It can be caused by a bug. Remember we are talking about an old engine used by Rockstar Games. Whatever you put or change on SAMP mod it affects the engine's performance because it's running on gta_sa.exe.
When I had a nvidia 7600GT 256MB for 2 years, I was playing with it until 0.2X. I never had any problems with it.
Then I got myself a nvidia 9800GTX+ gddr3 1GB and kept playing on 0.2X without any problems. When 0.3 came, I noticed a bit more FPS demanding. I didn't change the CPU so that could not be it.
Matter of fact the chat GUI got visually improved because we could see changes, and that's when the lag came in.
Otherwise how do you explain to me having 30 FPS the majority of the time while playing SA-MP with /fpslimit 48 now, and running Black Ops on 50-60 fps?
This isn't happening only to me, otherwise I wouldn't be making it of a drama. This is happening to a really lot of people I know and many of that people has i7's with the latest graphic cards.
And for some reason players don't have FPS drops, even with Fraps recording or not, when they click F7 once to put the chat lighter.
Once the chat gets lighter, the lag is gone. So something's wrong with it. It may not happen to everyone, but it's happening with more and more people over the time.
It could be a CPU leak or something, I don't know it, I'm not a decent coder to tell anything, but the fact it's that it has to be the source of the FPS drops.
Splitting the CPUs to the gta_sa.exe helped the stability, but theres always lag when the normal chat is on, and once again after clicking F7 once, the lag disapears.
I think that's worth checking it.
@Sniper bug. I'm having problems catching this little bug on tape :P it's kinda been a bad luck because when I'm ready to frap it doesn't happen and when I'm not ready it happens :P I will keep trying.
