these are my configuration of my nba 2k10 .. any idea guys on how to improve the game performance??

CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_0 = 2

[rholdxv]

wow.. thanks.. how about the stall cpu end frame? MAIN_LOGICAL_THREAD = ? GPU_LOGICAL_THREAD = ?
did you know what's the meaning of these?

[Larry Licker SP1]

STALL_CPU_ON_END_FRAME = 0

[Patr1ck]

Try
GPU_LOGICAL_THREAD = 1
or
MAIN_LOGICAL_THREAD = 1

Lowering these two will get your some extra frames at the cost of some jaggies.

VIDEOSETTING_MSAA = 4
VIDEOSETTING_MSAAQUALITY = 2

You should be fine just setting the second one to 0.

[rholdxv]

does your game lag when stall cpu end frame = 0 ?

[Larry Licker SP1]

It gives me higher fps when i set it to 0

CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_0 = 1

This helped me actually. Even though my game was running fine before, but with some stuttering going on sometimes, this helped smooth it out for me. And, there's no noticable deterioration in graphics (don't tell me if there is, I tend to nickpick alot )

[rholdxv]

guys,, try to set the paging file to 0 .. it helps on reducing lags

[aalixx]

Where can i find this config files?

[Patr1ck]

You can find it in your \Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\2K Sports\NBA 2K10\Saves folder.

and i have problems with framerate..during the game or calling a timeout.. its freeze a few seconds really troublesome..
someone can help me with my performance?

Thanks!

PS: i'm from ARG so my english is not very well.. but i can understand a little bit =)

[Patr1ck]

VIDEOSETTING_MSAA = 8

Try turning that down. Start by going to 4, then to 2. It will cause more aliasing(jagged edges), but it might help.

If that doesn't work, try some of the suggestions from the posts above.

I just don't know what to do anymore.
I've tried everything and nothing works.
My specs are Phenom II x2 3.1GHz, Radeon HD4870 1GB, 2GB Ram and Win7.
On that hardware i should run well so why it doesn't? cfg modifications don't work, 2k9 cfg doesn't work, the drivers are up to date, official patch installed.
What else can be done to raise FPS?
Lowering graphics quality to medium doesn't do the trick and I don't want to play with low details.

[Patr1ck]

You should be running the game great. You can always try to run the game in compatability mode for Vista or XP. Do you have any other games with low performance?

[187]

When I turn on V sync my framerate drops from 45-50 range to 30. Anyway to fix this because I know V sync helps with easy lay ups that are air balled badly.

Are there any programs that are hogging the ram or cpu?

**you can also set the priority of the cpu to high - manually or set it automatically by creating a batch file- start /high nba2k10.exe using notepad and save it as .bat on your 2k10 folder and make a shortcut to desktop then just change the icon to 2k10
**disable visual themes and desktop composition
**try to overclock your GPU and CPU if it's not
**don't turn ON VSYNC via game settings turn it off
Just use direct3Doverrider were it's included when you download Rivatuner 2.24 and then turn ON VSYNC and triple buffering from it. turning ON the triple buffering helps to improve game performance when VSYNC is also turned ON

** if you're using NVIDIA drivers, from the control panel, Program Settings add nba2k10 and set the maximum pre-rendered frames to 2 (the default is 3) Reducing helps if you experience delay on keyboard or controller -I dunno on ATI control panel if it has

** not sure about this but I don't believe at the benchmark of nba2k10 maybe it's not accurate (e.g if the average FPS is 45-50 = maybe the real average is 55=60
try using other benchmark tool like FRAPS etc.

Any more ideas guys on how to improve game performance?

[damonrulz]

What programs are running in the background?

Check in task manager for programs that have a high Memory or CPU usage

[rholdxv]

disable visual themes
disable desktop composition
disable display scaling on high DPI settings

helps alot

hey I need a tutorial on exactly how to darken the crowds

[fumanchu]

ei guys...do you have suggestions why the game runs slow on my rig with high settings with this specs? my friend has the same specs but the game runs smooth on his system...

processor: intel core2duo 2.20GHZ
ram: 2gb
graphics: ati radeon HD 4670 1GB
and lots of HD space

click properties on nba.exe than go to Compatibility and put ticks on these.
