GTA:SA Lag

[Hobo]

GTA:SA lags like hell on my gaming PC. I get 10-60 FPS with constant drops. That's at a resolution of 1280X1024. The same PC can run BattleField 3 at 45-60 FPS on ultra @ 1080P (which looks beautiful).

GTA:SA runs fine on my laptop. I get ~45 FPS on high. No lag at all.

Gaming PC Specs:
3.5 GHz 6 core AMD FX-6300 CPU
Nvidia GTX 650 1GB
8GB DDR3 RAM

Laptop Specs:
Intel Celeron 2.20GHz dual core
Intel 3000 integrated HD Graphics
8GB DDR3 RAM


My question is, why the hell does my laptop run GTA:SA better than my gaming PC?

Same OS on each one? my old Windows XP runs SA better than Windows 7

AMD has fuck all to do with it. I have an Intel CPU, i still get lag. I think based on:

That, is San Andreas isn't a PC friendly game. I can run ETS2 with smoother frames than SAMP sometimes.

Laptop gets hotter than the PC

turn off FPS limiter and use streamfix?

I've turned FPS limiter on and off, no difference. I use a streamfix.

My pc runs samp on 100fps with no fps drops (only sometimes when i enter an area with a lot o vehicles to load) but i prefer playing with fpslimit set at 30. Acceleration is much better then

how big is your gta3.img? if you use 1.5 mod installer import remove if exsists is bugged and overlaps the old mod, making the size continuously grow. (Install a 4mb mod over top of a 1mb mod = +4mb = total 5mb rather than -1 +4. or, your directory might fuck it up. (x86) program files is screwy. put it in documents or desktop or something. mvoe the entire directory. um, delete gta_set in gta san andreas user files, overclock if you're not scared but thats just masking a heavy resource thieving problem... get a new cracked exe, they can bug themselves with no interference sometimes because they're on crack. re install sa-mp again, blow up your computer and give up on samp as your final resort.

Found problem. When Google Chrome is open GTA:SA gets shitty fps with a lot of fps drops. When Chrome is not open, GTA:SA is fine.
This only happens with San Andreas. Every other game is fine ._.
