Radeon 9800 XT settings for Choppiness

Recommended Posts

Is there anyone out there with the same video card that has made adjustments to cure the choppiness? I have a Dell XPS 2nd Generation Computer.

I used to have Radeon's all my PC life, then recently went with an Nvidia 6800 GT....On either card with MVP '04, I never had these "infield" choppiness issues. Now, the XT is even faster than the 6800 GT, and the settings "could" be very similar. I have tried from underclocking to overclocking of the video card, to adjusting AA/AF settings, no better results. The only thing I found to be true in terms of AA/AF, the grass does look more acceptable with a higher setting there. Currently I am @ 6800 Ultra speeds (400/1.10Ghz), 4xAA, 4xAF...still get the choppiness, and I also think it is related to EA's camera movement. Seems sometimes if it can view it all in one angle, there is no choppiness. :?

I have the same card, but I can't really fix the choppiness yet. I'm waiting for the Catalyst 5.3 drivers which are due in a couple weeks to see if they fix anything.

Well some games are Radeon based and some are Geforce. For instance Half-life 2 performs better with Radeon. Personally I don't mind have the ball studder with my 9800 pro...

Here are my settings...maybe this will help you out. Mine seems to be running very smooth since I cranked everything up. I was getting some serious stuttering when throwing the ball and on replays, but it seems to be almost gone...

Windows XP Home SP2

P4 - 2.81 Ghz

1GB RAM

Gigabyte GA-8IXHP (Rev 2.1) motherboard

SB Extigy

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

Drivers: Catalyst 5.2

AGP = 4X

Fast Writes: ON

AA = 6X

AF = 16X

Texture Pref: High Quality

Mipmap Detail: High Quality

VSync: ON (my framerate drops if VSync is ON. May be a good thing for this game from some of the other posts about the game being made for low-end systems...not sure how accurate that is, but...)

TRUFORM: Application Preference

Refresh Rate = 85 Hertz

Dumb question, but how do make the above adjustments like turning VSync On? Is this done in Display settings?

Omega drivers are good too. They're driver tweaks. Give them a shot if this doesn't work.

To turn on VSync, right click your Desktop, go to Properties, then Settings tab. Then Advanced button at the bottom. Click on the 3D Tab and you should have all of the settings there. (I made the settings the same for OpenGL as well). You'll need to click the Custom Settings button to be able to edit the settings by unchecking the box. Turn it up and see if it works. Monitor refresh rate will be under Monitor Tab. Click the Display tab and you change the refresh rate for the card. I believe Fast writes is on the SmartGart tab...but don't quote me on that. If it's grayed out, you'll need to enable fast writes in the bios. and then it will be available. hope it helps fellas....or ladies!
