MY Q : What is V-sync?

V-sync is the Vertical synchronization between the monitor refresh rate and vertical blanking in your monitor in order to prevent the tearing effect that can appear while you playing a game with a higher FPS then your monitor refresh rate.

techdaddy, can u post ur specs?

eVGA 790i Ultra SLI A1 - P06

What is MSAA and MSAA quality?

Multisample AA is a FORM of "full screen anti-aliasing." Full screen anti-aliasing means AA that is performed on the entire screen - this can be done via supersampling, multisampling, or even hybrid modes that combine the two.

how many FPS do you rich with this specs???

with the same settings are around 40-45 fps

A steady 60 fps with vertical sync set to 60

I fail to see how this is a patch preview or release...Those sliders have already been posted somewhere else.

This was more about having better graphics with your NVIDIA card. I just threw in the sliders!

Hey, why AA only on 4? I can put it on 16Q on my GF GTX 280.
Is it the best mix of your settings or can it be boosted even more?

Beyond 4, there's really not that much of a visual difference for AA...

what's the purpose of this post? seriously! where's the patch? is this about showing off your good system?

this may be a stupid question, but how do i check my fps in 2k9

Download and run FRAPS.

Hey all,

Is it possible that my CPU (AMD X2 6000) is too slow, cuz i cannot play with players set on ULTRA HIGH? My GPU is HD 4870X2 and i have 2 gigs of Kingston HyperX RAM on 800MHz
and my framerate is always 60fps with all other settings maxxed, including MSAA 8x. But when i set players on ultra high, fps drops heavily!

Any advice?

My drivers are up to date, OS is Vista Ultimate SP1, etc...

Please advise

Thx

Try to lower your MSAA maybe, your CPU seems good enough for "ultra high".

I have spent over one hour surfing the net for a solution and the only thing i could find is an advice for modifying CONFIG file (stall cpu on end frame and cloth logical thread values) which i already knew and tried and it doesn't work! I tried experimenting with graphic card settings but obviously it's not due to mu GPU speed, since it's one of the best on the market. So i am really really pissed! I was thinking of reinstalling the whole system since i recently installed my new graphic card and did not reinstall the operating system for a long time.
If anyone has any other advice, please help!

Also, i tried running the game with task manager in the background so that i can check my CPU usage. It didn't go over 52% so it makes me believe it's not cuz of the CPU either!!!

I am running out of ideas.... anyone?

Thx

for whatever reason this game on ultra high doesn't like AMD dual cores...

my cpu is about the same as yours and i have the same problem.

a friend of mine has an intel core2duo, the same amount of ram (2gigs) and vga as me (9800gtx) and he runs it smoothly on ultra high settings.

I was playing the game with my nvidia card, all of a sudden my computer rebooted and random colors and stripes started to come out... more info: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=61822 Now cant even see anything on monitor? BSoD had the nv4_disp message on it, and it's a nvidia card problem, anyone have any idea of wat's going on with my pc?

could someone please help me i'm having problem with my new video card that i bought it is 1gb inno3d 8500 and i have a built in 256 video card on my mother board but when i set the setting to all high the whole game lags and the sound kinda hangs and sometime when playing the game it stops for a sec why is that happening isn't 1gb already too high for nba 2k9? and when i attach the new video card on my cpu my pc slows down when opening folders etc. could someone please tell me i installed all the drives correctly

Can you post your NVIDIA Control Panel settings?

IS your mgpu turned off in bios?

Someone had asked me to post a screen shot... Here ya go!
