Use a RAM drive to reduce stuttering

Anyway is the Ram Drive still an option to reduce stuttering after the last patch? I recently got a middle class GPU (Radeon 6870) which runs the game quite well. But allthough I'm barely under 30fps with mostly maximum settings I get the freakin' stutters.

I do not use it any more since summer I think. Just reduce settings if you still have stutters, e.g. texture quality and lighting-related are very important to get rid of stutters. Also reduce settings in the video driver. Check out the last link in my sig.

Anti-virus real-time file and network monitoring makes stutters too.

If you are stuck at 30 fps than probably you have vsync ON without triple buffering.

Thanks Ataros.

I checked out your thread. I turned down Textures to Medium and this helped. I believe I am currently at a flyable mp state.

I also tried this:
7. In video drivers put mip-map levels and texture quality to performance or high performance to save vram (especially 1gb card owners).

Very strange, in nVidia, going from Quality to Performance actually gave me fewer fps and higher stutter. I'll have to try High Performance. Just strange how things that by common sense should improve things, don't. And that they work on one system and not another.

"High" is actually lower than "Original". You can also try "High".

I have it on Quality instead of High Quality.

Also try emptying the cache folder in Documents/1C... after changing settings.

S!

Also try Core Parking, disabling it might help. Link to procedure HERE.

Thanks for the tip. Added it to my guide. Do you know how to reset it back if it does not help?

It looks like it is related to power saving options. I disabled all powersaving options in my PC via control panel. Is it enough to stop core parking?

S!

Jusr reverse the change on the 3 registry keys. I wrote down the original value, which was 64 for me, so can change if needed. I also had all power saving off yet that parking was enabled.
