Hey all,
When I play Soldier of Fortune 2 I get some serious video lag. Its an older game and I have a good system, im not sure what could be causing the lag. Ive tried pretty much everything ranging from lowering all graphics settings to removing all anti aliasing/ anisotrophic, installed new video drivers, re installed direct x, freed up disk space. My power supply is enough for the card that I have. Im not sure whats causing the lag. Any help would be appreciated.
My system specs:
Manufacturer: System manufacturer Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 FX-60 Dual Core Processor, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz Memory: 2816MB RAM (3 gigs inside not sure why its 2816) Hard Drive: 60 GB Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT Monitor: Dell M770 Sound Card: NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio Speakers/Headphones: Keyboard: USB Root Hub Mouse: USB Root Hub Mouse Surface: Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254) Motherboard: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce SPP 100 ATX AMD Motherboard

Only one small HDD with O/S, Programs AND games running off of it..............I would say that's the cause. Try getting another HDD for you games to be installed on.

This might be a stupid question, or it might not. Is your video card PCI?

Ok, so you got a new HDD. What have you put on it? I would suggest installing your games only on one drive and see if that helps.
