Believe it or not I have never played through the Half-Life series of games before, I have tried them but never sat down and properly played through the series.
I recently updated my rig from a Phenom II/HD 5770 to an i5 2500K/GTX 560Ti 1 GB. Importantly, the same RAM/PSU and HDD's have been used in both.
I first noticed the source stutter issue on my new rig in Portal, jittery gameplay with an erratic stutter. I had never had this before on my old rig both with vsync off, or with vsync on (though I had to set fps max 61 fps to get rid of a consistent tick like stutter with vsync on)
So I fire up HL2 today and it's exactly the same as Portal, jittery with erratic stutter. I tried my old fix of fps max 61fps with vsync on but no joy.
I have subsequently tried all of the drivers available for use with my GTX 560Ti and all display exactly the same stuttering issue.
I decided to try some other source engine games.
Portal 2 - No problems Max Details 1080p
Half Life 1 - No Problems
CSS - No problems
HL2 Episode 1 - Exactly the same stutter issues
I then decided to check CPU usage in the problem games, here's what it showed -
What the hell is going on there then? I have tried running the problem games at the lowest settings, multicore enable/disabled, lower resolutions etc and still no change
Anyone have any ideas how I can sort this?
I currently have no issues with other games -
Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Portal 2
Alan Wake
Mafia 2
WOW
GTA IV
Mass Effect
Ghostbusters
Oblivion
Fallout 3
So therefore I would like to think it is not a hardware problem, let me know your thoughts and ideas please
I'm gonna download left for dead 1 & 2 tonight, I have previously run these on my old rig flawlessly so will be interesting to see if they have suffered also.
