I have a theory about this. First let me say that I have never played PC so I have not experienced the lag you guys are talking about. In fact, I have not experienced lag in any game mode at all.
That being said, I have noticed that there is an extreme amount of HDD activity while I play. So I'm curious, could some of this lag be because of HDDs with 60% or more of their capacity used? I have experienced frame rate issues in other games and have used this link to solve many FPS issues in the past.
The one thing that I DO NOT recommend from that list, is the use of canned air to clean your PS3. That is a bad idea. One thing that I do recommend with the PS3 is the use of a laptop cooling pad. I started using one and my system runs much better than it did without it. If you are insistent on using canned air to clean your PS, then I would highly recommend that you take the case apart before doing so. By blowing air into the system, you are actually just forcing the dust into the system and therefore possibly causing it build up on things like the CPU or GPU of the system, which in turn insulates the components and makes it hard for them to be cooled.
Some quick things you can do, particularly if you don't use your PS3 for movie watching is:
- set BD/DVD upscaler off
- set HDMI 24 FPS off
- HDMI audio set should be put on bitstream
- turn off upscaler/smoother
- disable system display notify, media server, other automatic settings
I have all these things turned off, since I have a Blu-Ray player. A note on the HDMI 24FPS. I'm not sure if the PS3 forces this setting to only movies or not, but the concept behind it is that most movies are filmed at 24 fps, but on DVD/Blu-Ray they are printed at 60 FPS. Since most people who watch movies think 24 fps is better (we've been trained to think this because of that is what we have watched all our lives) then this setting forces 24 fps. If this were to translate to anything that is passing through your HDMI, then your PS3 could be limiting FPS and not the game code.
I hope this information helps some of you guys out and good luck. |
