No I have an NVIDIA 8600GT. I just realized it's not just LFS it's most of my games. The only game that doesn't lag is bf2, everything else does. It just happened over night.

i also have a 8600 gt and its not that good of a gfx card but lfs works fine for me... even with enb series lfs runs like 40-50 fps..
try to reinstall windows maybe its a virus or maybe you were playing somthin else and your graphics card overheated.

:kyle:

Go to "options", then to "misc" and make sure that "Limit in-game frame rate" is set to no. You might also want to turn "Full screen vertical sync" off as well.

Worked out what the problem was. gfx card drivers from bevor the war made the game look junky. Downloaded the latest drivers, installed them and restarted the pc. That alone solved it. But i think I should limit the framerate to 100 fps because it doesn´t make any sense having 216 fps.

8600GT is not the problem, my 8600GT runs everything max as hell and resoltuion 1280x1024 with 150 stable fps - if some progs are closed then 200 fps is no problem.

weird... my 6600gt runs great... 1024x768, 32-bit, 60hz, 1x AA, 1xAF...

capped at 30fps, it never goes lower than 25fps, but that's pretty rare.

edit: you said you tried the latest driver... how about an older one? newer doesn't always mean better.

I'm sorry but this is not great at all
My FX5200 128MB ran LFS at 1024x768, 32bit, 75hz, no AA, 8x AF, about 45~60fps on Pentium 4 2.8ghz. (full textures, full skin res)
Never went lower than 35fps on most demanding parts (too many cars online).

Your graphics card should run LFS a lot better than this.

And from what I've read it may seem weird, but for me, newer driver always meant better performance (except for ancient graphics card such as GeForce MX440)

@ hazaky: +1, except for resolution: 1680x1050 + enbseries and 4x AA, 16x AF = stable 85fps on Pentium D.

By the way, back on topic
@ Tazer: Have you turned off your computer in a not usual way on Tuesday? (i.e.: remove the plug, hold the "turn off" button for a few seconds instead of waiting Windows shut down, turn off the stabilizer, turning off the PSU, etc).

Try running CHKDSK on your disc and see if it finds any errors.

Had him to run a couple of hyper pi ( 1M@35secs Q6300@63degrees) tests yesterday. Graphics or software related error, I think.

@ Post 32 & 33 : 8600GT 150-200 FPS?
@ Office FX5200 never under 35 FPS with a prob. single core P4 only?
I´m sure you got the Saltsa-Version of a FX5200 then.

You should've seen my sister's FX5500 256MB then: stable 40~42FPS on a Celeron D 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM DDR 333MHz no less than 26fps with 9 (online) cars on the track. (no AA, full textures, AF 4x, minimum car LOD, 1280x1024 32bit). I gave her a new computer for birthday by the way

And of course, a 8600GT can get even higher FPS on LFS depending on the PC's processor.

By the way, is there a difference between hyper pi and super pi? (the programs)
I have the "Super PI" program here, and my E5200 stock (2.5GHz) calculates 1M @ 22secs. (42°C)
Is his processor dying or something? A friend of mine overclocked a E2160 @ 2.93GHz (sth like that) and got 1M @ 23sec (also on "Super PI" program).

But please let's not stay too far from the topic
I mentioned the CHKDSK feature because I have once turned the PC off incorrectly and when I started Windows it found plenty of errors which were slowing the PC down.

As i said earlier, Have you ran System Restore?....

If its a shagged setting in windows then this will probably fix it....

My games are running at high FPS again all of a sudden I think my computer just hates me

it probably would if i wasn't playing it on a tv...

Strange, because my FPS is the same regardless of playing on a TV or a monitor

i probably have vsync on.
