Low FPS overall on good equipment

[karambaitos]

Nope, not running in compatibility mode. Always running as an admin and gamebooster and those programs do nothing but just clog up a bit of memory. I tried some of those ''magic programs'' but they're just full of shit if I may be so polite.

U Y NO READ

use game boosters defrager select battlefield and let it defrag it, its faster than defraging the entire disk, it wont help much but a bit of performance might be gained, and they do help if you havent turned off all the windows **** your self, and if you dont have a lot of ram (3gb or less depending on the game), if you have turned of the windows stuff your self then they wont do much of anything.

you should also reinstalling BF2 completely

Hehe, I be reading dude!
But I did try defragging, I'll maybe defrag my entire disks again sometime soon.
And as to the reinstalling, I just reinstalled my windows recently and installed PR immediately and tried it. Still shitty FPS. It just seems as if my PC just doesn't want to run PR at 60 FPS steady no matter what I do or try.

Fallujah West. It's the mother of all laggy maps.

I really need to comment this one as for me Kokan appears to be the ultimate fps destroyer of all maps. I don't know if something has changed there because when Kokan was released, it worked just fine.

I don't understand how people experience lag on Fallujah because for me it's runs as fine as the other maps excluding Kokan. R-devs got something to say to help me/us understand this?

Note that changing any app priority from normal to any setting, especially high might lead to undesirable effects. I tried that once and my sound was choppy game was laggy. It might work for you, try it, if not get it back to normal. Affinity is fine just set it to any core ( just one of them )

Well, i suppose i should have warned of this. Above normal setting is usually fine but i know that many people get sound issues when set to high. (For some odd reason i don't have that problem)

Yeah, but I have better rig than you and still oftentimes low FPS. I'm running mostly high and some settings medium (dynamic shadows and lightning) and 2x AA on 1920*1200.

Theres nothing wrong with the flash I did on my videocard, works in every other game just fine. And I already tried it before I did the flash, same FPS. When I zoom in though I get a HUUGEEE FPS boost. Normally on my previous PC I would get a FPS drop..

I'm running my CPU on 3.01 Ghz now, don't know what it could be.

I've noticed the FPS boost when i zoom in as well. In fact i get the same reslut just about every time. Framerate almost always doubles instantly.

Varies. For example again, in Kokan, Zooming in with either binocs or ACOG makes the fps collapse dramatically.

For us it doesn't, it seems as if when you zoom in the CPU load collapses drastically and the GPU load rises through the sky. At least that's the only logical explanation for it.

Now that we know that we've got plenty, plenty GPU power as headroom the logical step is to figure out how to reduce the CPU load in unzoomed mode..
