<p>Ok here is the deal,</p><p>I have a P4 3gig CPU with hyperthearding/turned on, 3gig ram,Gforce 7600GT(AGP) with 256 mb, new 600W PSU(just in yesterday)Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS, Win XP SP2.</p><p>I did the following tests to see where I start to have lag problemsas well as the drop in frame rates.</p><p>Extream Performance:FPS: 120 solidEQ2 is uglyNo problems with stutteringVerry High Performance:FPS: 780-80EQ looks a little better,No problems with stuttering.</p><p>High Performance:Still hovering around 70FPSEQ2 is starting to look good!Still little problems with stuttering</p><p>Balanced:FPS: 10-15EQ2 Looks greatstutters badly!Balanced with Flora off:FPS: 40-60No differance in looks except no floraStutters about the same as high performace</p><p>From here on out flora as well asenviromental shadows are turned off asboth those kill my frame rates</p><p> High Quality:FPS: 40-60EQ2 still looks the sameStutters are a little more pronouncedVery High QualityFPS: 20-30Don't see not visual changeStutters more frequentlyExream QualityFPS: 10-15Still don't see any differanceVery bad stuttering.</p><p>Now I noticed when I stutter, it is about whereit is loading.Example:When running acrross antonica from the bell, after you pass under the aquaduct heading to the orical placeit stutters there, then passing the orical tower it does itagain.So is there a way to load more textures into memory?I belive that is where this stuttering is coming from.I understand my PC is getting old, I am planingto build a new one but need this to work good enough till that time.</p><p>also I can't say if it is since GU44 as I have just re-opened my accountthe day it was released, been gone for 1 year or so.I hope this thread makes since, I always have a hard time explaning myselfif it don't sorry...</p>
