| high latency Hello,
My sons computer has a very difficult time playing games such as GTA 4 (i hink) and battlefield 3. It slows to the point of unplayable immediately upon entering any game.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
It is a simple computer with 8GB RAM and a Radeon 4750 graphics card. Nothing added or anything special to it. |

Seaford, DE | Post the whole specs. It's probably because of your CPU or lack of. Both games take a lot of CPU and will buckle with ultra low fps if isn't up to par. That video card is probably a bottleneck also depending on what resolution you play.
See if you can open task manager and see if you're hitting 100% on cpu when playing. |

Re: high latency windows 7
radeon 4250 not 4750
8GB RAM
AMD Athlon II x2 215 dual core proc
yes it hits almost 100% CPU |

The CPU and video card are creating a bottleneck. If you can back off the resolution and graphics settings a bit it might help. I've spent a long time messing with GTA4 and know its highly CPU reliant and GPU also. A quad is better for these 2 games mentioned.
I assume you just bought these and its been that way since you installed or is it possible these problems just started happening?
I can't comment on BF3 much but I know (and GTA4 being a lot older) that your system is struggling. My gut tells me your maxed out on the current setup and hit a wall.

Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, all right. We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some funkin' muscle.

What is the make and model of the motherboard, if you don't know it you can use CPU-Z to get that information.

CPU and graphics card are *hands down* not powerful enough to handle battlefield 3. You'll need a much better CPU and graphics card to run it --- even minimally.
The fact you're seeing it with GTA4 suggests something else could be wrong with the computer.
Your CPU also barely matches the minimum requirements to play GTA4 . . . try not to have anything else open or running when you start it.
Other than that, you simply have a poor CPU and graphics card that won't play either of the above games well.
If you have played GTA4 in the past on the same computer without issue, then I suspect a virus or worm is the culprit. |
