'Micro-stuttering' in BBC2...

[looper]

I read somewhere that running my MB at 'default' cpu speed, rather than my current OC to 3.6ghz, will for some reason help BBC2 to run more smoothly without stuttering...

True?

I'll go with false. You're gonna need all the cycles you can get out of that E8400 to keep up with that video card.

If you are having micro stuttering issues, look in to these tweaks first:

Network Throttling:

Renderahead limit:

I think 2 is the default, try 0, or even 1.

I've ran with both stock and OC'd i7 and I play butter smooth with both.

Gully...

Thx for the links. I'll try it. Darn game is nearly unplayable... yet, was not like that before the patches... go figure...

Well, if it just started after the patch, you might want to also try renaming the BFBC2 folder under My Documents and then run the game. It will rebuild the files when it runs. You will have to re-do all your settings, and lose single-player saves and server history.

If it doesn't help, you can restore the original folder.

I did this... seems to help...

The network throttling...

And may now do the 'renderahead' adjusting...

i've got an e6600 with 280 as my slower pc and it runs this without any problems.

10.7 has caused problems for some users. Try 10.5

I have an E8400 at 3.8 and a 1gb 4870, which I'm pretty sure is weaker than your graphics card. I run everything at medium 1920x1200 and don't really stutter.

I read somewhere that running my MB at 'default' cpu speed, rather than my current OC to 3.6ghz, will for some reason help BBC2 to run more smoothly without stuttering...

I'm using the 10.4 drivers...
