james170288 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Should do, like most games if your graphics card isn't great you can compensate by getting rid of certain aesthetic features like weather. Also you could try reducing your reslolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorsmen Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Also try turning down the graphics to low, and maybe switching off the stadiums and backgrounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh83 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 i want it to be high as i couldnt watch it without the high detail but its jerky so am looking for ways to make it smooth without losing the high detail level.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It will be the high detail that is likely to be making it jerky. You could try unticking all the other stuff but I think the detail level makes the biggest difference. You could also try switching to windowed, sometimes that makes a difference.

alexyfoot Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I've got no problems whatsoever with 330M ... I play it on medium details and everything ticked. It is possibly your drivers - try updating them from nvidia.com. If problems persist it is probably a hardware issue. I can confirm the card is good enough for the highest possible details but I've lowered them to lower temperatures. If drivers update doesn't work and it is in warranty, I'd suggest contacting Apple. edit: I play in windowed mode. You might give this a try. Just tried high details and full screen and I have no problems so I think it would be incorrect drivers. Also try downloading GPU Observer widget for Win 7 and observe how much memory is used (mine is at about 200-300 MB during FM render) and what the temperatures are - if they are too high it might be cooling issue. edit2: refusing to lower the detail level just to see if work on medium is plain stupid. It doesn't matter anyway - there isn't much difference between medium and high in FM and the temperatures drop is quite handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh83 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 how can i update drivers for the mac on this card, its saying there isnt one out for it? are you running lion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyfoot Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I don't have a Mac, no idea what Mac provides you with above are the actual Nvidia drivers. edit: actually you can try this: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk through internet explorer.

Smurf Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Contact Nvidia support. I did the live chat with them and they were able to send me a new driver that was listed on their site. Live chat support with Nvidia is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
