    How did you get FRAPS to run? Whenever I try to use it, the game won't load.

    Might perhasp work under DX10 but not DX9 (Black borders around the framerate so either DX10 or DX11), odd problem though, perhaps the latest (3.1.1) version of FRAPS works better?

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat
    and find "r3_msaa off" and set it to "r3_msaa 4x"

    Hi guys,
    When i first started COP it was unplayable due to massive stutter. I almost ditched the game. When i tried it the next day, the stutter was miraculously gone.
    I had decent FPS on high settings at 1680x1050 so i started playing.
    Now, after fidling around with video settings and especially Vsync which was not working, my FPS now is in the ship base around 21-22. This was 33 before.
    Even setting everything to minimal settings with static lighting only gives me an increase of 2 FPS(!). Certainly something is not in order here. Enabling and disabling forced Vsync doesn't give me more FPS either. I use ATI tray tool for that btw.
    The Benchmark tool gives me good FPS of 30-60..

    I use Windows XP

    Anyone know whats wrong and how to fix my low FPS?

    Regards,
    Blackice

    I'll try this thanks!

    edit: it worked awesome thx, but I will just use 2x AA it's a performance killer in this game holy ****. Both cards are @ 100% Load with all VRAM used.

    edit2 : And wow I did a SLI scaling tests and it's really close to 2x performance! Now if they would just use more cores...

    The low FPS is caused by your CPU, while the stutter is caused by your GPU. 512MB of Vram doesn't cut it all that well in this game, something I've noticed myself.

    Problem is i first had 33 fps on high settings. Now i have 21 on high and 24 on minimal settings! I dont know what caused this weird change.

    It seems all of the Stalker games scale extremely well in SLI.

    I wish all games scaled like this.

    Hmm.. That is weird indeed. I don't know what could be wrong; When I switch to Static Lighting and minimal settings, I get butter-smooth gameplay even in Skadovsk (the ship base). Are you sure there aren't more NPC's in Skadovsk now that you're testing it for the second time, as opposed to the first time when you had 33 FPS?

    Im pretty sure nothing changed in regard to NPCs. Im supposed to get smooth gameplay too on the lowest settings. Looks like crap, lol.
    Maybe something in the config files has gone messed up.
    Does Vsync behave normally on your machine? First it was off even when i set ATI tray tools to Default On, now it is the opposite, i can only force Vsync off with ATI tray tools. The ingame option doesn't do anything.

    Well my FPS is consistently too low to get tearing at 60Hz, so I just leave it off, haha. But seriously though, this game has the capacity to perform great if you turn off some settings like AA and Sun Shafts, but the lack of proper multi-threading support really castrates the potential for having a consistently smooth framerate.

    Alright i reinstalled COP. Didnt have much hope for fixing my problem anyway.
    Guess what, 10 more fps in the same spot in Skadovsk. SSAO off.

    I hope it doesn't change again. Dont wanna reinstall the game every day hehe.

    Yes, open the console, type hud_draw off.

    I have a question about the game. I just started again, went to Skadovsk, walked back out again and heard some shooting. I found three dead bodies and i looted them.
    Is this normal?
    Will all the NPCs be dead in a few hours or will new ones spawn somewhere?

    Also, where and how in Skadovsk can i sell my loot?

    edit: you open the console with the ` button ofcourse
