i have the 8800gts 320 with an old althlon64 single core 3000@2.5 everynow and then in COD4 it judders (as it loads textures i assume) very annoying when in battle! now my mate has the same card with a intel E6850 and he has the same, he`s really annoyed cos his sons AMD 5800 with X1950 runs it flawlessly with better looking textures! ive just read somewhere to turn of specular map which does the trick but damn its ugly! Help!
i dont have that problem. i run cod 4 maxed out @ 1280x1024. get 40-60fps. nice and smooth no juddering. how much ram do u have.
Same here with HD 3870. Seems to happen in pretty much all games I play though..the videocard drivers are still not ready for these new cards it seems.
that seems kinda low? i run COD4 on my wifes machine @ 1280x1024 16xCSAA 16xAF max ingame settings and get anywhere from 60-100+ fps. ive never seen below 60. mainly 80-90 fps. wifes comp: Athlon64 single core @ 2.7 Galaxy 8800GT 512 600/900 (stock) 2 gigs ram
i have a different graphics card to you plus i ahvent actually ran fraps through i was jsut taking i guess coz i thought i saw some dips below 60.
For the most part I stay above 60 FPS when playing COD4. There are areas where my FPS drop into the teens. Not sure why.
He's not talking about low framerates. He's talking about a "stuttering" effect that would best be described as a "frame skip" in certain situations that isn't caused by poor CPU/RAM performance or hard drive churning, even when the frame rate stays consistently high (60+).
Thats exactly what i`m talking about though last night we had a lan and i turned off shadows and soften smoke edges and turned the textures down to high and i didn`t notice any stutters, i`m gonna order a dual core but only having socket 939 i`m quite limited
OT but I also get stuttering in BF2 when I use High textures, no probs with Medium. Conclusion: 256MB video memory not enough. Perhaps the same with Cod4?
perhaps. i ran out of memory running COD4 and BF2 @ 1024x768 with lots of AA with a 256mb card. i just recently upgraded to a 512mb card and now i run at 1280 with more AA and its silky smooth. imo 256mb's just doesnt cut it anymore.
Oops should of put "how" not "has" so once ive run a timedemo in cod4 how do i see how the results.i.e FPS and time taken, cos in q3 years back you just brought down the console and the results were there!!
I get studdering also with my 8800 gtx playing gtr 2 and a time long ago with my 7800gt playing it it ran perfect! Bottom line is I think nvidia drivers are hot creamy pile of poop lately. For kicks I installed old 9x revision drivers and gtr 2 played perfect! Anyways seems they are getting worse with drivers; not better.
