Frame rate fix??

Is there any possible way to fix the frame rate for 2k9 pc? Its set on 60fps, but doesnt play 60fps when set to high - ultra high. Was wondering if there is a upcoming patch or mod for this mishap...

I have:
8600gt 256mb DDR3 @ 600/1600
E8400 CPU @ 3.0ghz
2gb. RAM
17" LCD
XP OS
2x AF is activated in nvidia control panel

Here is my config file:

Code:

VIDEOSETTING_ADAPTERINDEX = 0
VIDEOSETTING_WIDTH = 1152
VIDEOSETTING_HEIGHT = 864
VIDEOSETTING_COLORDEPTH = 32
VIDEOSETTING_VSYNC = 0 (No Vsync but it's activated via D3DOverrider)
VIDEOSETTING_REFRESHRATE = 75
VIDEOSETTING_WINDOWMODE = 0
VIDEOSETTING_MSAA = 0 (**No AA)
VIDEOSETTING_MSAAQUALITY = 0 (**No AA)
VIDEOSETTING_MAXTEXTURESIZE = 4096 (**High)
VIDEOSETTING_DEPTHOFFIELD = 1 (**ON)
VIDEOSETTING_FLOORREFLECTION = 1 (**ON)
VIDEOSETTING_CROWDDETAIL = 1 (**Medium)
VIDEOSETTING_SHADERDETAIL = 1 (**High)
VIDEOSETTING_PLAYERLOD = 3 (**Ultra-High with cloth physics.)
VIDEOSETTING_SIDELINECHARACTER = 2 (**High)
MAIN_LOGICAL_THREAD = 1
GPU_LOGICAL_THREAD = 0
STALL_CPU_ON_END_FRAME = 1
LIMIT_FLIP_QUEUE_LENGTH = 2
LIMIT_FLIP_QUEUE_LENGTH_SLEEP = 0
STICKYKEY = 510
TOGGLEKEY = 62
FILTERKEY = 126
ACCESSIBILITYKEY_SAVED = 0
LANGUAGE = -482460772
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_0 = 1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_1 = 2
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_2 = -1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_3 = -1

The game looks beatiful, sharp enough and the gameplay is fluid.
FPS only drops when the camera gets into the panaromic arena view.

I'm not sure where you saw that it's "set" to 60, but if you saw that in a .ini or.cfg file, it might mean that it's "capped" at 60, and depending on your system and in-game settings, you may not be able to reach that high.

Of course it doesn't play at 60 fps when you increase the detail settings. Doing that causes more work for your system. I get 45-50 during gameplay with everything but MSAA at the maximum.

You may have Vsync on in your videocard settings control panel, that's why it is "set" on 60 fps, your monitor's refresh rate is set at 60. I turned it off and the main menu runs over 300.

I got a DELL Inspiron E1705

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7200 (4MB/2.00GHz/667MHz)
Screen: 17 inch UltraSharp TrueLife WUXGA, 1920 x 1200
RAM: 1GB (2x512), DDR2, 533MHz memory
Hard drive: 120GB 5400RPM SATA hard drive
Video card: 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS
Optical drive: 8X DVD+/-RW Drive
Wireless: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps)
Bluetooth: Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module (2.0 + EDR)
Misc: Remote Control for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
Battery: Default 6-cell battery
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

But I will most definitely try these tips and see which work best for my system.

Bro can i ask you a question? i can see from your PC configuration that you have a 4GB of RAM how did you force your PC to read 4GB of RAM. which version of windows are you using for this? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Your CPU and GPU meets minimum requirements easily. Your physical memory is somehow low, because today's games generally need at least 2gb. of RAM. But i said, you system reaches and pasts minimum requirements easily.

Here, copy + paste + overwrite these values into your NBA 2K9 config.cfg file. I hope it works.

What is your average FPS?

I didn't calculate it or used fraps to get some information. But it definately runs smooth as silk.

Bro can i ask you a question? i can see from your PC configuration that you have a 4GB of RAM how did you force your PC to read 4GB of RAM. which version of windows are you using for this? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

The only way to have it all recognized by Windows is to have Vista 64 bit. I have the 32 bit version, so the OS only uses 3.5 GB of RAM. Still more than enough though.

Damn.. You made my day. The game finally runs smoothly even in high settings. That D3DOverrider trick seems to work really well.
Thanks A LOT.

Just one question - what's "2x AF" and what does it do ?

2x AF means anisotropic filtering with 2x quality. It can be activated via nvidia control panel or ati catalyst center.

Especially, it does prevent blurs on logos and courts. That's why i activated it.

What do you mean by the D3Doverride?

VIDEOSETTING_VSYNC = 0 (No Vsync but it's activated via D3DOverrider)

I can't access any config. files in my C drive. I can't copy paste anything. 2k9 lags so much and my MSAA quality is N/A. Do I need some sort of converter for the config files?
