AC3 is pretty terrible, Maxes my CPU out.
No game has done that previously.

Disagree with Dark souls. I've owned it on Xbox360 and PC and much prefered the PC version.
Yes you need to own a gamepad to be able to play it properly and install a few simple mods but once you've done that it's glorious.
Never had a problem with Dead Island myself, ran it on a Phenom II dual core with a 5770, was constant 60fps at medium/high settings.
Only game i can think of recently that **** me off was Dead Rising: Off The Record, had to do all sorts of messing about to play it without stuttering, as the in-game graphic options don't seem to do anything no matter what setting you put it on. Great game though, just a shame it had console port style graphic settings.

That still doesnt excuse it for being an awfull awfull port
Indeed. I am playing it atm, and with dsfix it is excellent(though still some slowdowns). In its original state it was appalling!

even the complete mod doesn't fix the second one in the series (clear sky I think). on the last ~1/3 of the game you have a ~2/3 chance if it simply refusing to play, crashing constantly on the last couple of levels, refusing to load and completely bugging out on the last mission. The first 2/3 of the game was pure, bug-free awesomeness though
By the way that stuttering you are getting is a classic sign of running out of VRAM, something that happened a lot for me in STALKER because it likes to use 1.5GB+ on higher settings and I only have half of that

For GTA 4 there is a "fix" for AMD users at least. For me it ran like a dog (stutter, rubberbanding effect, to low FPS) even on a 7950@1170/1600MHz and 4,5GHz i5 2500k (all it's good with shadows disabled, but hey, the game looks to good with them maxed out!). Downloaded Radeon Pro, I've made a new profile for the game with the following settings:
*advanced tab - Changed "Flip Queue Size" to 3, but you can also play around with "Texture LOD" for sharper texture. Beware of flickering if you go overboard with values.
*tweaks tab - check "disabled Aero" and "Force Process High Priority". Also make sure that CPU Affinity is checked for all cores.

dead island was fine for me maybe nvidia cards were much better at rendering the game than amd or something ?
With GTA4 it uses too much of the processor and not enough of the graphics card. When I play, one of the four cores goes to around 95% while the others stay around 30% and when that happens the frames always dip. The graphics card isn't even used to its full potential as its a CPU bottleneck. You probably need 4.5GHz or even 5GHz to truly get 60fps constantly with no dips.

Isn't Spiderman virtually unplayable if you have a certain brand of graphics card (Either ATI or Nvidia obviously)
