Need for speed Underground

[knight2000]

Hi guys, i just started to play games again cuz now I BELIEVE i have a decent system, well i think so. Anyway my problems is that the video in some games, more noticeable on NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUN is not smooth. I mean the quality is fine but when youre playing every once in a while seems like the game has to load the graphics and that causes liks a pause in the game, is like prolly half of second but its getting anoying. So if someone have some advices please let me know. Thanks

If you think it's loading textures while your racing did you do a full install of the game? Try defragging your hard drive.

BTW, is it a pause or a drop in frame rate. If its with frame rate try lowering the quality settings in the games to get smoother game play.

My system is decent, and plays most games at max settings in 1280x1024 at good frame rates, however I expeirenced the same thing in Need For Speed Underground, everything looks great, and still runs smoothly for me, however my frame rates are rather low, less than half what they are in other games.
