Hello,
I have recently upgraded from an old GeForce 3 64 meg GPU to the brand new (just shipped on the second) GeForce 7800 GS OC (overclocked) 256MB GDDR3 AGP card. It is awesome and it rocks all of my games at FULL settings, even with a 1.4 ghz processor, except Far Cry.
Now don't get me wrong, far cry looks incredible and the framerates are incredible. My problem is specific. Hear this loud and clear, NOT a framerate or graphics issue. There is some kind of overall problem with a momentary lag every 3 seconds during the opening video and in game.
Inbetween these 3 second bursts of half a second lag is nothing but silky smooth framerate. This did not happen even with my old crappy card. So what is the deal? It also still happens with all video and sound settings turned down ALL THE WAY.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
