Okay, now im not familiar with pcs and the inner workings of it, but im playing F1 and Super Street Fighter without any issues. Im also playing Fear and Avatar, and no lag.

However, when im playing Fifa, i get the occasional lag. This is rather frustrating, as ive put the game on low settings. Is there any idea why this game is lagging? I would have thought, that it would be other way around.

Now i dont now much about my pc, but these are the specs

Intel Core 2 duo E6750 2.66GHz
4GB ram
Asus P5NE-SLI motherboard or something like that
Gigabyte Ati Radeon HD6770 GFX Card
250GB Hard Drive
Win7 ultimate 64bit
 
My guess would be that your CPU is too weak for the ported PlayStation game. The console games that are ported to PC's usually run poorly or you need a beefy machine.

Why don't you run like Process Explorer (or Task Manager), in combination with MSI Afterburner.

That way you can see both the CPU and GPU (graphics card) load.
 
Ported PS game? I dont understand Pada, as this is the original Fifa for PC game which i bought. Could you please explain?

What he means is that Fifa was originally for the PS, which then got redone to work on PC. It might not even be an issue with your pc, sometimes the games just lag. Although most likely suspect would be your CPU
 
The most likely suspect is a poor port, no amount of hardware will help.

Fifa sadly is pushed out for console, they half ass the pc version because they know sales will be low and piracy will be high. Fifa on pc is shyte compared to the console. They make sure the pc version is crap because they want console sales.

In all honesty if you want to jam fifa get a console rather.
 
Aah thanks guys. Ill have a look at Pro Evo, but im guessing it might be the same issue?
 
Fifa 12 has lagging issues with some AMD graphics cards. Try this as a possible fix:

In Catalyst Control Centre, turn OFF 'Wait for vertical refresh'
In Fifaconfig, turn OFF 'VSync'

Should reduce lag but may not eliminate, unfortunately.
 
Sounds like Vsync as Oldhat has pointed out. Also set the Texture quality in fifaconfig to Medium, if it's currently on high.
 
Ill have a look at that. What is catalyst control center, or where do i find this?

CCC (catalyst control center) is AMD's graphics card configuration utility, that should've been installed along with the graphics card drivers, unless you picked the driver installation without that utility.

Quoting for truth and elaborating

Right clicking your desktop will bring the usual drop-down menu, CCC or perhaps 'Vision Control Center' will be displayed on the top of the list

yep vision if you have a amd cpu also installed.
 
I never installed the gfx card, so i wouldnt know. If that option for CCC was not selected as a utility, how can i get it?
 
Depends on what version of CCC you are using, but most likely in a section titled 'Gaming' or '3D Application settings' - you may have to turn ON 'Advanced View' in CCC preferences first though.
