PC Performance issues solved

[Leftos]

Your 335 is one really, really bad graphics card.

I can finally run 2k12 at good settings with a good framerate! Thanks so much for this thread!

[TimoBoll]

I'm having an annoying lag after 3 minutes of game. Before that everything is perfect. Even if I set the players graphics at medium the lag still there. Help!

[karlsanada10]

What lag? lag or freeze? Try playing on windows mode. or disabled your internet when playing

Sorry if I spelled it wrong, I'm fighting with the english The game start to freeze from nowhere. I tried to disable internet and nothing, but I will run it on windows mode and see what happen

the gt 335m is 30% percent better than my gt 240m so you should be able to max it out, my computer's hardrive is full and fragmented and I still get 60fps now, on max 2xAA and crowd on medium

wait i dont have a config file in my 2k12 folder where do i put these settings? such as:
VIDEOSETTING_MAXTEXTURESIZE = 4096
VIDEOSETTING_DEPTHOFFIELD = 1
VIDEOSETTING_FLOORREFLECTION = 3
VIDEOSETTING_PLAYERLOD = 0
VIDEOSETTING_STADIUMLOD = 3
VIDEOSETTING_CROWDDETAIL = 2
VIDEOSETTING_SHADERDETAIL = 1
VIDEOSETTING_SIDELINECHARACTER = 0
VIDEOSETTING_ANISOTROPICQUALITY = 4
VIDEOSETTING_PARTICLEFFECT = 2
VIDEOSETTING_FORCE_HDR_ON_INTEL_GPU = 0
MAIN_LOGICAL_THREAD = 2
GPU_LOGICAL_THREAD = 1
STALL_CPU_ON_END_FRAME = 0
LIMIT_FLIP_QUEUE_LENGTH = 2
LIMIT_FLIP_QUEUE_LENGTH_SLEEP = 0
STICKYKEY = 482
TOGGLEKEY = 34
FILTERKEY = 98
ACCESSIBILITYKEY_SAVED = 0
LANGUAGE = -482460772
WINDOW_X = 0
WINDOW_Y = 0
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_0 = 1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_1 = 2
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_2 = -1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_3 = -1

In windows 7, it's your users/NAME/appdata/roaming/nba2k12/saves/config file which can be opened with note pad.
in xp, documents and settings/NAME/local settings/application data/nba2k12/saves/config file.

ooohok thanks

Thank you for the very first informative answer for people who doesn't know how to set this up, Pdub.

[ShippingToBoston9]

[Patr1ck]

It's not the first, but thank you. I think it was just easier to find in this thread.

UPDATED

So here are my new recommended fixes for all of your NBA 2K12 problems. This is what I have after over one month of fiddling with files and settings.

In my case I use D3Doverrider every year to fix VSync issues and to add triple buffering, I find that it works better than the Nvidia Control panel which I set to "Let application decide". MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

First: Your config.cfg (just copy this if you have a dual core and get around 6000 in 3Dmark06)

VIDEOSETTING_ADAPTERINDEX = 0
VIDEOSETTING_WIDTH = 1920
VIDEOSETTING_HEIGHT = 1080
VIDEOSETTING_COLORDEPTH = 32
VIDEOSETTING_VSYNC = 0
VIDEOSETTING_REFRESHRATE = 60
VIDEOSETTING_WINDOWMODE = 0
VIDEOSETTING_MSAA = 2
VIDEOSETTING_MSAAQUALITY = 0
VIDEOSETTING_MAXTEXTURESIZE = 4096
VIDEOSETTING_DEPTHOFFIELD = 1
VIDEOSETTING_FLOORREFLECTION = 1
VIDEOSETTING_PLAYERLOD = 0
VIDEOSETTING_STADIUMLOD = 1
VIDEOSETTING_CROWDDETAIL = 2
VIDEOSETTING_SHADERDETAIL = 1
VIDEOSETTING_SIDELINECHARACTER = 0
VIDEOSETTING_ANISOTROPICQUALITY = 2
VIDEOSETTING_PARTICLEFFECT = 2
VIDEOSETTING_FORCE_HDR_ON_INTEL_GPU = 0
MAIN_LOGICAL_THREAD = 3
GPU_LOGICAL_THREAD = 2
STALL_CPU_ON_END_FRAME = 0
LIMIT_FLIP_QUEUE_LENGTH = 2
LIMIT_FLIP_QUEUE_LENGTH_SLEEP = 0
STICKYKEY = 498
TOGGLEKEY = 50
FILTERKEY = 114
ACCESSIBILITYKEY_SAVED = 0
LANGUAGE = -482460772
WINDOW_X = 0
WINDOW_Y = 0
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_0 = 2
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_1 = 1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_2 = -1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_3 = -1

If you have a quad core or triple core adjust the "CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD" accordingly, if you have a more powerful GPU raise the "VIDEOSETTING_MSAA" and "VIDEOSETTING_MSAAQUALITY" values.

Mods: I take no credit for these but I know they work very well and might have actually increased performance while making the game look better.

Most importantly the Global file

TNeck_EnhSeries_Global_V4_DefMusc.zip

Crowd (this might have significantly reduced micro stuttering)

NLSC • Downloads - Enhanced Crowd Textures (NBA Teams)

Courts

NLSC • Downloads - Court Patch Pack 1 by Push

I won't be updating this so you might want to search for newer mods in the future.

[plasticstatic]

how do I set CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD for a quad core? I Am using a 955BE

Is it something like this, I bet im doing it all wrong lol.

CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_0 = 1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_1 = 2
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_2 = 3
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_3 = 4

[Patr1ck]

MAIN_LOGICAL_THREAD = 3
GPU_LOGICAL_THREAD = 2
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_0 = 1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_1 = 0
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_2 = -1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_3 = -1

or

MAIN_LOGICAL_THREAD = 0
GPU_LOGICAL_THREAD = 1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_0 = 2
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_1 = 3
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_2 = -1
CLOTH_LOGICAL_THREAD_3 = -1

[Pooh]

Here's my spec's
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.3GHz
GPU: 1GB NVIDIA GT 335M
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Memory: 4GBs of DDR3 Memory
Hard Drive: 500GB SATA II

[asonunique]

I would also like to know if this game can run smooth on my machine.

Here are the specs of my laptop:
i5 480M @ 2.67Ghz
4gb RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6550M

Usually when I run the game it's noticeably slower than on Xbox 360.

[Patr1ck]

You should. The only thing you don't have a is a good graphics card. That is probably costing you some performance.

[Pooh]

Pdub,Me or asonunique?

[Patr1ck]

Initially him, but you are in the same boat with that midrange card.

[Rangez]

These are my Computer Specs
Windows 7 64 bit
CPU: Inter Core i5 @ 3.20Ghz
System Model: Aspire M5811
RAM: 8192MB RAM
VGA: Nvidia GeForce GT 220 - 1024MB

What do you think?

[Pooh]

Pdub,I doubt its my graphics card,it already surpasses the minimum requirements,If any thing its my cpu speed.

[Patr1ck]

Your right. I didn't even look at your cpu. I didn't know they made core 2 duo at such a low mhz and with ddr3 support.
The recommended specs are a dual core at 3 ghz, and you are way below that.
