are you doing any overclocking? either cpu or memory etc? as this can give you errors like stuttering etc, but also you're spec is plenty but your video memory is low, can you add system memory to it in bios? slower yes, but if you can it will help, apart from that i'd turn a few things down, for me if you're having problems in other games as well, i'd upgrade to a better card, doesn't have to be the fastest tbh, just more ram would help with large textures etc in most games. looking at your report now, Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Chip type: AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x6739) DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz) Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6739&SUBSYS_0B001787&REV_00 Display Memory: 4095 MB Dedicated Memory: 1003 MB Shared Memory: 3092 MB Drive: C: Free Space: 7.3 GB DirectShow Filters are old, same as Video Compressors: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%207%20-%2064#amd-catalyst-packages update your video card drivers to the latest, reboot and see if it's any better, i've picked the right ones for your card and o/s for you, if it makes no difference do you have any codec packs installed? as noted above they are older / out of date as well, might make no difference tbh but worth a try, can't make it any worse as you should always have the latest versions anyway, good luck... ps, while you meet the Product Requirements : minimum and recommended spec etc, it doesn't mention video ram size but to play anything almost nowadays, more is always better tbh..... :( other things to try, in your settings of your video card, alter, v-sync is on, see if it's any better, if not and it's turned on then turn it off, running a game in windowed mode, same again try both and check results, using triple buffering in conjunction with vsync, capping the frame rate to 60, 58 or 30, changing the maximum pre-rendered frames in Nvidia Inspector to 1 or higher, there are others to try but i could go on for ever tbh. better to try 1 things first and se the results, none will be as good as newer drivers, more ram on video card, more space on hdd or a better faster one altogether tbh. cpu is a real thing, games now days aren't multi threaded / core programed, this may or may not be one of those games, so a dual core with a faster speed maybe better than a quad core running at a slow clock speed if you understand, it all depends on many factors, o/s aware and multi core use, games programmed for multi core / thread use.. seems a funny thing to say but in the odd game i've disabled the first core of my i7 and got the game working better, as most games work in the first core =0, so disabling the first 0 core made the the work get shared in windows 8 to the rest of the cores, this isn't the same thing at all, just mentioned it as one solution never fits all faults, and most faults are never game related either, normally hardware first, then drivers second etc etc quote:
ORIGINAL: mensrea Zakblood - I'm running a hexacore 3.8 ghz processor, with 16 gigs of RAM, recent video card with 1 gb memory, 160 gb SSD, asus ROG motherboard, 64 bit windows 7. You may be able to see even more info in my dxdiag report attached up above. I have tried setting everything to its lowest setting, my video drivers are all up to date, my profile is as clean as it can get as I am obsessive about not running unnecessary programs (regularly review msconfig, running processes, etc)at any time. I removed a bunch of stuff from my SSD to free up space for paging files too. I have tried the lowest sized maps with no pirates/monsters/independent AI. In addition, I run AVG, spyware blaster, Kaspersky TDSS and a couple other things routinely. I also run firefox with script blocker to minimize infections to begin with. More than likely this is a result of some specific hardware/software combination, which tends to happen even on very good systems with perfect software. For instance, I just went through hell with the game warframe; it turned out the game needed me to underclock my RAM or it would crash chronically...but yet it worked perfectly fine on my buds computer and I had built both using components from the same manufacturers (just more recent versions on hers). Further, my buds computer is even better than mine, octocore 3.8+, better RAM, video card, newer motherboard (still ROG). The only difference being that she uses a HDD with over a terabyte instead of an SSD. Both computers have also been sized correctly for power needs, all that jazz. She got the stutters as well. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be appreciated but at this point I'm afraid I may have to wait until the patch.
