SC Double Agent Horrible Performance Issues

has this game been badly coded? because no matter what resoultion i play the game at with any display settings, i get like 30 fps. at higher resolutions its 20 or so and the fps never remains stable. i patched the game too but no improvements at all. splinter cell chaos theory on the other hand doesnt ever go below 70 fps with everything @ max. does anyone else have the same problem with this game ?

With that setup I shouldn't think it'd dip that low...
I'm using one x1900 now, and plan to CS both when I go home from Christmas this year...OT but I've played the demo and have got highly satisfactory frames....not even 30 fps at 1280x1024 (haven't done 1600x1200, monitor doesn't handle)...

Could you have left vsync on in the game or drivers??
 
frames wise double agent wont give you that high fps no matter what u do....even with ur ur quad SLI...also your proccy is the is the culprit, cos' the game requires 3ghz at the min and 3.5ghz recommended (by the company), so if u OC to 2.5ghz , then u should definetly some boost in the frames..

PS: what settings are u playing the game at

what about AMD64 platforms ? See my RiG, mine is 2211 MHz.

erm.. i think this has to do with my processor.
havent checked the ingame vsync. maybe thats the problem

mostly your processor. or could be the nvidia drivers which i doubt.

cant be vsync cause vsync will cap it at 60fps which will be your refreshrate & not at 30.
 
triple buffering was enabled from my nvidia control panel and vsync was on. so i put both off but its still almost the same.
i play @ 1280x1024 with everything max, 4x AA.

i dont think this has to do anything with the game settings because even if i reduce them i get 5 fps more and the game looks like everythings at max anyway other than the aliasing, and i play all games with everything at max without any problem whatsoever.

can someone use fraps and do a benchmark of the 4th level in the full game ?
 
Bad game as a follow up .. the graphics ain't that great , and the "stealth" part is almost gone ... about performance .. i ran it at 1280*960 , SM3.0 with HDr , maxed settings .. fps was around 30'ish ... i think this game really runs better with dual core CPU's ...
 
30ish fps is bad
somethings definately wrong with this game alot of people have been complaining on forums about its performance and did you guys know the xbox 360 version looks better ? :S i even saw a comparison of the pc version and the x360 and the x360 looked way better ! i was like no way that cant be true, but its true.
 
Never had any perf issues... damn thing doesnt support 1680x1050 :(. Had to run at 1280x1024 and was getting 80+ fps. Oh btw nvidia users better disable AA... since its HDR, HDR+AA won't work... it'll only slow down the game. I tried forcing AA from CP and got some wierd rendering bugs. So as of now HDR+AA is borked on ATI as well in this game cos of implementation glitches.

Get the 1.00 to 1.01 patch. They got the HDR+AA working......
 
can somebody run a performance benchmark on the game using fraps in the 4th level for around 3 minutes with everything turned to max? AA or no AA the frames are bad for me. no matter what the graphical settings are. this is the first game ive got that has this problem.
better still, can anyone take a print screen in game, with buildings and stuff in view with fraps showing the fps in the background ?

abbe what u saying. game works in 1680 x 1050. n to get hdr + aa u need to get the new patch.

install the dell monitor drivers. u will then get the res i guess.
 
Running fine with 4xAA, 16xAF, HDR at 1280x960... averages around 40fps. Goes down to 30 avg and mid twenties at 1680x1050. Here's a screenie of the first level

 
Eh? so how's the performance with Pixel Shader intense scenes?, that screenshot literally stresses Vertex Shader Processors. Could you please post multiple screenshots?
 
ok mines exactly the same then. i get 30-40 fps in the first level 1280x1024 everything max 16x af and 4x aa , no hdr. at certain angles i can even get 60+ fps but that depends upon whats on the screen. there are some slowdowns at certain angles while playing the game and it goes down to 20. it gets much worse in the 4th level and thats where ive stopped playing and uninstalled the damn thing, not worth my precious gaming time.
this game really is badly coded then. but my shitty processor is to blame for the bottleneck.

"Never had any perf issues... damn thing doesnt support 1680x1050 . Had to run at 1280x1024 and was getting 80+ fps."

^ i was wondering how you get 80+ fps. im talking about ingame fps, not the game menus. lol
 
alright lets see a graphic intense non hdr screenshot in the 1st level 1280x1024 16x af , 4x aa. in the other one you were pretty much looking into the darkness.
