Lag During Zoom/Scope (Can you reduce it?)

[xXShootToKillXx 4]

I run all of my graphics etc on high and have great FPS while running around however when I hold RMB (right mouse button) or enter a sniper scope I seem to have lag and it bothers me and affects my performance. What settings should I change and to what to help this problem?

GO to control options and turn smoothing all the way down.

i did...

Thats weird then. And by the way I wasn't trying to be rude when I suggested that. I had similar problems before and kind of stumbled on to the smoothing thing and it helped me out. I was genuinely just trying to help. Is it frame lag? or just almost seems like your sensitivity is lower?

i know your comment wasnt rude i put the ... because if it wasnt smoothing then i wondered what it is it is frame lag it like jumps frames when i enter a scope or zoom sometimes and my sensitivity is kinda low is that it?

[Odrama Vin Laden 18]

it could be. maybe try bumping it up a bit and see what happens? I know the sensitivity is definitely meant to slow down a bit in scope/sight to simulate aiming the gun. Experiment is all I can say. Not sure why else it would run ok anytime other than scoped, I actually get a better framerate while ADS

put obeject detail in very low it will fix it

• Enable fraps or some sort of FPS counter
  
• Go into your scope view
  
• While you are looking in the scope, open the graphics settings
  
• Lower your "Objects Detail" and check FPS
  
• Profit
  

I have a shit-hot graphics card and I still lower it to "low"

AFAIK, the "Objects Detail" puts more load on your CPU (because more objects and polygons are drawn on screen). The rendering of them isn't a problem for your GFX card most likely, just the fact that there's more hit boxes, LOD's and so forth to calculate.

EDIT: Ninja'd!

This sounds like the game is having trouble loading all of the objects. Try settings your VRAM to default.

If that doesn't work, the only thing I can think of is that you might need an SSD.

main culprit of that zoomed in lag is your view distance is too high. most servers lock view @ 1000-1500. switch your view distance to the lower of the two and see if that helps you.
