Here's the deal. I'm about fed up with this bullshit. Maybe someone could explain to me WHY with my setup, a very recently formatted hdd and little to no applications and programs installed or running in the background I get times in HL2 that my frames go down into the 30s and 40s, even as low as 20s. I will tell you how I have the game setup. I have nothing overclocked. Vsync is off. Refresh rate of my monitor is 75hz, its an NEC FE770. The game settings are 1024x768, everything at default, except NO AA/AF... NONE, NOTHING. Now, there are times when the frames are very high, usually indoors though. My vid drivers are the 70.41. I also have that studdering problem. I don't know why my frames drop so low, it seems like an anomaly. Please help, please. Also, before I began playing the game, a week or so ago I reformatted my hdd and reinstalled windows, now to make sure I had all the files I took my entire valve folder and moved it to a different hdd and then moved it back after the installation was done. Does anyone think that could attribute to the problem? Thanks
