Game trouble

[FlyinHigh]

Hey i was wondering if anyone could tell me why when i play by myself or online an regardless of grapahic settings i get like a skip while im playing. Now it ran fine during the ax race last night with 70 people in the server on next to maxed graphics, completely smooth. However even if i go into a sx or national (anything not super tiny) the game has a skip to it. i noticed this after i one day tried to mess with my nvidia settings. It continued to do it even after i reset it all back to the way it was and run really low graphics. I just dont understand... if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

use drive sweeper to clean and then reinstall the drivers. that may help

If your textures don't fit in graphics memory, it will stutter every time it copies a texture to the graphics card. Lower "Model Texture Detail" to solve this.

If you have "Ground Texture Resolution" set too high it can also cause a slow frame when it updates the ground textures. If it's smooth when you're stationary but stutters when you move that's probably the problem.

the thing is jlv ik my cards arnt lacking becuase my buddys pc did the same thing and i ran last nights race on next to full settings with a 512x512 resoulution and everything else about maxed out with 70 ppl in the server and my game ran 100% smoothly with no issues at all, then when i go on a sx by myself even it skips. usually the skip happens when i accelerate or slow down.

is your screenshot button happen to be one of those buttons

Anyone remember who it was who had this issue?

[jlv]

I forget who it was but that was a pretty funny one!

Flying, all I'm doing is listing the things that can cause a framerate hitch. It's hard to say what the exact culprit is. Using Prodigy's example, someone had their screenshot and throttle on the same key and it obviously wasn't the first thing you'd think of!

[FlyinHigh]

nah lol, im currently re-installing my graphics drivers to see if that makes a difference and usually it starts skippin when i exit the start and start hitting jumps and stuff along with slowing down and accelerating like i said before.

[FlyinHigh]

well they arnt on the same button lol. keep the screenshot on my keyboard. i honestly just have no idea what the problem is.

I assume you tried lowering the texture settings and it didn't help?

[FlyinHigh]

yeah

2x gtx260's
12gb ram
1TB HDD
800w psu

my pc was just finished being built last week, and the only thing lacking here could be my graphics but them together equal about 1 560ti so ik im good when it comes to the parts.

You realize that this game only runs off of one graphics card right? So basically you have only one card at use...

He's telling the truth.

Were you the one in 02 yesterday saying that you have a 1400 dollar computer??
