Would upgrading to a GPU with more ram stop stuttering?

Um.... your desktop has a game shortcut called RapeLay lol I didn't know what it was but Wikipedia says, "The game centers on a male character who stalks and rapes a mother and her two daughters."

Maybe your computer is stuttering because it finds it to be creepy?

Um yeah I saw that too. WTF?! :twitch:

I think the fact that he needs a desktop shortcut for the "game" makes it even worse. :laugh:

So, you know what the answer is. don't ya? Cpu cache is hurting you. I need 3.3ghz on quad AMD chips to get rid of the stutter.

???!

My X3 720 can handle Dragon Age full settings with no stutter ever! No way would you need a 3.3GHz Quad Core to deal with that...

Edit: Also, kinda creepy...

2560x1600? Crossfire 4890's? I think that this is part of my problem(two cards means literally twice the driver overhead).

3 other 1920x1080 monitors? Full system must be considered.

For my system, that's what it takes.

Actually, with the new Dirt2 hotfix, cpu utilization has gone down ALOT. Now, yes, I have found 2.8ghz is fine. Also seems to depend on which version of Dragon age you are running...

The OP asked if getting a 1GB card would solve his issues, stating he was getting 100% cpu utilization...I said no, his cpu's cache was probably killing it for him.

it could also be something as simple as his HDD being fragmented, or his antivirus being a douche.

while its great to post suggestions, it seems odd that you're all leaping right into the "NEW HARDWARE!" path with zero evidence that it will actually help

I agree. A new video card most likely isn't needed. I'm willing to bet that the stuttering/freezing is being caused by sytem RAM that is impoperly configured, background processes and or a messy HDD.

After the new driver, and playing around, I'd have to agree, too.

Mind you , in Denerim, with those kids running around, they still "jump" a bit, even with cpu @ 3.6ghz, abt 60% cpu use, vgas @ 36% each...might just be how the game works, period.

Could be absolutely NOTHING wrong with his system. If it's the STEAM version, defragging the game's cache after big downloads is ALWAYS a good idea.

i have a qx9650@4g with no volt change and my system is perfect

rahulyo · Dec 4, 2009

I trying to play Games at 1600x1050 and 1440x900 but still facing stuttering problem ...

Any help guys ...

rahulyo · Dec 4, 2009

After come back to default settings i.e. CPU E4500 @2.2GHz and GPU at 685/1000 not facing any stuttering problem in Dirt2 Demo.Playing it at 1900x1080 with 2xAA and Ultra high settings ...

the goose · Dec 4, 2009

ok,thats a start,try your games with your cpu oc`d then your gpu oc`d,but do then separately

the goose · Dec 4, 2009

is your psu 450watts,that may be a problem when your oc`ing your cpu and gpu

rewindlabs · Dec 4, 2009

Some of the reply's in here are just sooo funny...

As to the OP's problem it is NOT his CPU...iv got an AMD 6000+ at 3.2Ghz paired with a 4850 512MB at 750/1050 and there has been NO stuttering what so ever in dragon age...the system is running on a 1280x1024 monitor for the moment and iv set the AA i believe to 2X but it may be as high as 4X

Windows 7 64-Bit and 4GB's of decent ram BTW

Sounds like the OP is running out of Vram...i know when i ran my 4850 512MB on my 1680x1050 monitor in dragon age and tried pushing 8XAA i watched my stat readouts show that i ran out of vram as well as the game stuttering along unplayable

I just wonder what is going to be marketing line for RapeLay II = " Now even more mothers and daughters "

the goose · Dec 4, 2009

i think that rules out vram

You did notice i said "As to the OP's problem" that means my message was to the original poster...as to Dirt 2 and 2xAA bla bla bla so what?

Hey look i can play GTA 3 at 1900x1080 with 8XAA on ultra settings with only 512MB's of vram!

We are talking about entirely different game's here...different engine's and different people behind the engine coding it so unless he is able to run EVERY game at that resolution along with AA caked...just because he can run Dirt 2 with those settings does not mean he could go and run Crysis with the same results

The E4500 guy just doesn't have enough Vram for his resolution...he has enough that he should be able to play most titles without AA but if he wants AA he'll be SOL in a lot of games

rahulyo · Dec 4, 2009

What is SOL ???

Mussels · Dec 4, 2009

shit outta luck

mdsx1950 · Dec 4, 2009

Try using game booster 1.22 since it stops all unneccessary services and appications that are running. It even shuts down windows aero temporarily. But still if u insist on upgrading go for a 5870. I can assure you that you will see quite a big difference and you wont have to upgrade for a quite a long time. Cheers :cool:

the goose · Dec 5, 2009

sol=shit out of luck i guess lol

LoneReaction · Feb 26, 2010

Ahh, sorry to bump up this thread, while you guys were trying to help me, I was doing some stupid 9 week truck driving courtesy of the local military, and practically get out of camp only 1 day a week.

I happened to have the good luck of needing a pc for my sister, and so got to upgrade to an i7 860. Still using the same old 4870 512MB, same HDD, PSU. Dragon age stuttering problem gone! Also, I completed Mass effect, which I stopped playing in 2008 due to stuttering and lag.

Most games run very smoothly now (same fps, but smoother, if it makes any sense?). Gonna keep the 4870 for awhile more!
