Solve : what is giving me low fps?? |
|
Answer» so when i try to play minecraft i would get about 120 fps in singleplayer and when i try to go to multiplayer i get about 40 (low settings with normal renderdistans). in LoL i get about 55-60fps (highest settings) so im wondering is what is making me getting "low" fps? Has this always been an issue, or is it a recent problem? If it's not always been this way, can you think of anything that has changed?well my last COMPUTER just broke down. i used the graphics card from that computer for a while. i got some fps drops to about 20-30 (had about 60 otherwise) then i bought the new graphics card and its like this. i dident really play much minecraft with the last graphics card. but i got about the same fps in LoL i forgot to add. it DROPS to 40 fps i dont always have 40 fps when i play multiplayer minecraft.Have you monitored resources when gaming such as free memory, available cpu percentage or is it pegged at 100% for all cores etc. I'd be looking for a bottleneck in the setup or something that points out an unusual load on the system to have a direction to troubleshoot. I'd also run memtest86 on the system to make sure that the RAM is all healthy. I'd use CPU-Z to check the memory etc to make sure that the memory sticks are all running at the same speed * Reason why I say this is because I had a RAM stick that was lagging a system down once that was found using CPU-Z to where it was reporting a slower FSB speed. It was a mixed RAM brand and size setup and when I removed this one stick and dropped the RAM from 3GB to 2.5GB by removing the 512MB DDR2 533 Stick when the others were DDR2 667 sticks, the lagging of the system went away on a friends computer. *Memtest86 was ok with the mixed RAM, but this 1 stick caused the lag. His symptoms were jumpy FPS in World of Warcraft on a Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz system with Windows 7 32-bit with 3GB RAM and a GeForce 9800GT video card with 1GB RAM. I told him to go some place in the game where nothing is happening to see what happens, so he left the main city and went to westfall on a flight point, the flight out there he pressed CTRL + R to show the framerate and it was jumping around, but it also showed freeze FRAMING and surging making the game choppy. Knowing that the game up to date on an old Celeron M 1.6Ghz laptop with integrated graphics and 128MB shared memory ran better, I knew there was a issue with his system and it wasnt that his system was out of date in any way for the game and latest game patches etc. Ran SpeedFan on the system and saw that temps were ok... *another thing to check out on your system may be temps. Told him to get latest nVidia drivers first off and he did that and that didnt fix it. He got onto his mount and was just running around westfall in the game and it had that constant allowing frame rate lag and surge that made the game play annoying. Reducing the games video quality to lowest settings also did not fix the issue. I then gave him my GeForce 9500GT card to try out to see if its his video card, and that too had the same problem, so its not the video card. After all the troubleshooting in the end it was caused my a mismatched RAM stick among faster sticks. Dropped him to 2.5GB RAM from the 3GB and the system ran the game like as if it was a brand new computer. Nice strong frame rates with it holding pretty steadly no matter how much was going on in the game. He decided to just remain on 2.5GB RAM on this old computer, however if I come across a 667Mhz DDR2 stick I will give him that to bring the memory back to 3GB. *This may not be your issue, but is worth checking into memory related troubleshooting just in case it is memory related.

If you set it to minitor and then go into application and then window back out of the application it will show the graph of the CPU usage and memory use for the system. Your CPU is a good CPU. It scores really well and should be plenty. I have a friend who plays Minecraft on a Dual Core Sempron 2Ghz without issues and a ATI videocard that can handle the graphics well. He has also served up Minecraft for others to connect to this server and play the game client at the same time and he has 2GB RAM and no issues with gameplay.
