Dropping Frames (fps)...

[Qxs-Storm]

I seem to have less frames per second than I used to.... this is a recent development and my testing today suggests that I'm either crazy, or there is a looming hardware failure.

Is there any tool to measure fps in GT% or PS3 in general ?

Loading times and hard drive activity are normal.... it's raw frames per second that are down. Thinking overheating atm... will try a fan I guess... or I'm crazy.

You crazy son.

But there are a few times where the framerate might drop noticeable, on tight corners, on traffic jams, on city tracks...

Yup...
but this is something different... I tried WipeOutHD and it ran flawlessly for a couple races... so I'm inclined to think that this is a problem with the recent update OR my install files.

Online play is pretty bad atm, sometimes the screen tearing is shameful.. unplayable imho.. I completed the 24h of Lemans over the summer (no issues) and I just now came from an online Lemans lobby, it's terrible really.. unplayable imho.

Over the last month or so I've had 3 lockups of GT5.. 2 of which required a hard reset, 3 beeps when it did it...

Anyhow... guess I'll just ignore it until something explodes or fixes itself.

Try cache clearing. Might help if you haven't done so already or haven't cleared in a long time.

What do you expect from a console with 256mb Ram and 512mb Video Ram ?

Had that problem on GTPlanet in the Video Forum.If you have a post with 10 Youtube videos in it , the PS 3 crashes and gives you a out of memory error.
