stewy 1 Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks Wolle for your help, Sir. I'll check that out! ;) Stew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johncage 30 Posted May 6, 2010 ht helps with bad performance, but the micro stutter is still there. and that can be more annoying than low fps tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewy 1 Posted May 7, 2010 Thanks guys, I'm toying with the idea of even going back to XP - at least that won't chew the power as much! I never had problems with micro-stutter with XP... I really only use the comp for A1, Fs2004, internet and a bit of MS office work- so W7 is a bit of overkill... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3159 Posted May 7, 2010 Stewy: don't, W7 works great with A2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
