Lobi is right that it is the texture streaming that causes stutters - but I think it's a case of poor CPU utilisation. During those stutters (and at game load), hard faults go through the roof as textures are loaded into the memory from the HD - some of the texture files are enormous and not very well optimised. If load were distributed more evenly between cores (instead of 100/30/30/30) we might see an improvement in stuttering.
For the love of god don't run it on Medium textures unless you have no other choice, it looks terrible  |
and how do you kick it performance wise?? im unable to goover a stable 20 fps, and i have stutters all the time. My issues are indeed with the textures: each notch lower gives me around 5 fps, and shadows.... the problem is no shadows maeks the game look too ugly
