Really annoying - i get it every second for about the 1st minute of the game then it sometimes settles down...really annoying...does anyone else get this, know of any cures???

Please help? I've googled it tonnes of times but none of the solutions seem to work for me!!
 
I've not tried SP, since i re-installed the game on Win7/64

i really don't think it's bottlenecking - i5 turbos to over 3ghz on two cores (turbo is on)

vsync is on but that aint it. i used fraps and just by looking at the screen it's easily hitting the 60hz of my monitor, i recorded the frame times and min max average and i get a min of 2, with sometimes 0.7 seconds between frames...these are massive drops not just the odd dropped frame as if the cpu is struggling

I am on windows 7 yeah, tried it with and without avast running (or installed), tried the enable dual video cards option - still nothing, turning off vsync also makes no difference...done adaware sweeps (then turned it off)...

it's driving me up the wall, i bought this new rig to run cod6 (which i've not even bothered getting), but now it won't play cod as bad as my old x2 system!!!

It eats L4D2 alive (at that's cpu intensive)

Is it worth trying to manually update PB (but surely if that was a problem it would just boot me right??)

Argghhh!!
 
thanks for all the replys fellas, i really appreciate it.

The stutters to seem to clear up after a while whenever i log on, so i think you must be right about punkbuster.

Is this just a windows 7 thing?

Also does it really make a difference fps over 60? Are you guys turning down settings to get super high fps?

I mean i do run about like a bit of headless chicken in COD4 - it's more fun than camping - but i do tend to get owned in 1 on 1 - well beaten quite a lot...i thought it was just me being an old man ;)
 
OK so i'm ignoring the stuttering i get for the first minute and after that it goes away!!

Thanks for this, you've brought this game back from the dead for me.

I'm now playing an average 88 - mostly 91 according to fraps - is that capped?

Will the console command you're talking about raise that cap? Just read your earlier post again - yes...

Awesome will report back... I'm DukeRaoul in game, if you ever see me say hello, mention the OcUK forums eh?

I usually play on the TeM servers
 
OK was just using Fraps - before i read your message. After putting in max fps in the console to 333 i get

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
23343, 184839, 64, 258, 126.288

thats after waiting for the pb to calm down - and if you stay on the same server - it's only when you log on!! Nice one!!!

OK so seems like i should probably go with fps either 125 (just under average) or 250 just under max - any suggestions?

Also will think about overclocking my cpu - but with the turbo i'm tempted to just leave that on - need a new cooler anyway.

I have 10 meg virgin fibre optic line. is it worth upgrading to 20?

Does max packets smooth things out on the internet side of things?

This is all GOLD btw...:D
 
333 check i'll try 250 then

I game at 1650x1050

textures check - though i do like stuff to look good...

and the maxpackets thing?

Thanks Dg
