Fear Extraction Point

I ran the game at 1280x960 MAX in game without Soft Shadows 16x AF CCC- defaults, AI - low

The game usually ran fine but there were occasional jerks and the occasion came just too often, too often.

In the place where we go through the tunnel and there is a fire spray and before that we do some shooting, I found my game to run very choppy in that place.

Are these jerks and choppiness common to other Demo users as well?

Is this the max settings a Radeon 1900XT/XTX can play the game at?

FPS were fine.
 
I have seen the charts and my FPS are normal, or maybe even better than what they get. I had Soft Shadows off though, don't know about them.

But I want to know whether others too get the jerks or not?

You mean you didn't get any jerks at all.

Were all settings including SS or AA on?
 
I didnt notice any sort of jerking in the game.

I was using AA.

Not 100% in what all my other settings were, I haven't played the demo in ages, and no longer have it installed.
But I know I had everything maxed or close to it.
 
akshayt, with ALL of your games "jerking" like that I'm almost positive it is your RAM. Even if you have the same amount, some improper timings or possibly a 2T command rate instead of 1T maybe contributing to it.

I think to this day he still hasn't installed the correct chipset drivers for his system.

Oh, and Fear Extraction Point is crap! 😛

That to.

akshayt, what about your timings? Are they within spec or automatically calibrated through the motherboard bios? If they are then all I can think of is crappy RAM or what BFG10K suggested with proper chipset drivers.
 
1)Default is 3-3-3-8 2T
I have changed it to 2.5-3-3-8 1T

2)I don't think the RAM is bad, is there any way to know for sure that they need to be RMAd?

3)The drivers are installed fine.
 
Try setting it back to 3-3-3-8 and put it at 1T. If it still does it with as many games as you're complaining it does it with, I'd suggest some different RAM. That is one of the only things I've seen stutter-up systems.
 
OK, I will try that. But it wasn't exactly stuttering, it was more of occasional jreks except in one point where there was stuttering. Anyway, I will try that.
 
Those occasional "jerks" are most likely either occasional input lag or various loadings. It is normal to have a "jerk" every once in a while, especially with your setup. I wouldn't worry about it unless it was happening with every other frame.
 
occasional jerks are normal

just wanna point out that ram timings and 1 or 2T timings would NOT contribute to the jerks at all. Ram bandwidth doesn't add much to overall fps as proven by others. The gaming performance difference between 180ddr and 250ddr is minimal at best.

however, if you put the texture to high with only 1 gig of ram, jerks happen much more often
i had that problem when i had only 1 gig of ram, but after adding another 1 gig, the jerks are all gone!

or another solution is to tune down the texture to medium
 
I have 2GB RAM.

Also, why are jerks normal with a system like mine?

The thing is the first time I started the game there were just occasional jerks. After closing it and starting it on after some there there is big tim stuttering like while opening doors, or entering another room, or even moderately crowded areas.
 
Just checked, CAS was 3 and not 2.5, so that couldn't have been the problem.

I would like to tell you one thing, that suddenly one day my GPU or system started getting a drilling sound and since then my games are running better, they aren't running as they should for a 1900xtx, but they are running better than before. The sound still comes now.
 
The game stops/stutters for 2-3seconds everytime I open a door. This wasn't happening when I first installed the game, and I just installed it today, about less than 8hrs back.
