Question

Posted

I recently built a new computer and I feel its really good. win7 64, I7 2.8gh, 4g ram, 300mb hd, ATI Radeon HD 5700. However i feel like my graphics are sad to watch and i get choppy game play with lots of choke. I was looking at this website and it mentioned an item called Game Booster (http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html). So i was wondering would something like this benefit myself to get better game play?

Another question, can having my graphics maxed in DoD:S mess up my gameplay? I always figured better graphics would equal better accuracy but i dont know anymore.

Turn on Vertical Sync in the graphics settings of DoD. That should stop any screen tear, which could be the "choppyness" you're talking about.

Also, 300MB Hard drive, how'd you fit an OS on that :P? I take it you mean 300GB?

Gamebooster will help a little from what I've heard, but most implementations I've heard of it are to squeeze a few more years out of older computers for broke gamers.

Also, stupid question but is your Graphics Card plugged into you Power Supply properly?

Getting a lot of choke usually is because of improper net related settings for your system, but can imply other issues too. (I would say 'maybe your graphics are under powered - but your PC is great)

With how new your system is, and how powerful it is - you shouldn't be getting 'choppy' graphics at all. I play on a system that has a graphics card with only 1/4th of that GPU power and my graphics are flawless 98% of the time.

1st - Update your drivers. YES, this is VERY important. Make sure they're ALL up to date. Takes a little time, but it's COMPLETELY necessary and will help greatly with making sure they are NOT the issue.

Also, again, when you get a new system, it's very important to setup the game settings to your individual PC. Just looking online and finding 'perfect settings' for some other guy, with some other PC, won't work for you. Often times it will cause WORSE game play for you!

There is a lot of documentation out there on lowering your lerp, yet keeping your choke in acceptable ranges (0 if possible, but up to around 10-12 choke under heavy fire with tons of people around is still moderately acceptable). Anything significantly higher and you WILL notice terrible bullet registration etc.

I believe the formula used by Valve is:

cl_interp_ratio/cl_updaterate = cl_interp

With regards to your choke, and the fact that your graphics are very choppy, my FIRST inclination is that it's a driver issue. Because most of the settings that effect your choke - don't do jack squat for your graphics. So the fact your getting TONS of choke, as well as choppy graphics (with such a great graphics card) really points towards drivers...

If you're 100% beyond positive that your drivers are COMPLETELY up to date, then we'll have to bark up another tree :)

Hope this helps!

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
