huge fps laggs

[b00m666 38]

Whenever i go near a town it freezes sometimes for 1-2 seconds. When i enter a big city like cherno and i zoom in with left click i lagg so hard it feels like 2 fps. I don't know what to do about this as my system can handle this game with ease.

Videocard: AMD radeon hd 6990 ( gets hot to 85C while playing)

Processor I5-760 2,80 GHZ ( Will change it to i7 soon or i5-2500k can't decide since people say i5-2500k is good for gaming)

RAM: 8192 so 8.1gb

Directx 11

Don't know what else to post, can anybody help me?

The 6990 is a dual GPU, could be that. Or it's just normal lag, because it has to load in many textures. The 2500K will eventually solve those issues.

I got a AMD Phenom x4 9750 2,4 GHz (Quadcore), NVIDIA GeForce 470 GTX, 8 GB DDR3 RAM

Well i knew that it is time now to change from AMD to Intel and i bought the i5 2500k (i think that was a really good choice). Bought it on friday and i hope i will get it soon.

I got the same problems as you do. Like 10-17 fps in town. Thats mostly different, if the server restarts and i joined right after it, it will work for a short time smoothly but not too long.

So you could run fraps to see your fps. The game doesnt need a monster gpu so im pretty sure its your cpu.

From what I've read your cpu is probably a bottleneck for the 6990, the i5 2500k will fix that and does just as well as the i7s for gaming. I have an i5 2500k, one of the best cpu's I've owned. 85c is pretty normal for a 6990, nothing to worry about, if you ever get up near 99c I'd start to worry.

One easy way to see if you're being bottlenecked is watch the gpu usage while gaming, if it stays between 95-100% constantly, its not a bottleneck, if its below that then it is.
