Well I've got 2 evga gtx 570s while running drabon flaga it makes clock speeds go nuts. It just kind of randomly jumps around. Basically from like idle clock to 3d clock. Does it using one card(or running the second card for physx) or running sli. I't doesnt cause any drop in framerate. I've tried running 266.58s 265s and 260s all the drivers listed for the 570s. Doesn't seem to be anything with drivers. This is the only game it does it in. Im not sure if its just like "If youre going to use me like this imma go hide in the corner" or something? Anyway, mainly just wondering if anyone else has anything happen like that? Ive played this with 2 4780s in crossfire, an old x1900xtx and a 8800gt never had anything like that with those. Not terribly worried about it since this game runs like 5% gpu usage but like I said just wondering if anyone else has this?

Could have put this under tech support oh well too late now.

I have no idea what you just said.

man you gotta reboot relog defrag sys32 restart then apply f4 to explorer.exe while simultaneously holding CTRL+ALT+L+O+L then reboot into safe mode 4 times holding enter after deleting BIOS and short CMOS then rigging up 3 NAND gates to flip-flop the process term signals.

you forgot to tell him to install a new flux capacitor...........

CTRL+ALT+L+O+L didn't do anything for me =(

[Akihiro]

Install gentoo

(I don't really know why DS hates nvidia)

[Kazu731]

DRABON FLAGA LOL

[Kokaloo]

I understood all of it
And no it doesn't hate NVIDIA graph cards, I use one myself and it runs fine
Although its outdated abd only 128mg ded it does fine
idk what your problem could be

I'm using an old radeon 9800XT pro on windows XP

just about every time the client crashes or gets closed it crashes windows and reboots my pc

Try cranking up the settings via Nvidia control panel and by that I mean force antialiasing on (mine's at 16xq) and make sure power management is on max performance. I've seen my gpu usage jump over 60% after doing this, which was quite shocking albeit it was just for a brief moment lol. However, it doesn't fully make use of the GPU's, so there will always be lag no matter how high end your build is.

Also, not sure if it's just me but Dragonsaga seems to freeze for a split second at times after the patch.

Just turn off SLI and see if it makes a difference.

I searched around to see if anyone else had the same problem with DS, but I think most people playing have barely functioning integrated graphics, let alone one 570.

This has been happening too, although I'm just assuming it has something to do with the server now that I know I'm not the only one

Just to be clear, I was referring to my framerate not net. It'll shoot down causing a sudden freeze or a stutter.

I understood and that's exactly what happens to me as well
Although it has stopped recently, or I just haven't noticed due to laggy F7

Hmm okay, I'm glad it isn't just me then because I was just about to open up my PC to resit my cards.

DS does hate NVIDIA... Not saying all people have issues with it, but my desktop does the same thing - very choppy gameplay.

Therefore, I have to use my laptop to play - which has an intel graphics chip in it... At least I get a decent FPS, not good enough for the archer class though. :[

Alright I didnt mean DS actually hates nvida that was a joke really. I dont have sli on most the time playing this.(DS doesnt run in sli if its on or not.) Saying that was more of a "tried that statement". I will bump up settings in nvida control havent done that yet for this. Again it's not any problem with framerates just random clock speeds. I run 60fps pretty solid. After the patch I have had a few stutters like you mentioned.

Alright maxed out settings in nvidia control panel. Still get random clock speeds. It does look a little better running full screen. Hit around 23% usage in pve so far. So it did jump a little from just app settings being around 12% highest usage I'd seen before.
