FPS solution that's worked for me.

[Stublerone]

I saw it 6 GB is enough at the moment.

But I do not want to discuss, which card is faster. Over all games with both fully overclocked to a speed, where nearly all serial production models of both cards are able to reach and with 1680x1050 and even 1920x1080, both cards are fighting closely. So it is not faster than mine or mine is not faster than yours.

But I have a card which bust your card at higher res. As I will run CloD on triple 27" monitors soon, the ati is my shot.

And missing BIOS entries for new pci-e speed, the lag of gpgpu units and the memory, which is to low for high end and for CloD causes me to buy the ati. For that price, they are currently just getting some new customers not aware of the current market. Your buy is nott wrong, but with such a price and officially stated lack of some normal features (this card is shrinked in its features) is just to show a good alternative to the ati card, until they will introduce the big kepler.

So, u nearly buy 3/4 of a graphics card for the money of 1 1/4 of a same performing alternative. I personally do not want to do that.

In that it will optimize your PC for those who don't know how to optimize thier PC.. It turns off alot of background stuff that 'may' be the cause of why you with your hardware is getting less FPS than someone else with the same hardware

Ace of Aces- I've tried gamebooster varients over time & had no real luck boosting speed BUT what has happened is that it has played tricks by putting my PC into sleep mode after about 5 minutes of non-use & then after doing this repeatedly over the course of a day ,stops PC completely with a blank screen,& requires me to go thru a series of reboots to get the PC up & operating again.To stop all this nonsense & must do a system restore.Now,of course it could just be a glitch in my PC setup , but I do wonder if othrs have experienced similar problems & overcome them when they set up this neat utility?

Perhaps you could post up your specs (incl Op. Sys), so we could take a look at see what may be causing your grief?

Is this adequate?

The 9800GT is probably getting a bit light these days...
but, what is your motherboard, processor, soundcard, how much memory is installed and how much RAM is on your 9800GT, etc?

Disable Hyperthread do the trick for me also:
Less stuttering and more fps on my i7-920@3.6ghz.

Thanks!

It's in the bios pressing delete as you start your Pc. Mine was in advanced frequency setting and then Advanced core setting, it was under Multithreading, but if you have it yours might just say Hyperthreading or it could be the same as mine.

How i fixed my frame rate problem.

well i had huge problem frame rate get down as low as fps1.

i also notice i was get nivida driver problem from the time added the first update.
so i down load a new driver and and still had the same problem.
even try the new deta driver and still had problem with fps and driver problems.

After check on the net there could be an problem with its installation with drivers.

so i went to window uninstaller and start to remove anythng that had nivida i a hope to get a clean install.
leaving the video driver to last i uninstalled it and did the restart and it just happen just by luck window notice that i don't have a video drive and started to find one and down load and install it.
What drive it installed i don't know but what i do know for the game it work like a charm and getting the best fps i have ever had with an average of fps 53 and when dog fight with a 109 with flake the the game don't get below fps 16 and this is a big difference to what i had before.

6 GB of RAM is not enough for any game in Win7.

Though, I've found out that even 8 are not enough, if you are disabling your pagefile and have 40 Chrome tabs running underneath.

With 16BG though, I haven't got yet any system memory low warning.. yet

Hyperthreading is an Intel technology which add a virtual core on each processor's real core. The result is tat it is doubling the cores, but that's not too ok for unoptimized multicore applications. Clustering a real and a virtual core running on same core, and leaving other real cores unloaded will lead to performance loss. Usuallu, the operating system is the one which should do all this job, and split the requests amongst the real cores first, but it never worked fine in intensive applications. And there are no applications, or very few, which are managing their load on different cores by themselves.
