Random FPS drops

January 19th, 2017, 1:44 am

okay ive asked this question before and I got shitty answers like "get new PC" well I finally took my laptop in and they cleaned dust out of the case and they went through and cleaned the system so I am running a freshly installed version of gta no mods and as you can see in the video I get these annoying ass lag spikes they are very inconvenient when I'm in a gunfight and I get one and in those 5 seconds or so I'm dead. so my question is, is there a fix for this, I am running windows 10. Ive made sure no antivirus is running during playing, ive tried setting priorty to real time, I have battery on high performance, I have done pretty much everything to make my computer have more power so I'm thinking it is something within samp that's causing this.

Specs: Intel I5-6200U 2.30ghz (2.40ghz)
Intel HD 520 graphics integrated
8gb of ram

I thought that was an issue also but when I took my pc to the repair shop to get cleaned I thought maybe the thermal paste was bad and causing overheating, so the shop put my computer under a stress test for a few hours and they said it preformed perfectly. I can play CS:GO and APB Reloaded perfectly on average or above settings I don't think my hardware would be a problem.

Do you have any streaming service running? Doesn't need to be streaming.

Antivirus updating virus database, windows updates, youtube video loading, download, all of this can get fps to drop randomly, check and reply back.

Since you are on windows 10 - make sure the xbox app is not recording. Click on the xbox app in your start menu, go to settings and look for the Game DVR tab. It should be off

ok look from where I see this it's either your laptop is getting overheated you should check the CPU fan for this, if not it's probably that you are using wifi connection, if not just try to open the command prompt type ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew check the difference and get back to me.

My cooling on my PC is in 100% working order it was just in a shop getting looked at and they said it works perfect, I don't quite under stand how the command prompt idea you have works I got the ipconfig to come up but idk what to do from there, can internet connection cause that to happen I figured it was more of a fps issue

No mods, No viruses, No newly installed programs I guess.
One problem affect the game speed is airflow underneath. Use a cooling pad or use two blocks of woods/ plastics. It will cooldown your laptop. It's OK if you're keeping it on your lap. It will increase airflow.

Or, open sa-mp.cfg ( in your documents )
And edit this in a notepad,

multicore=0
To
multicore=1

And turn off the programs you don't need.

Disable all /toghuds (e.g) /toghud time, /toghud location, /toghud vehicle, /toghud ads) this increases FPS and lowers the ability of giving FPS drops.

The problem is how can he play without hud. Ad bar is ok but other hud... :?:
If it ( the solution I told before ) is not helping. Can you tell us that you've used the same GTA copy that you used in your old PC ?

Same GTA copy you used in your old PC ? If yes, that can be the issue here. Then you should try a new copy of GTA. Update it. Make sure no mods, no background programs.
Can you post a screenshot of your Task Manager while you're playing SA-MP?

Try to lower your draw distance settings, after seeing your video your game freezes because it loads the objects and other stuff > basically your graphic card is garbage and afaik it's impossible to change graphic card on a laptop, in mine at least.

draw distance is all the way down, I play at lowest settings even tried it on 800x600 which is like unplayable and still get lag. I seen people using my video card and processor set up managing bf3 on lowest settings and its low af fps but still playable so I think I can handle a game from the early 2000's.

Integrated graphics card is the problem. Integrated graphic cards suck, does not matter how good CPU or how much RAM you have, if you have an integrated graphic card, you can't enjoy 60 FPS gameplay..

Are you able to increase/decrease the volt on your CPU? Should be in the bios not sure if your PC supports it but you should google it. And watch some videos on youtube before you attempt to change the voltage. It might not be getting enough power for some reason, or the other way around.

It seems it is hardware related since you've reinstalled windows and whatnot.
