Stuttering still over 3 years! Any help?

[SPUDLEY1977]

Glad you are on the mend. Although I have had SLI capable boards for the last 5 years, the concept never really made sence to me (either FPS/playability or $$) and most of my reading analysis led me to that conclusion.

Your Fatality actually has its own sound processor. Many add on sound cards do not. My current sys once used the onboard Realtek AL889 sound and the game ran fine for me. I eventually disables it and installed a Creative X-FI Extreme gamer. Game sound is not significantly but all other audio...tunes, DVD, surround, etc is way better with this add in card. A worthy expenditure for another $85 US.

1. Do you perform Disk Cleanup and multiple Defrags on a regular basis

2. Have you observed your hard drive light during the stutters?

3. Have you set a fixed swapfile to say 3500?

4. Have you ever defragged your swapfile itself?

Never tried out the new 26x series of cards yet.
