How to Reduce lagg.

[Rick.]

I know somewhat ways to Reduce lagg.

1. Get a game booster
2. Get a C-Cleaner and clean all your junky Files.
3. Go to your options on the San Andreas menu.
4. Buy a new Harddrive
5. Buy more Ram for your Computer.
6. Get the NVIDEA or ATI Graphics card, IF you do not have it.
7. Internet connection
8. ram
9. Video Card
10. Close up all Programs You dont need.
11. Decrease your ping.
12. Un-install copcarla.dff and copcarla.txd  <-- ( IF you have this Mod ) ( But do not get it, It'll Fuck your game up. )

Ill update this When i figure out more.

If you have any more, just post and ill add.

3) Rather obvious, no?
4) Buying a new hard drive does absolutely next to nothing for lag.
6) It's spelled NVIDIA, and it's not the only graphics card in the world, you know?
Can someone trash this topic please? It's bullshit.

Hard drive can make difference.. It's just like 1-10 FPS max..
2Gb is enough for any game made so far.
NVidia or ATi, there are no more..

But the Nvidia is the cheapest, thts why i said nvidia

Intel and some other laptop graphics cards are also, which i don't remember atm, but i know there is.

No, ATI are a much cheaper manufacturer of graphics cards as apposed to NVIDIA.

The standard hard drive is at 7200RPM, I think. Then there's 10,000RPM, and there's SSD. To get that FPS boost, you'll have to spend a ridiculous amount of money to get an FPS boost of 10(max, as you said). You're better off buying a graphics card. The advice on buying a hard drive does therefore not make sense, to the human that has a brain.

Bullshit - Ati's are less expensive

By the way, if you have Dual Core processor and experience lag, make sure your GTA SA is directed to use both cores, not just one.

[Todor]

I'm playing it on 1 of 2 cores and I am experiencing no lag whatsoever on max settings at 1280x800x32

Never been thinking about that to get the game work better, how do i do it?

When having lagg, first check the folowing:

- What programs are running ? Close down as many programs as possible, especially if they use your internet connection.

- What is your ping ? If your ping is above 100, you will have lagg no matter what you have in hard- and software. Ping can go up if multiple programs are using your internet, see point 1.

Please note that lagg of players does influence the whole server, so try to keep your ping as low as possible.

Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to Task Manager. Right click on gta_sa.exe while it's running, and select Set Affinity. Note though, that this may require to you to log into the Administrator account of your Operating System. (not same as having administrator rights)

I wouldn't suggest that for people who don't use a Dual Core Optimizer because they might have the game work like a speedhack.
So before using it on both cores, you should get the dual core optimizer (search google).

And what makes you think that? Firstly, it doesn't effect the game properties itself. Secondly, Dual Core Optimizer is only for AMD processors.

Sorry, i meant for the AMD processors which have Dual Core, because from my experience i had that problem, and i am just suggesting that any AMD user should use that.
