What's with the lag? : Fallout: New Vegas

It freaks people that i can wrap my thumb and middle finger easily around my bicep.

I am a weak individual. :confused:

Before I could bend my leg to the sides instead of just forward.

So I think double jointed.

Can't remember.

I got it about 2007.

But it's sad, People can put their entire hand around my wrist.

I have really skinny arms.

I'm fairly muscular (a nerd that goes to the gym and hunts... A dangerous combination) so my arms aren't that skinny, but I can related to having tiny wrists. I'll tell you one thing though. If you ever get in a fight, having small wrists is something that's in your favor. I was horsing around with a buddy of mine one time and he was trying to grab my wrist so he could twist my arm behind my back and he couldn't get a good grip because my wrists are so small. He just kept twisting and twisting, and all I did was laugh... It really pissed him off hehe.

The only time I've noticed Lag was during Kimball's Speech that whole area was lagging probably because of the number of NPC's that were in the area.

Nothing so much on locations mentioned above but for me the Red Rock Canyon area is almost unplayable. Nothing seems to help with this either. Only when i start to head back towards New Vegas it allways stops on same spot near the Great Khans armory building. After that it′s smooth again.

Granted, lots of npc′s wondering around there and so. Hope they fix whatever is causingh this on the patch...

Same as since the beginning, conflicts caused by odd features and functions added to Geforces since nVIDIA bought out the Ageia (PhysX) company and started trying to produce a super parallel CPU instead of just a GPU, as the primary purpose for the Fermi and immediately prior GT200's overall design.

Augh, that quest is a nightmare, I think it has more to do with how many scripts werel likely running during that quest.

I noticed my FPS drop in those areas to. I have dual 5870's, 4GB RAM and a q9550. If I fast traveled to Goodsprings when all was loaded and I was looking at the saloon my FPS were bang on 45. The worst was in Freeside, dropping to the 30's. (Rounding the corner heading to the gate with the M&R's kid.) I bumped the q9550 from the stock clocks of 2.83Ghz to 3.83Ghz and now I get 55+ in all those areas. (55 being Freeside.) I was rather pleased to say the least.

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that

Bittersprings
Camp Forlorn Hope
Freeside (specifically around that little boy with Mick and Ralphs)
Camp McCarran (Exterior area)
and the Crimson Caravan, can be bad about lagging at times.

Is there any specific reasons for this? Oddly I've noticed these are also all exterior cells that are lagging.

I've noticed the same thing in my game. Camp Forlorn Hope was the worst for me.
