I'm only really lagging near crowded locations. (mutliple npc's in one area) or (large gunfights)

I'm using a radeon HD 5970 , a Q9650 (quad core cpu) at 3.0ghz, 8gigs ddr2 800, windows 7 64bit.

By all means i should be destroying at least 3 instances of this game running at the same time, but I'm hitting 20 frames per sec in crowded//large gunfight areas. So /shrug/ I doubt its a hardware problem. The game definitely needs to be patched and/or possible driver updates//ati crossfire application profile update //. One thing is clear, something needs to be fixed.

As much as I'd like to say it's the game (which partly it is since every one has frame rate issues) With those system specs very few modern games will not run very well with your cpu, videocard, and RAM. I'd recommend some hardware upgrades if you don't want significant lag. otherwise maybe try the console versions instead.

It's more of an engine limitation really. This problem has been present since Oblivion. And unfortunately, with it being a game engine problem and all, there is absolutely no way to fix this. It's not Obsidian or Bethesda's fault in this case, it's Gamebryo's fault. The engine is poorly optimized.

I did notice, however, that using the directx 9 dll fix that's floating around really helps with NPC slowdowns during combat. In fact, it doesn't really slow down at all. Instead of downloading the fix though, I'd recommend finding the d3d9.dll file on your own computer to help avoid some problems that people seem to be having with it. You can find that file here:
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-directx-direct3d9_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_c223c2c8c219cb6a

Take that dll file and copy it into the root folder, which is your Fallout New Vegas folder (the folder with the launcher and main exe files in it).

Tell me if that helps a bit. If not, I apologize for I don't know what else to tell you. :shrug:



EDIT: For the OP, what Nin3 says is true. From your specs, you're basically running the game on just enough to get it running. I'd recommend a better CPU and more RAM (especially more RAM, since Windows 7 on idle takes up about 1 GB of RAM). The card seems fine, but I'm not too sure on that as I don't use NVIDIA cards.

Yes, I realize that some of the problems relate to my PC, but I could run Fallout 3 on Medium graphics smoothly. Since Fallout New Vegas is running the same system specs. as 3, I supposed that I could play it as well. I guess I was wrong, or is it also due to the game itself? Maybe a patch will fix my problems?

Also, would an AMD 32+ 6400 Processor run this better than what I'm running at the moment?

Well NV runs substantially worse than FO3 so a patch could resolve your frame rate issues. We'll just have to wait and see. Unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable on AMD CPUs, however it really will depend on several factors, but the main things you should look out for in a cpu is how many cores and how many Ghz it runs at. There is also the architecture but I wont get into that. For now since this game runs like garbage for everyone I'd just wait for a patch.

Use the d3d9.dll hotfix that is floating around the forums. Just download the file (or find it on your computer) and copy it into your games main folder (the one with the .exe file). It has worked for the majority of people.

Read his post. He said he tried it and it didn't help.

the d3d9.exe file improved performance some, but the game still CTD's after so many minutes of gameplay

Mk, I'll wait for a patch. Thanks for your help-
