InitializeSettings()

6) Add rna.ini file in the "Game" folder of your FIFA 11 directory, inpud the following line in the file with notepad.
SCREEN_SLEEP=16
7) Intsall latest DirectX again
8} Defragment System, Defragment FIFA 11 Folder
9) ASUS ONLY, set the Power4Gear Hybrid To High Performance Mode

Conclusions:
With the above system/settings, I get 30-40fps in both gameplay and replays (with the occasional 27-28, but very rare and only for like 1 sec). Just sharing knowledge to see if it helps anyone out.

What baffled me was that by turning the LOD multiplier up I got less lags than at the EA original LOD setting wich where considerably lower, and dissabling some of the PostFX also helped. I read in a forum that setting the PostFX_AutoExp on helped with gameplay lags, but it did the opposite to me, play around with the settings.lua and find the best config for your system.

That's all good luck, I'll post if I find any new tweaks so stay tuned.

Lagging problem

I had the same problems with the lags.

I tried out everything, and after a while I found out the correct configuration.
Every Detail in FIFA is in High. I´ve made some screenshots from my configuration for your eyes.Just take a look, maybe it´s working for you,too.

Updated first post with changes which improve replays.

Changes
- Updated the NVIDIA control panel settings, added Anisotropic filtering and Anti-Aliasing settings. (REALLY HELPED REPLAYS & CINEMATICS, doesn't make sense because should perform better without AA?)
- Update setting lua, it is the stock EA settings, but with PostFX_ColorCube and PostFX_ColorCubeDepth turned off for performance purposes.
-Update added rna.ini file in Game folder of FIFA 11, with setting "SCREEN_SLEEP=16"


This changes boosted my cinematics and replays fps by 10%, I rarely see lags in any part of the game (even with my specs being below required minimum specs.

Stay tuned for more tips

can someone teach me how to create rna.ini?

1) Open notepad, type whatever code you want in it.
2) When finished click File -> Save As -> rna.ini (make sure you set file type as "All Files")
3) Enjoy

Friend!!!

First. you are Argentine???? Because I see(ArgVega)

The second thing to comment on yourself:

I have generated the changes of config NVIDIA that indicated, but I do not understand that it is " update lua and where I find it " as the "rna.ini" in order that it serves and where I stick them.

I wait for your answer!!! I From Argentina

Hey hermano!

Download this: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6d1tgz

Extract and copy "data0.bh" and "data" folder to FIFA 11/Game directory and presto

The truth is this, yes there is lag problems, but also, most users don't have a PC with minimun requirements, for Example I run the game up to 100 FPS, no problems of lag on replays and that, people that have a dual core, doesn't mean that being just that is fantastic, because sometimes it doesn't has the power of a single core.

How I overcame lag problem

Add the following line

SCREEN_SLEEP=16

in rna.ini.

In case you do not have rna.ini,

make a file named rna.ini in Game subfolder of FIFA 11 installed folder.

Put this
[]
SKIP_BOOTFLOW=0
FULLSCREEN=1
SKIP_NIS=1
DISABLE_NIS_PLAYBACK=0
LEGAL_SCREEN_DISPLAY_TIME=0
TITLE_SCREEN_TIME_BEFORE_PRESS_START=0
SCREEN_SLEEP=16

You can also modify settings.lua (For high settings)

as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_RainDrops", 1)
as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_AutoExp", 0)
as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Bloom", 0)
as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_DOF", 1)
as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Rectilinear", 0)
as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Vignette", 0)
as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_ColorCube", 0)
as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_ColorCubeDepth", 0)

as:SetInt(settingTable, "Grass", 1)
as:SetInt(settingTable, "Cloth", 1)
as:SetFloat(settingTable, "PlayerLodPercentageMultiplier", 5.0)

Note: I also have 8600 GT, and I used to have a lot of lags, not anymore. Now I enjoy lag-free game with all maxed up.

Nvidia released 260.99 driver.Update to it to get the most out your GPU.
Also if your processor is Dual-Core AMD download Dual-Core Optimizer from AMD's site.I have measured up to 25% performance increase in some games.

To modify the shortcut and to give high priority since one executes it.

Click right in the shortcut, properties and where says "destination", they write:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.Exe /c start "FIFA 11" / high "C:\Program Files\EA Sports\FIFA 11\Game\fifa.exe"
