Zweifel23 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 My computer lags. I have GeForce graphics card I think 760,And 8Gb Ram is that not enough? Or is it my internet? It lags mostly in higher traffic locations. When I turn the graphic settings to “faster” it lags less so I’m assuming it’s the graphics card.

Mollymews Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 yes is a fair assumption about your graphics card, Zweifel when in non-busy scenes our graphics cards will achieve higher FPS than in more busy scenes SL being largely made of user-generated content, not as well optimised as content made for commercial game titles, can put a relatively higher load on our graphics card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillith Hapmouche Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Well... you're guessing about your graphic card, so is everyone else. There'd be less guessing if you copy and paste the system details found unter Help > About. Most likely, it's a mix of everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyssa Greymoon Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 In graphics preferences turn off shadows. In really busy areas turn off Advanced Lighting Model. Use Firestorm or another viewer that lets you take advantage of more of your video card's memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zweifel23 Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 Thank you everybody. I’ll try what you said Lyssa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Nova Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 My favorite (Firestorm) quick fix for a laggy sim is World->Show Friends Only. It's faster to set than changing the Draw Distance (also good) and Max Complexity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
