have u already download the unreal 3 demo?

i think its running kinda strange on my pc cos i have a 8800GTS (the 320mb one)and i dont have problems to run games like bioshock on the highest resolutions but im suffering from a strange lag on unreal 3....the game runs well but while im walking i have some "fast" lag..i know it sounds weird but its a real fast lag lol itsnot lagging all the time like when u dont have enought power to run the game i have only some sudently "freezing"...

kinda strange...

so anyone else has noticed it?

btw i have a core 2 duo E6600, a gf8800gts (320 mb) and iam running it on windows vista home premium...

Thats server lag (assuming your playing online)

I've been getting alot of it myself. try a bot game and see if it runs ok.

get fraps and monitor your frame rate, and monitor precisely what's happening when it stutters

it could be one particular visual effect, texture- or even an audial effect causing your frame rate issues, and experimentation is the easiest way to get to the root of any problem

for the record, i play it at full max @ 1600x1200 on a 8800gts 640mb at a solid 40-70 fps, which is what i got in airborne and bioshock as well... this is dx9 on xp

Go to 'instant action' instead of multiplayer.

I didn't have those problems. I hit damn near 100fps some times with everything maxed at a 1440x900 resolution. Amazing optimization for that game.

I ahve no problems, just choose a nice server. I was running it on it with my setup and a E6420 with around 50fps @ 16x10 and my Ageia PhsyX enabled

People dont seem to understand that the demo is running on beta code (i.e not complete, unoptimised and no final textures etc). Theres bound to be compatability issues all over the shop.
