ID Software - Odd Video Stutter

bluetech · 1 Aug 2007 at 21:48

A little odd here, I have a C2D 4300 @ 3.0 GHz and am using a BFG 8800 GTS 320MB, 2GB ram and GA-965P-DS3 mobo.

Problem is in ID software games, when there is a video scene there is a very quick stutter (not sound) every 1 second. Games are at latest patches, and drivers for GPU are up to date. FPS avg in game for Quake 4 is 60 FPS (not tested in Doom 3 yet but the video stutter happens here too). Video outside of these games is fine for movies and other games.

Any help guys?

I believe I know what you mean. Right at the beginning of Doom 3 in the first video around where Dr Butruger says "See that counsellor Swan is sent directly to me" I get a little video stutter. I've just accepted it really. Not really a big deal. I tried turning VSync on, which doesnt help.

My spec is QX6700, 8800GTX, 2GB RAM and Abit IN9 32X-MAX motherboard. I had this stutter on my old system too (3.0GHz P4, 6800 GT, 1GB RAM)

I can only assume its a problem with the engine.

When posting your spec it helps if you tell people what OS you are using

Thanks for the replies.

Do you get it in every video evey one second (not random, follows a "beat" if you like... and only video, not sound)?

I am using Windows XP Home (of course). With the amount of indexing in Vista, I am supprised games on the same HDD play. I remember toying around with games in Vista. Great apart from Battlefield 2 with indexing on, fly a jet, millisecond stutter, boom!

Anyhow, back to the point at hand. Have any others had this problem?
