Neverwinter nights 2 - Nvidia 295 huge microstuttering

[coolhund]

rofl, this is no micro stuttering. I have the same issue and I have a single card. On my friends ATI its also the same.

Its a problem in the engine, its that easy.

[wlcina]

Hm, when I disable one core in my dual card, the symptom disappears, but FPS drops

[coolhund]

I remember having this problem very well. It freaked me out as much. I remember it getting less or more sometimes and sometimes it was completely gone. I tested it on my friends rig and it did the same. Its definitely a glitch in NWN2.

[coolhund]

Oh and micro stutters look just like normal low FPS while actually showing a high fps. They dont do jumps like that.

[puresofmeh]

Bleh, Microstuddering is a mere latency issue in the FSB.

[puresofmeh]

F that, get the 5970 bro!

Your best solution for stuttering, if all else fails, is to download a FPS limiter that creates a batch file and you simply run the game with that one.

[dirtbikeryzz]

No need to download, the card has an option to only use 1 gpu.

[klinci33]

Yes but that would have a great impact on general performance. Even wlcina mentioned that. Cheers.

[dirtbikeryzz]

Not in a game like this, single gpu is a downclock 275, so basically a little better then a 260, should run fine.

Oh my god mate, GET VISTA OR SEVEN. Xp will forevever be a classic but it is dying, the vista service packs have made it more stable, faster and just generally better than xp.

And xp was never meant to handle the bandwidth of these cards it just cant keep the HDD/GPU/CPU going at thier max because it just wasnt built for it. upgrade to vista or seven, its your best bet ;)

or buy a veloceraptor 10000RPM XD

[AODMASTER]

you still get it with vista, although not as much.

Could you try the following please: disable SLI under NVIDIA Control Panel and post another video. If the problem disappears, then microstuttering due to SLI is the problem. Also, what driver version are you using?

[wlcina]

i tried to disable multi gpu configuration, the stuttering disappeared - at least for my eyes, but the whole performance went down, I had to decrease the resolution and disable some effects.

Currently I am running on 182.50 nvidia driver - windows xp

[fubukiki]

Thanks for testing that. Useful info!

[askatan]

the new drivers eliminate stutters almost completely.

you are probably using ASUS drivers delivered with your card.

use new nvidia drivers instead.

ATI/AMD has NOT eliminated micro stutters.

and "changing drivers" is unspecific. use NEW ones from nvidia. you sound like a newbie, so maybe it's not even the GPU but your crappy system.

do you know that CPU, RAM and GPU have to be on a similar level to work well together? if you use a 5 year old CPU and board with little RAM, it will stutter

[wlcina]

Hi :-) I know that, my current system specs:

i7 920, 6gb ram Corsair 1600mhz, mobo: Rampage 2 Extreme, 2x 320gb samsung stripping, 4x 1TB WD for data storing, X-Fi Fatal1ty, PSU 1050W Enermax Revolution. I am using latest WHQL Nvidia drivers 182.50, tried beta drivers, custom drivers from 3D guru, nothing helps. Also tried various OS - Vista64,Vista32.. the same result. Anyway the card seller told me that he will not replace this BS for single GPU

[Morgensteinnn]

my game did this aswell on full graphics i have to alt tab and go back into the game, then i reinstalled it and it fixed it

[wlcina]

Do you have Nvidia GTX 295 type card ? I tried to reinstall, tried to change drivers, but nothing helps. I tried to borrow GTX 280 from my friend and it worked without stutters (except hdd loadings)

[Morgensteinnn]

i have nvidia GeForce 9600 i think might be 9800 GTX dunno about the 295

[dubmywub]

BFG seem to have the least cases of microstutter

thats why i went with them and i had 2 in sli

NO STUTTERING
