Twisted DIRT Forums

I told myself i wasnt going to post on TD again b/c of some of the people on it are post-happy and are useless, but i need help here and i dont want ur help Bunny so dont even think about posting here. N e ways. I just built my new comp:

AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Newcastle 800MHz FSB Socket 754 Processor
DFI LANPARTY UT nF3 250Gb Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce3 250GB ATX AMD Motherboard

LITE-ON Black 52X CD-R 32X CD-RW 52X CD-ROM 2M Cache IDE CD Burner
MSI Radeon 9600PRO 128MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card

System: 85*F

My old computer was
Xp2100+
512DDR
80-gb HDD
ati9000128MB ddr
Abit Mobo

Well my problem is im getting bad lag in some track with my new video card (ATI9600 Pro). On my old system (Ati9000) I was able to run the same tracks with NO lag at all. It was O/C a little but not much. On one of Steve's tracks (STC007), I was hitting 74 FPS (Ati9600 Pro) and i was getting lag. Thats with my new system. With my old system, I would run the same track lag free. Anyone knwo what the problem could be?

i dont now if this will help u but for my AIW 9800 Pro i use an overclocking program to make it run better check it out here

Hmm in ur graphics card's settings turn V-Sync off

kool it worked thanks. i have another problem, but i need my digi camera to show u guys, so il post pics when i get batteries

If your system can maintain FPS at your monitors refresh rate setting with vsync on MCM2 will play smoother and not jump the FPS up and down like with vysnc off.

I'd rather have my FPS to be at a constant 85 FPS then jumping around from 100 to 170 etc which causes lag and the actual game physics to change during game play.

I'm not sure if you guys know this, but having over 100 FPS in MCM2 riding around very tight berms like on my US OPEN 01 and Twisted SX Night etc causes the bike to slow down a lot. On bigger tracks or flat tight corners it doesn't seem to affect the bike at all, I found this out years ago when I built my new PC and testing MCM2 on US OPEN SX 01 before a tourney.
