Good thread..........thanks guys.

I also tried this, and it locked it in at 30 fps and there was no pausing or jumping except with effects like smoke and fire with I think are still not optimized correctly.

sorry guys, but I am no expert and I don't understand what's the advantage of an FPS limiter.

No need to FPS limiter anymore. The stutters now aren't so related with graphics. With particles system problems solved, the sim will run great!

I would like to agree with that but my fps were jumping wildly with huge differentials and the overall effect was more 'stutters'.

Once again, as with all ideas for improved play, they won't always suit everyone but worth trying if you think it may help - it worked for me and just wanted to say thanks for the thread and info in it.

A blanket "no need for' may not be apropriate for every one.

The theory is that if you lessen the range that your FPS can jump you will have smoother game play, example I can range from 0 to 120 FPS at times in game, now if I limit to 30 FPS I would see less pausing or stuttering if some event happens to cause a jump in FPS.

aaah I see, stabilising the FPS would somehow increase performance, I suppose it makes sense, interesting!

You can argue whether its a really fix or it just fools your eye because the eye cant detect the smaller jumps, in my head it seems to help Try it out...

It's funny because Fraps will also limit frame rate when you are recording a movie.

I was playing around with it this morning and it seemed smoother when I was recording and the FPS was limited to 30.

I'll try the adaptive half frame rate thingie in NVIDIA settings

And of course that is why Fraps gives you the option to clamp the FPS, it provides smoother playback than if your FPS are jumping all willy nilly

defo will give it a shot. I'm more and more tempted into re-installing CoD and see how it behaves with the new patch.
