FPS lagg

iWerty · July 2013

So I recently restarted my computer to fabric conditions due to frame lagg I experienced whilst playing. It was all fine before, but then I downloaded a minecraft file and when I went back to crossfire, it all went down from there. Basically every 5 second I get a massive FPS drop from 80 to 30 and it makes the mouse or whatever impossible to control. I then tried to delete the minecraft file that I downloaded but it didn't work. I tried to reinstall crossfire but yet, failed to work. So then I decided, since I don't have anything important on this laptop, to restart it to fabric conditions. But still, no progress..

So my question is if anyone have any sort of solution for this, or what the problem is. I used to have 80 FPS throughout the whole time, but now it drops to 30 every 5 second. Any help whatsoever is appreciated.

Did you try messing with the in-game settings?
You should try if not.
Also make sure your drivers are up to date.

Yes, everything in game is on the lowest settings as usual.
How to I check wether or not my drivers are up to date?

Also, I used to have ~100 FPS 8v8 before, now I'm down to 30-40. Hence that this probelm ONLY occurs when I play Cross Fire.

Oh I guess not, I just started to notice similar "lagg" sequences when I'm browsing as well..

Well if you are running Windows 7 you can just right click on your screen then go to "Screen Resolution" then press on "Advanced Settings" then in the "Adapter" tab press on "Properties"
"Update tab > Update Driver.."
Otherwise you can just go to ATI or Nvidia website and get the newest drivers for your card.

It says that I already got the best drivers for this computer. Also take note that this is a really old laptop..

Is it easy for you to post the Specs of it ?

Uhm if this is what you mean then sure:

Sounds like you might have some overheating issues on your laptop, make sure you are not setting it on a fabric surface, also try to have a cooling pad underneath it. This may help a little, but since the game graphics and all have been upgraded, I would suggest trying lowered game settings to raise fps. Also one trick I have learned is that if you were messing with your graphics cards settings a lot of times that will mess it up. Try setting it to factory default if you changed settings, sometimes that helps. Soo far most of your issues seem like graphics card problems, or overheating issues.
Not to mention that graphics card is insanely out of date, I had a radeon 7500 that barely pulled 120 fps with the latest updates, I would look into getting a geforce 450 or better card, or radeon 6700 or better.

I've done some tests and I've come to a conclusion that it is in fact the FPS that's messing with me. Every 5 second my FPS goes from 80 to 30 for just a second or two, then it goes back to 80 which make it impossible to control the mouse/game. So if anyone know why this could occure, please, help! Also as I said before this only happens to me when I play Cross Fire.
