Hi, i just installed nfs most wanted , but why am i getting lag in highest settings My Current Rig Phenom ii x4 OC'd 3. Oct 13, 34 0 10, 1. I'm pretty sure high textures is more important than ambient occlusion, so I'd recommend leaving the textures as it is and turning ambient occlusion down.

For example, while Need for Speed Most Wanted requires only about 6 GB to install game files, it requires at least 20 GB of free space to run properly. Freeing up space is important even if you already have the minimum required free hard disk space for your game.

This is because low space increases the chances of file fragmentation occurring, and this would further cause the game to lag. Research to find out how much space you should have for the specific NFS version that you are playing. Check how much space the hard disk or hard disk partition containing the game installation has. For Windows 7, follow these steps: Open the Start menu and go to Computer. Right-click the icon of the hard drive or partition on which your game is installed.

Delete unneeded files to free some space. Do this if you find that you need more space for the game. Open the Start menu and go to Computer. Double-click the icon of the hard drive or partition containing the game installation. This will allow you to view the contents. This key combination will ensure the files and folders are completely deleted rather than stored in the Windows Recycle Bin. Try moving files and folders to a different hard drive or partition. Method 3.

Know what a fragmented hard disk is. Another cause of lagging in NFS, one that is much ignored, is hard disk fragmentation. A fragmented hard disk is one on which parts of different files are not physically stored in optimal proximity to each other. If for instance there is a file that is required to load the main menu of an NFS game and one part of it stored in a sector of the hard disk far away from the second, there will be a lag in loading the main menu. Defrag your Windows.

Defragmentation is the process of consolidating file fragments to ensure files can be accessed faster.
