What are your specs?

If you run the Crysis 3xpass benchmark the first run always has low minimum framerates and stutters. Just part of the game engine IMO.

crysis, like so many games today, compile shaders when they get viewed for the first time.

yeah you gotta "shake it out" with the mouse, ive noticed that with a lot of games

do a few 360 turns and things tend to smooth out

Yup, he isn't kidding. I had the same problem and gave up. Maybe recent driver updates for both vendors broke this game but it's unplayable for me as well on my hd7950 because of stutter.

From memory there was a difference with how the game streams in new data as you move through the levels based on whether or not you're running the 64 bit version or not, it was some feature exclusive to the x64 architecture.

So here's a question, do you run the x64 executable or the x86 (32bit) and if you've not tried either, what happens if you switch? That might help narrow down the results.

The worst part is, Crysis 1 looks better than tons of new games out, especially with mods. Yet I can't get it to be smooth

My guess would be either on demand compilation of shaders or on demand loading of texture resources.

Can you list your specs including mouse?

My PC is weaker than yours
i7-4770k
HD7950
8GB RAM
Samsung Evo SSD 240GB (not sure which one)

Mouse is a generic wireless logitech mouse(I don't use it so it really isn't relevant). I was going to play with an xbox 360 controller though and that's what I was using until I noticed that horrid stutter that wouldn't go away.

Had the same issues it has to do with the newer cards boosting/decreasing their clock speeds all the time. Go back to an older card that didn't have the boost feature and it works fine.

Also monitor your card with MSI afterburner or something while playing the game you'll see the clock speeds jump all over the place.

Crysis 1/cry engine 2 are one of the few really optimized engines that pull everything from the card that it can give and it really shows how boost clock is bs. It never boosts in times of actual need, just boosts when you are looking at things that already give you higher frames.

You can try this in modern games too, same thing happens but the clock speeds don't go all over the place the same way as they do on cry engine 2. But you'll notice for example in BF4 when you are in demanding moments or looking at a demanding view boost cuts out.

Windows 8.1 helps somewhat. But not that much with crysis. AMD cards don't have the problem but it's AMD, not my cup of tea they have their own share of problems/lack of features, but crysis will be fine.

And yes crysis still reigns as king.

Boost clock is bs trust me, it's just like how samsung phone's overclock when they detect benchmarks. :X /End rant of truth. I'm about a year behind in terms of everything but I doubt this has changed, there wasn't a fix for it at the time, let alone people who knew about this issue. You can reduce the stutter, I forget how, I think I disabled boost clock (might have been a bios mod) and took out any GPU overclocks I had and used a custom GPU utility to lock in a certain power mode (NVMonitor?). But they'll still be there, just less.

There is only one page in the thread, you didn't even tread through it.

 

[OlyAR15]

Well, as a last resort, there is always the nuclear option: reformat, reinstall Windows and the game. If you are lucky, it may have been some odd remnant of an old program and a fresh install will fix the problem. Then just start adding back your programs if/until the stutter returns. Of course if this doesn't fix it then you will have wasted your time.

What are you smoking mate ?

 

[gorcorps]

I would start disabling anything that's not completely necessary and see what helps. For example, if you're using Logitech or anybody else's software for your mouse, etc... try shutting down those services and just use the mouse without the extra stuff running. Your sensitivity and such will probably be off, but it's worth a try (has been an issue for me before).

 

[Black Octagon]

Don't run it on max, and certainly forget about AA. a 120+Hz monitor also helps a lot (coupled with a frame rate over 100fps)

Because if you had, you would have seen two users are having the issue. One with an Nvidia card(OP), and one with an AMD card (Myself).

But of course, lets make this a crusade vs boost clocks, and my card has no boost clock....

Your post provides nothing useful other than a there there buddy. Get off my couch.

Anything other than what I've said above is speculation, but I'm pretty sure games maybe even cards or something caches things that have just been rendered or things they think have a high probability of being looked at again.

To kind of back my theory of caching play some more crysis and as you go around into new levels, engage in new events(heavy firefights) you'll notice the dipping in clock speeds more thus making the game stutter. I don't recall the stuttering a 100% as its been a while, but I feel like fast turning did make it stutter at times.

And not worth messing with the card imo, unless your familiar with it can be quite annoying/difficult due to lack of good documentation/dos boot tools.

Our setup is pretty similar,
3930k, 3.7ghz, ASUS P9X79 Deluxe, OC might have been at 4.0 or 4.4 back then. I tried messing with a whole bunch of bios settings too I think. But it was 24hr Folding@Home stable. (Stresses better than P95 or anything else from what I've seen)
780 classified, could have been a regular 780 back then or even a 770. (Also Folding@Home stable).
32GB ram 1600Mhz(?)
It was running of my 2x 128gb 840pro raid, also tried in on a hard drive in case the raid array was bad... I know.
2560x1440.

What kind of frames were you getting, I tried Master_Config and it made the game look alot better and stressed the card a bit more, which might have helped a bit. If you have a good heatware profile or live near (DC/NVA area) by I don't mind swapping you graphics cards if you want to try and fix this. The 780 classified has a dual or maybe a tripple bios which helped me a good bit in messing with the primary bios and just restoring it using the backup bios if I messed up.
