| Post subject: | Finding the cause of choke/lag |
So I'm trying to play MW2 but its crappy as hell, something HAS to be bottlenecked... My CPU % isn't close to 100 at all, my memory is at about 85-90% in use when playing. System: win7 x64 Q6600 8800 GTS 4gb Its not like lag I get, more like a system not being able to keep up with the game... I think it might be time for a new vid card, but anyone know of any way to determine if that is the bottleneck? |

My experience is that choke has more to do with your connection than with your hardware (but I'm not an expert) -- what is that like? |

I've got a 25mbit up/down and get ridiculously low ping so I kinda ignored the possibility that it was connection... I'll do that extra bars thing and try to see if I'm host or not.. Back in vista I was ALWAYS the host, maybe win7 connectivity issues? The thing is, it doesn't always happen, every 3/5 games it'll suck, but the 2/5 it will function smoooooth |

dont have SP installed on win7... well I think I found it. It was my ps3 media streamer... the language its programmed in is Java, but I realized this that when I was playing my game AND had the ps3 streaming, they would both crap out at the same time... could it have been a resource hog or could it actually have congested my network? |

Personally I say both, I always find anything java based to be for the most part, a big hog but that's' just me. |

I'm behind on the PS3 thing -- were you streaming from your PS3 to your PC your were playing on? vice versa? |

I was streaming movie files from my computer to the TV via the PS3. I'm having even more problems now with windows 7 as a whole. When I have serious network activity (downloads/streaming/torrents/etc..) I realize that my ENTIRE computer starts lagging and chocking, especially my mouse pointer. Memory's not near 100%, neither is CPU. I'm beginning to doubt my harddrive and its cache now... |
