How do i set up my 5770 to work properly

[ATAG_Dutch]

Yeah, Lobi's like that.

What baffles me is the overclocking of the card making no difference either, neither to frame rate nor render speed from what I can see, so maybe mine's stuck at a low level like yours, although I'm not sure where to look for this.
If you let me know I'll try the same method as you for comparison.

Calling Orpheus!

Edit, just seen your edit - of course! that's why I left my first post!!

In all honesty I think it might be your CPU causing the stuttering, not the GPU. Nearly all the 'no stutter' reports I've seen are from CPU's running at at least 4 gig (overclocked or not). Other than CPU, we're not dissimilar - 5770s, 3gig of RAM to my 4gig. Are you running crossfire, or just a single GPU - with crossfire I see terrible stutter no matter what I do.

More powerful GPU will certainly help - the newish GTX5xx series are very good for CloD from what I've read on the forums, but I'd think about a CPU upgrade too. I'm no expert though, at the end it's all trial and error really. Lower textures and no shadows will certainly help - but it's up to you how much graphical quality you want to sacrifice.

Also, try pseudo windowed mode, that might help. Vysnc & SSAO off, no grass/roads/etc and buildings/building detail low.

i cant sacrifice anything that will spare me out of the stutters.... if i throw away shadows buildings and textures i get regular FPS, but stuttering is still there...


thanks for the feedback.

Which quadcore are you using? There are so many out there ...

Is your graphics card installed in a PCI-E 1x slot maybe? The tool GPU-Z could tell you that.

I ran tests with my GTX 570 in the PCI-E 1x slot (better airflow and cable management in that slot) and the only game that suffered dramatically from it was CloD. Other games like Arma2 or DCS-A10C where not affected much, lost maybe 5 fps in there, but CloD became unplayable in medium settings.

This is why I won't upgrade my card yet. As the game still relies on one core so heavily, with turbo boost on the main core mine maxes at 3.5 or whatever. The blokes with 4+mhz processors are doing ok, but once the load is spread over other cores more evenly, us mid-range users might find a big improvement without shelling out lots of cash on hardware. So I'm going to wait awhile and see what happens.

Of course my knowledge of computers and how they work is hopeless, so I might be talking rubbish.

suttering is from the unoptimized code, faster CPU/GPU help but i will not go out and spend $500 or more just to overcame unoptimized code, let them fix the game first then maybe look into upgrades if you need them.

S!
