Use a RAM drive to reduce stuttering

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.

I have done it and well I dont think it's going better, on the other hand in Saints Row : The Third FPS were less

Well i've created a ram disk 2 gb and put the files in it that Gratos suggested.
It was just to play around a bit as I dint experience stutters or hangups.
The only increase I got was when taking off or landing when looking behined me at the dust or on a single mission with an airstart I used to have a few akward seconds before I had control of the aircraft.
That also is now gone and control is inmedeate.
Normaly I would get 11FPS while doing that now its going down only to 25 FPS.
While tinkering I found that my overall FPS doesnt go below 42 very low on the deck or with explosions and so on.
Another observationis that the vram used never seem to exeed 1005 MB and mostly hovers around 995 MB.
So it seems a 1BG card is sufficient.
For my in game settings see http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=29561
I think I keep the ram drive for now.

Or if you are experiencing any issues with COD. Stutter, Graphic issues, low FPS, CTD...

WAIT FOR THE NEW PATCH!!!!

MOST OR ALL YOUR ISSUES SHOULD BE RESOLVED THEN.

Well I was just fooling around with these things having some fun so to speak.
Waiting is an option ofcoarse, but what for people who can curently not play the sim at all and maybe could with these tweaks then I say why not?
The Patch could be this Friday or not, it could not be availeble for months.
And then it is easy to remedi these tweaks probably Steam would just replace the affected files.
So why the capital advice what is the risk? I'm curious.

Cheers,

Niels

Thank you NKS61 for taking the time to test and thanks for posting a measurable and reproducable result!

Just to put it otherwise, if your GPU has only 1Gb (1024Mb) then your VRAM will reach 99% of it (995-1005Mb) and afterwards the game will start offloading textures and loading new textures on the VRAM as needed.
This is the moment when you have half the fps you normally do. So, your 40fps turn to 20fps (it takes much longer to load textures to the VRAM of your GPU than having these textures already loaded on the extremely fast GDDR5 VRAM).

In addition to the above (halved fps), when you have the required textures on your "slow" hard disk then it takes even longer to load them (your seconds delay in the past) onto the VRAM of your GPU. HERE THE RAMDISK HELPED

So, putting everything back together, the moment you reach the 99% allocation of your VRAM, your fps will be badly hit. If you know this, you can control it by removing certain graphics options.
Extreme situations (like the terrible dust clouds) will always happen. By the way, you mentionned a "harmless" example; My problem is when a big bomber explodes in front of me and parts fly in the air...

The highest amount of VRAM utilisation posted by some users in the forum was 2,4Gb VRAM so I dare say that pre-bigPatch, only the 3Gb GTX580 and 2,5Gb GTX570 versions do not run risks of overfilling their available VRAM.

Hi,

I've made a registration of FPS, CPU, GPU, during Blacktrack,
The onscreen experience is smooth seems to be impossible to record the fullscreen replay.

When I attempt that I seem to be recording my desktop wallpaper only.
This is with a clock speed of around 3200 to 45OO wich was not recorded on screen.
Any thoughts welcome.

max limit is 1024mb with this Ram Disk program, so it will not work putting a few files in goes way over the limit,, a long time ago I got a free program 'VirtaulDrive Pro' v7. (latest is V.14) with a motherboard, or video card , or something, and I went to install it, but apparently, it's too old now, and can't use it..

so much for trying this stuff out... it always seems ot hit a snag,,, everytime some supposedly utility to make things better comes around..

I am not saying it didn't work for you, but 1024 mb, is just not even close to the size needed..


thanx anyways,, good try,, we need al the help we can get, those of us that can't spend a few thousand dollars to get better fps in CLOD..
