Problems in Playing Far Cry 2 !

[alex3003]

In my system, Far cry 2 and need for speed under cover is having a "frame skipping" effect that feels like "jumping forward" when in the game play (in all quality settings). I played call of duty modern warfare two and it is running superb with maximum settings.
My machine configuration is :

Intel corei7 920 - 2.66 GHz

8 GB Kingston DDR3 RAM

Intel DX58SO main board

2 X 500 GB Hitachi SATA hard disks

MSI nVidia 9800GT (N9800GT-T2D1G-CO) 1GB.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

ASUS 550W P-55GA power supply

Res is : 1440 x 900

Is V-sync on in the graphic options ?

I did run Far Cry on both directX 10 and 9.. both gave same results..

I tried with and without v-sinc.. but same result.. same "jumping" effect is there..

 

[alex3003]

Also, is it running in dx10 or 9 mode?

I tried both diretX 9 and 10 modes.. but gave me the same results..

 

[alex3003]

I am assuming there does not appear to be any jumps in actual fps numbers and that it runs pretty constant?

Ya.. frame rate runs smooth in the testing mode. but that 'jumping' effect is there.

hmm,is it like a "One-sec periodic lag"? i mean the FPS is the same but for a second the game freezes and again it moves on ?

Exactly. it is not for a one second. but for a very litle time.(less than one second) but can feel it.

Well here are 2 threads with the same subject in another forums:

The recommendations are
1_Setting "Threaded Optimizations" to OFF has helped,(Open the nVidia control panel, go to "Advanced 3D Settings," and set "Threaded Optimization" to "Off." )
2_Set Texture Filtering - Negative LOD to Clamp
3_Set your page file correctly (RAM * 1.5 = PageFile)

Check if they help you or not
