turn textures to low and AA off. if stuttering goes away, likely it was lack of Vram.

QFT

Yeah AA should definately be off.

There is no one answer my friend. Everyone shutters for different reasons. What exactly is happening to your rig? Maybe I can help?

its DAO... do you stutter in massive hallways? in the brescian ruins? its a software issue. Updating drivers worked for me - its most likely a driver bug.

GPU-z has a video memory monitoring feature now too.

Reset your bios to default and update your drivers to the latest. Once you do that we will talk catalyst.

you are running 7 on 2gb of some of the slowest ram by current standards - get another 4gb, OC the chips/or just drop timings to 4-4-4-12 and a 64-bit OS disk (your 32 bit key will work) - that will stop stuttering

the stuttering is probably the game having to swap data from the hard drive.

cover w/e you want, im not stopping you.

+ running out of ram is about as basic as it gets.

Vista/7 is notorious for using ~1GB to run on a fresh install that means his game has a gig to play with.

far less, with it being a DX9 game.

I say this over and over, but DX9 keeps a copy of the video textures in system ram - 2GB aint enough for gaming on vista with a game like MW2 that can use 900MB of Vram

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? :laugh:

hi,i have a few things to point out,firstly ,vista and windows 7 will run quite happily on 2 gig ram,i believed the hype saying 2gig wasnt enough,i upgraded to 4 g ,ran pc mark and tested with games ,it made very little if any difference,your main problem is your cpu,quite frankly 2.2g isnt fast enough,you may get away with 3g so long as your cpu temps dont get to high,i have found from my own experience that oc`ing gpu isnt worth the hasle,infact it just made my sytem slower in 3d vantage,i think you may be expecting your system to do more than it can,there are 2 things you can do ,either (depending on your budget)upgrade your cpu,with the i7,i5 and now the i3 chips all the other intel chips are getting cheaper by the day,or try a game with settings striped right back to minimum setting then increase the settings one stage at a time until you find a happy medium between quality and performance

Stuttering problems can be caused by a variety of things which is why it's hard to track down.

Hardware:
-incorrect overclock settings
-low vcore for the CPU's OC
-not using the recommended voltage for your ram
-using the wrong divider for your ram
-PCIe frequency is incorrect
-north bridge voltage is incorrect
-Your CPU is a complete bottleneck and not adequate to run the game at that resolution smoothly (which might be because the vcore is set to low).
-etc

Software:
-corrupt registry which may require a reinstall of your OS
-using a antivirus program or anti adware program that's consentingly scanning while you are gaming
-updated video card drivers are needed
-an update to the OS maybe needed (rare)
-In game settings are to high for your PC
-etc

an increase from 2.2 to 3g for cpu wouldnt need voltage setting to be changed,memory setting dont need to be changed and neither does the nb volt setting,im sure if he`s got enough knowledge to change his cpu setting he`ll know what other settings he has changed,if he has reset mobo bios and still has problems then it is not the memory or nb settings,as i have already said he is expecting to much from his system,the e4500 is a low end chip more suitable to media centre`s,a cpu score of 3746 is very low which outlines the main problem,he only has a hd 4850 which is a low-mid range card,i hate to say this but it is not a gaming machine,not the latest games at least,suggesting an upgrade to a 64bit is only anygood if the games support ,most games dont,the hd 4850 is dx10 whats the point of downgrading to a dx9 os,both vista and windows 7 manage the memory better,if he only has the 512mb version of the 4850 that will cause problems too,the problem is not just the cpu it is the system overall

Software XP Pro SP3 to Windows 7
Benchmark Scores This varies from one driver to another.
an increase from 2.2 to 3g for cpu wouldnt need voltage setting to be changed,memory setting dont need to be changed and neither does the nb volt setting,im sure if he`s got enough knowledge to change his cpu setting he`ll know what other settings he has changed,if he has reset mobo bios and still has problems then it is not the memory or nb settings,as i have already said he is expecting to much from his system,the e4500 is a low end chip more suitable to media centre`s,a cpu score of 3746 is very low which outlines the main problem,he only has a hd 4850 which is a low-mid range card,i hate to say this but it is not a gaming machine,not the latest games at least,suggesting an upgrade to a 64bit is only anygood if the games support ,most games dont,the hd 4850 is dx10 whats the point of downgrading to a dx9 os,both vista and windows 7 manage the memory better,if he only has the 512mb version of the 4850 that will cause problems too,the problem is not just the cpu it is the system overall
This for the most part is not correct in this case because voltage can impact the speed in which the CPU will perform. You can get a stable low vcore but when the CPU is fully stressed the performance is not as good as it could be. Another example is the use of EIST; which can be used to lower the vcore when the CPU is idle. The CPU does have that kind of vcore range were a lower vcore makes the CPU stable during low/no CPU demand while more vcore is needed for high cpu demand.

So in the end, just because you are able to OC your CPU with no voltage increase doesn't always mean that vcore is ideal for that overclock! This is why we used programs like SuperPI, etc when trying to determine vcore. Furthermore, some bioses actually increase vcore automatically without any intervention from the user. So in that example vcore still increases (assuming that auto was used for vcore).
