MTA freezes for 5 secs next to a car pickup

[aTastyCookie]

Well, it's easy, i just formatted my pc this morning because of a virus, now i installed the drivers etc... but ingame, when am next to a car pickup, or just while driving around, the screen freezes for 1 to 6 secs, causing major fps drops and everyone passes me and it annoys me. I wasn't finding such problems before formating the pc, so could i know what is the problem? is it from the cpu, gpu or the hard drive?

my pc : dual core E2220 2.2 ghz

radeon HD 5570 1 GB DDR2

2 gb ddr2 ram

Sorry for the long answer, i actually fixed most of the problem, i formated my pc again, changed sata cables of the hardrive on the motherboard, cleaned my cpu fan etc, it got better, but now, it doesn't lag next to a car pickup, from time to time it tend to drop for about 0.5s which annoys me on clanwars, because everyone passes me. I hadn't this problem on the previous official update of mta 1.3, before this new one, however here is the dxdiag

ok, try running Microsoft Update and update the required and optional drivers, then try MTA Again,

If the problem persist, Try setting your Res to the highest, and set your streaming memory to 300.

Which is the best, setting streaming memory to max or to lowest? I am going to max out all the settings on mta and see if it still lags, cuz i can run MW2 on max, no way that i cant run this game with lags

[Jaysds1]

well, there has to be lags on some servers, because the internet or game hosting service can't give all the internet to one server, so it might be the server but if others are faster than you then there's something wrong.

Anyways, Try this AMD Driver Updater

All my drivers are up to date, anyways the funny thing is that, on 1440x900 res, FX quality set to very high, and draw distance to 90% + the streaming memory up to 550, it performs better, with a max GPU utilistation of 60% and cpu 50%, but it still fps drops a little bit

[Jaysds1]

oh, I don't know if I can think of anything about that, if you put everything to the max, How's it suppose to lag???

[Towncivilian]

Your drivers aren't up-to-date.

Please install the following:

• Graphics driver
  
• Audio driver
  
• Chipset drivers
  
• BIOS 1.14
  
• Latest patch of MTA:SA
  
• Latest DirectX runtimes

Provide another dxdiag log after installing.
