Because this is a known issue with NF2 & 3 & 4 boards. It happens on HL2, BF2 and quite a few other games. I experienced this with my NF4 and x850 pro in HL2, it stutters or stops for a split second then continues. I tried it with my VIA mobo and it works fine.

Depends on the game and motherboard and sometimes your video card. This is not a sound stutter loop which you all seem to be thinking, and it is not HD thrashing.

1 gig + BF2 at high settings = hitching.

Not worth discussing further then that.

No it really isn't a known issue. Additionally, i cant believe you guys are responding to a person who continues to talk down to everyone who is trying to help him.

What do you mean it is not a know issue? Yes it is! you never heard of the infamous NF2 & NF3 chipset problems? If not you are in no position to speak. It is caused by textures going to the AGP & PCIE. Also it is called Hard Drive Thrashing you noobs when textures are going to your hard drive.

get over it dude. im not worried about the semantics involved in meeting the dictionary perfect definition of a low level format vs. the common slang usage of same.

This is in the same light as your poor description of slow downs in the form of "hitching". If you don't use the terms correctly you cannot accurately express your issues.

It's obvious you aren't interested in anything, anyone has to say. So I'll step out of the troll den... :laugh:

The only such "hitching" I have heard of is with 6800 cards and NF3 boards. For the record, I haven't ever experienced such a thing.

There are also problems with NF2 and NF3 motherboards with "punkbuster enabled" that have been fixed now but are starting to creap up again with NF4 boards.

EXACTLY. Now WHY is this caused...lack of texture memory on the video card, which forces the textures to be offloaded to either:

A. The part of the RAM allocated for graphics textures; also known as the AGP Aperture
B. To the HDD

This has nothing to do with the chipset you are using.

I am running an Nforce 2 board right now and have never had such a problem. This is not an infamous problem by ANY means...hell it isn't even a problem.

Punkbuster is a software application that prevent cheating. It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with hardware.

nVidia GPUs can experience stuttering when paired with nForce chipsets. This a known problem.

More specifically 6800 series(6800,6800GT,6800Ultra) with NF3 chipsets and the 70 series drivers. The 60 and 80 series drivers for me have cleared this issue up.

And the problem was more than hitching but a complete stoppage for 3-10 seconds and then the computer resumed play. Very nasty little problem I may add.

I had that problem with my 6800 GT + NF3 mobos when I OCed it to Ultra speeds AND had fast writes on. If I disabled fast writes I didn't have this problem at all even with Ultra OC speeds.

Yes it does, talk to Punkbuster and email them about it if you do not believe me. There where many users effected by it. Also why did punkbuster create a fix for the issue if it did not effect anything? I swear this forum is full of bullshit

No it would appear that you are full of crap. You are wrong on all accounts.

When you install a game with multi-player capabilities, it prompts you to install punkbuster software which somehow filters the people who go into that server (ie: No cheats, hacks).

It has absolutely nothing to do with hardware. It is a program designed for that one purpose. As for the patch, you do know that there are bugs in programs right?

Patch details were for NF3 & ATI Video Cards Stuttering with PB enabled, go read the damn site idiot.

Yes, in other words the drivers for the ATI and Nvidia components were not communicating well with the punkbuster software. TO make it even more plain, A BUG.

You know i think BF1942 was hitching some time ago, they released a patch for it because it happened on certain hardware. Does that mean BF1942 is a chip on the motherboard...hell no.

Punkbuster is not a hardware feature. It doesn't run in hardware, it isn't included on a motherboard, it could care less whether you have a Gigabit ethernet or a 56K modem.

-Kevin

Edit: What is with the endless flaming. Do you feel like you have to insult me in everypost you make. Just to clue ya in, i have refuted every statement you have made thus far. Keep it up though :roll:

Both you and the OP are brand new users to the board... I wouldn't doubt you are the same people or are friends. Since, you are defending him and spreading FUD just like he is... I smell a troll with multiple accounts... I could be wrong, who knows, but that is what I think.

btw, you talk a lot for a guy who matches a P4 up with a 7800gtx

I'm getting a bit miffed while trying to actually go through everyone's posts, but when you were on your 9800pro I would guess that you were running at low textures/resolutions on BF2. That's all fine and dandy but once you go to higher settings and resolution 2 gigs of ram is a NECESSITY. I've seen rants over this millions of times. At higher levels of play hitching occurs a few times every minute and it will annoy the hell out of you unless you get 2 gigs of ram. Now I don't know if this actually solves anything, but I seem to only see BF2 mentioned and BF2 + 2Gigs of Ram = Smooth Gameplay.

i get a stalling in bf2 for a second or two at most once a day and i have a gig of ram, it might even be the server, i did notice it did it more often when i ran p2p in the background
