Why does my fps get these wierd lag spikes?

blurryshadow1 · January 14, 2012

I just recently upgraded my graphics card from a ati radeon hd 4200 integrated graphics card to a ati radeon hd 6670 ddr3 1gb and i just cant max out my san andreas for mta completely.

I have to turn off volumetric shadows to get a steady fps, because i get these lag spikes in different areas of the valhalla roleplay map which make me go from 55 to 30 in a second or so when its on and that gets annoying to look at.

although, if i dont move my screen or go anywhere i get the SAME fps as when i have the graphics all low.

i just dont get it... i get 140fps in just the game iteself and 350 in interiors with everything maxed out...

im thinking its my processor which is a amd phenom II dual core 521 3.5ghz processor (found out its a rebranded phenom though, but then i also discovered its like the fastest dual core athlon ever).

I think its my processor because my friend who bought the SAME graphics card (well almost the same, he has the ddr5 version) but with a 3.2 ghz quad core amd phenom II and he gets 76 flat on valhalla which is the fps limit.

i can even run need for speed shift at 60fps all maxed out, dirt 2 maxed out at 55fps, and gta 4 maxed out at 30fps. and dead space maxed out at the fps limit which is 30.

so mta needs a quad core processor to get steady fps or what?..... Can anyone help me out?

Try going to Control Panel -> Power Options -> expand "Show Additional Plans" -> select "High Performance" and see if things improve.

blurryshadow1 · January 15, 2012

it was already at high performance ..

is there anything else i can do?

blurryshadow1 · March 11, 2012

Uh... lol? figured it out yet? Im still having this issue

Towncivilian · March 11, 2012

Please download and run MTADiag, follow the instructions, paste its generated log file at PasteBin, then link to that paste here.

blurryshadow1 · March 11, 2012

here, http://pastebin.com/2KiZsUM8 (btw, thats pretty cool little program town)

Towncivilian · March 11, 2012

Please install the following:

Graphics driver
Audio driver
Ethernet driver (do a Repair install if prompted)
Chipset drivers

Provide another MTADiag log after installing.

What does "San_Andreas_FPS_Increaser.exe" do?

blurryshadow1 · March 11, 2012

Oh lol, thats just a little program that says it can boost the fps but i dont think its working. heres some info on it http://www.gtastunting.net/index.php?topic=53932.0

Towncivilian · March 11, 2012

I'd advise against using it. The delay between frames is likely intentional and unexpected results can occur without it.

blurryshadow1 · March 11, 2012

Okay done, downloaded all the drivers. (amd catalyst doesnt work tho, it says it cant be started because theres no settings. It worked back then tho when i first installed my new graphics card a couple months ago)

heres the mtadiag http://pastebin.com/YWGPTap6

Towncivilian · March 11, 2012

OK, the drivers installed properly except for the audio driver. Try installing that one again.

What's the D3D9.dll for in your GTASA directory?

blurryshadow1 · March 11, 2012

Oh, the audio driver issue might be because of the srs audio sandbox program i have that makes the audio sound a million times better, its got its own audio driver.

and d3d9.dll is the mta addon called ultrathing from here, http://plod.mooo.com/#ultrathingy its basicly like a bare bones enb series without any fps loss.

Towncivilian · March 11, 2012

No, this driver is separate, just try installing it again.

Temporarily remove the D3D9.dll and see if your FPS improves.

blurryshadow1 · March 11, 2012

my fps is the same with d3d9.dll removed. Okay, i tried installing it again. heres another mtadiag. http://pastebin.com/zxT6u1pE

Towncivilian · March 11, 2012

The driver installed properly this time.

blurryshadow1 · March 11, 2012

ah okay, what do i do now town? i still have this issue... do i have to go buy a better cpu or what?

Jaysds1 · March 11, 2012

Now try reinstalling MTA

Towncivilian · March 11, 2012

The "FPS Increaser" is already being done by MTA:SA since 2011, get rid of it.

Please reinstall GTA:SA and do not apply any modifications and see whether your FPS improves. You have too many variables, between the various ASI files and the modified GTA3.img.

blurryshadow1 · March 13, 2012

I tried it without any mods, and its still pretty much the same.. (well, from what i can see...)

Towncivilian · March 14, 2012

Could you try to record a video of typical gameplay where your FPS fluctuates significantly?

blurryshadow1 · March 15, 2012

ive been getting some help from PC forums, and they are telling me it could be a video driver issue. i mentioned that my graphics card software stopped working..

it keeps saying amd vision engine control center cannot be started, because there are no settings or something like that...

do you have any idea town on how to get the software working again? without reinstalling windows 7?

ive already tried reinstalling the drivers but its not working... i tried using driversweeper and then tried installing it but then my usb keyboard and mouse wouldnt work anymore on windows. it would work in the bios and bootscreen though so i would be able to access system restore....

Towncivilian · March 15, 2012

Sounds like driver sweeper caused some issues, so do a system restore and get USB working first. Also ignore those PC forums, please, we don't need more variables in our attempts to solve your issues. Once you've got things working again, perhaps I can connect to your computer using TeamViewer and see what I can do to fix your graphics driver issue.

Why does my fps get these wierd lag spikes?
