Anyone get studdering effect in games? Is it because of the game engine? Video card? Or need more ram?

Recent games I have studdering effect includes:

FEAR and Titan Quest...

Running on

Pentium D @ 3.66
1 gig ram
x850xt
 
FEAR, OBLIVION, HL2 occasionally (mainly due to all the Hard drive accessing)...and a few others but usually it will just stutter for a short amount of time, then be alright for awhile.
 
Do you think those games need more ram? I get studders in titan quest all the time... Especially when I'm battling...

Fear is the same way it just studders...
 
Haven't had a game that studders in a while that's caused by ram issues. 2GB seems to the sweet spot for now.

Half Life 2 is legendary for its stuttering problems.

Yep, my system knocks HL2 socks off but cause of the slow HDD access it still stutters, maybe a 4gb iram would take care of that? ;)
 
Hmm, never had any problems with HL2 running at 1280x1024 with everything on high. Fear never really studdered on high quality, but the lighting effects caused it to not feel as 'smooth'.

The only games that studdered for me were the last 2 Need For Speed ghetto series. No big loss there, I kind of think they sucked anyways. I think the engine in those games was the cause, perhaps changing maps? Whatever, killed whatever fun factor the games might've had for me; just drove me nuts!

I'm running an 'older' P4 3.2 with 1G ram, 2 x 120G sata and ATI x850 pci.
 
It seems like it's a ram problem in FEAR... It was swapping my hard drive... But once the game settled in... It was much smoother...

But in Titan quest... I'm not too sure... It's not even swappping... At least it doesn't appear to be... The graphics are jittery... Like it jerks around... Who knows maybe I need more ram...

This CCC drivers are eating up my resources+ Microsoft net frame needed to install CCC.
 
For TQ you will get frame hits every once in a while. I am still not sure what causes that, but it happens.

If the CCC is eating up those resources and you want to recover them, go and download some optimized drivers like Omega or NGO drivers. Gets rid of that CCC and uses ATI tray tools. Get the Omega drivers at www.omegadrivers.net.
 
i have yet to see a pc that can play need for speed most wanted without any form of studdering at any res or setting, what a bullshit game engine.
 
I recently reinstalled CnC:Zero Hour and after about 10 minutes it starts stuttering so badly that I can't play.
