Hi guys,

I have:

Intel 6300 (1.8Ghz (OC to 2.8 stable))
2 GIG DDR 800 (Running DDR 800 - No OC)
2 X 320 HDD
DVD
19" LCD
PCI-E 8800GTX (stock and OC)
Vista 64-bit

If I play Grid then I can go about 1 - 2 laps then it's like a lag in the game. The lag releases in a few sec and the game goes into ULTRA speed mode for a few sec. Crysis is fine and I think it's details is better.

So I checked my Temps... Everything fine. Set my GTX to Stock speeds. Did the same. Set my CPU to Stock speed. Did the same. I Turned down the detail in the game.... Still did the same...

Any Idea what the hell this can be?

Thanks in advance :confused:
 
Is it just grid this is happening?

Turn off the AA in grid and see if that helps. Do all your other games run fine? What drivers are you using? the latest?

I would try getting maybe another 2 gig of ram since your running vista which loves eating all your resources before you even run a game.
 
Yea I usually put the details of the shadows a bit lower coz it usually improves the perf a bit...

AA was turned off... I am download a newer driver now.. Hopefully it will work.

Thanks guys
 
Yea but I don't know if that will cause a freeze for a few secs... Why is all the other games running fine.. Tetris is ok, Minesweeper a bit slow sometimes but otherwise everything runs smooth.. hehe...
 
lol... Will keep that in mind Sharkbait.. lol..

Will let you guys know tomorrow. Thanks...
 
I appears that you only have this problem in Grid? From the benchies that I have seen, Nvidia benches are better than ATI in crysis, but it is the other way around in Grid. Maybe check if there is a update on the game as well?
 
Codecs. Google k-lite mega codec pack or something. It's the only one I use and it works for most of the stuff.
 
or format and install Vista, hehehe.... I downloaded the drive now... Took a while.. 90 Meg... hehe...

Anyway I'll install and see what happens. Thanks for the tips guys (don't now if there's any gals here)
 
Well guys, I did bring all the detail to lowwwwww... Restored default bios settings... Didn't OC anything. Installed the latest Driver from nVidia...

There's no more lagging (even if I OC and put the detail a bit high)

But after a few races the screen will just turn black... Like it still freezzzzzzzes.

Is there any updates for this game???

Thanks
 
Run a dskcheck. Your hard drive could have bad sectors.
 
Nope... I ran that about a week or 2 ago with a defrag...

Installed AVG anti-Virus and spyware and hijackthis... Didn't get anything... I think something is a bit incompatible. Just not to sure what it is...
