Apologies if this has already been done to death.

I am getting stuttering when playing UT - frames are high (as you might expect). I note that there are a number of other issues related to 8800 cards as detailed in this thread:

I would really appreciate any input from fellow [H]'ers. I recognize that it might simply be a case of waiting for new drivers :)

I am running

D975XBX2
CD2 E6600
8800GTX
2GB 6400C4
CM 850W
X-Fi Extreme Gamer

Everything stock (for now). Need to update sig :)

EDIT: have applied MS dual core patch.
 
Have you tried alt tabbing out and setting the game to run on one core only, even though you applied the dual core patch, it may still be causing the issue.

Strangely enough, Quake3 for me would do the same thing, high frame rate but every couple seconds it would "freeze" for just a split second, enough to toss your aim off or make you miss a jump....


My bet is that your game is having an issue with the dual core.
 
Thank for the reply Bro, sorry for not coming back sooner - have had to fit in a reload around other commitments :)

I'll give that a go - thanks for the tip :)
 
I have the same issue with my 8800GTS and UT2004. Doesn't matter which driver either. It's been a confirmed bug and mentioned in the 8800 game issue thread at Nvnews.net.

Had exactly the same problem years ago with UT03. Turned out to be AA causing it. Might be worth a try.

Well in my case with Q3A, once I start the game, I just ctrl+alt+del out of the game, set the affinity to a single cou using task manager, and pop back in.....with or without AA makes no difference :confused:
 
Thanks for the feedback chaps - looks like we wait for big Green to release some more drivers. :)
