Help!!choppy performance with 8800gtx's

S

my system config:

Intel Core 2 Duo 6700

EVGA NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard

Corsair 2GB DDR2 SDRAM @ 800 mhz
2 EVGA GeForce 8800GTX's 768MB in SLI (Driver Version 158.22)
2 Western Digital Raptors 150GB 10,000 RPM Raid 0
250GB Seagate Barracuda 7,200 RPM
Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy2ZS Platinum Edition
Antec 850W NVIDIA QUAD-SLI APPROVED PSU
Razor Tarantula Keyboard
Razor Copperhead Mouse
WINXP Home Edition SP2 {sorry if it's too long.but i am all excited about owning this PC}

Despite having such a hi-end PC i mostly get an FPS of about 100 in games like Stalker and C&c tiberium wars which is too low.any suggestions would be welcome

First of all C&C tibrium war has a FPS limiter so your FPS will NEVER pass 30.now about S.T.A.L.K.E.R if you are getting 100 FPS , the game is more than playable , you need about 30 fps to play a game ....without stuttring but if you still are compalning, then you should dfrag your hard driver , chkdisk it & stuff like that also on what settings you are playing the game ?

@spinach-guy: In which settings are you playing Stalker?

u must have copy-pasted that config from somewhere else.....its too good to be true

Totally agree man

Dont believe that new comer "Antec 850W NVIDIA QUAD-SLI APPROVED PSU"

Only thing he missed with highest end PC is
QUAD Core Proccy & 8800 Ultra in sli

its my dream machine

@spinach-guy
u call 100fps choppy performance?

try to disable Vertical Sync from Nvidia Control Panel & see if u get more fps.

Vsync is already disabled

hey man, u can't blame us for imagining u must have copy-pasted it from somewhere. such a perfect sys - dual 8800GTX in SLI, 2x150gb raptors in raid 0 and 680i mobo, 850W sli approved antec PSU... with everything so perfect, why not a C2D Q6700 quad?

& the razer gaming gear(tarantula & copperhead), ur comp is almost perfect..
wait...guess u forgot to add a Razer Mantis...

Nice configuration. With this affinity to hardware you defiantly must have a good camera or mobile.
How about us mortals seeing nice picture of your PC ?

Well first of all the full dynamic lightning in Stalker is not to be handled by cards of Geforce 6/7/8 series.ITs for the Geforce 9 series.Please decrease from full dynamic lightning to object Dynamic lightning.That's,it brings the biggest,i mean it,the biggest hit on the performance on 8 series cards.

lol wth.

I just got a new system like 2 days ago, specs:
AMD X2 6000+ CPU
Corsair 2x1Gb PC5300 667Mhz ram
320GB SATAII HD
ASUS Nvidia 640MB 8800GTS
And some antec casey thinggy

and uhh... it runs every single game i could find with good graphics on the highst possible no lag (BF2142 at 100FPS usually)... and thats with Anisotropic filtering on 16x (set in nvidia control panel)... so uhhh. if that really is ur system im pretty sure youll have no probs runnin gANY game curently released lol.

. and uhhh... 100fps seems to be all you need... since uhh... games appear to run smoothly at about 25+

25fps is not true for all games. For doom3 , css and F.E.A.R 25 fps is considered playable and not smooth. 40fps is smooth. For lost planet even 25 fps is smooth enough. It also depends on player of course.

it may be due to overheat problems that can affect the gfx cards performance.
well dual 8800 gtx generates heat like hell.
@spinach you are really unlucky.u hv almost the best pc with best gfx cards(not 1 bt 2)and still u are not satisfied with the performance.
check the heat dissipation.u may need water cooling for such a high end config.

i think it's the vram bug in 8800 cards which nvidia will be fix soon.

so i think i will have to put up with it till july end,when they release a fix
{a new driver version maybe....}

thnx for the update :smile:

did you read my post ? also i wanted to know on what resolution your are playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R, If you don't tell me that i can't really help you.

does the game res. really affect frame rates by much

Yes they do my friend , if you are playing on 1600 x 1400 or something its very likely you will be getting 100 FPS .... so please tell me the game res.

S

i play most games at 720 x 1280 res.

spinach-guy said:

Yes it matters a lot but your monster can handle most games at maximum resoultion.more the resolution the better a game looks good but at the sacrifice of frame rate.

Also the AA and AF also effects the FPS.

More AA+AF= Less FPS

But with 2 GTX in SLI will hardly noticeable at that resolution.
Check how much ur monitor supports max. res.!

S

This is the monitor I have.

Say,Anyone here played Bioshock??.Freakingly awesome game!!

Can you post some pics of your comp??

I still dont get it that why TC thinks 100fps is slow???

^^^ yeah... when sometimes ive to do with <10 fps..

Well this is sure not a wide screen monitor....but thats fine!
Play it on full resolution that ur monitor supports!This resolution with everything full will be enough for even a 8800 GTS(320MB) but u are having 2 8800 GTX in SLI....and u are still worried about FPS!

Antec 850W NVIDIA QUAD-SLI APPROVED PSU
Razor Tarantula Keyboard
