Cod4 studdering?

i have tried soo many different drivers its not even funny. have any of y'all had this problem? specs are in the sig

 

i us 1.86 driver i run COD every ting on max on 1920x1200 in MP and no studdering

 

its weird i'll have a smooth frame rates then it drops out of the blue to 2-5 then back up!

 

problem fixed with 186.24

 

it came back could be a quad processor problem? i have tried just the 280's and the hybird sli too and it still stuttered any suggestions?

 

i figured it out you have to enable vsync and it will stop the stuttering. and sorry for posting back to back.

 

Did you enable vsync in the game or in the nvidia control panel? I got the same issue in COD4 and I thought it was a quad core problem...Would you please play COD4 with vsync enabled for a longer time, maybe a couple of hours to check if the stuttering will come back again? Thanks!

 

if you get to high FPS you can get stuttering in COD4 i got vsync ON in every old game i got vsync ON and in many new game who FPS is not higher then 60 FPS i got vsync OFF

 

thank you for the advice. i will give it a try.

 

i enabled it in the game yea i have been playing for a while and no studding!

 

every now and then i get the micro stuttering, i think it is punkbuster doing something in the background. in single player tho i get no stuttering and before i did so for me it is fixed!

 

the issue came back. for some reason when i turn off vsync and sli it will sometimes drop to 1-3 fps. I've tried so many driver its ridiculous. dose any one might know what to problem could be? my specs are in the sig. ,i mean i get 100 - 200 fps then it drops then it picks back up again. thank you.

 

Hi Dslade,
The micro stuttering will always be present. If you lower your resolution, you'll notice it less. You may want to try enabling triple buffering in your control panel. Also, there is an SLI option in COD4. However, I've noticed that the game runs better with it off.

Thanks,
Gabe

 

it will always drop to 1 fps then back to 150?

 

Try disabling the integrated GPU in your bios . Under the graphics options in the bios set it to disabled/disabled and see if that helps. This will make only your discrete graphics cards run.

 

i already did. i always have that off unless i am on battery. is any one else having this problem with call of duty?

 

The drop in framerate doesn't seem normal. However, I hardly monitor my framerates.

Other people have reported this with COD4 i believe . What sets of drivers have you tried btw ? just dell stuff or ones like 190.38 ?. Also are you overclocking your CPU at all ?.

 

186.24 are my drivers. they are the dell modded one's on this forum some where. i am not over clocking at all. i have not even over clocked at all

 

i have not used the 190.xx i could not get them to work with the 9400m. i understand a micro second pause, but this is a massive drop to 1 and it goes back up to 120 fps. its like a side show for 2 seconds then its all smooth again. but whats weird is i turn off sli and it stops the massive drop in fps. that is something i do not understand

 

Try using a different SLI rendering technique.

You can change this in the nvidia control panel.

 

So you downloaded the 190.38s from Laptopvideo2go.com and downloaded the modded inf next to it , dumped the inf in the extracted folder of the drivers overwriting the stock one and proceeded with the install ?.

 

noooo never, driver sweeper then ccleaner, then installed them. i have already played with the sli rendering and it did not help it still came back

 

It's obviously a software issue if the stuttering goes away with sli disabled.

Sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully a newer or more optimized driver will come along and fix some of these issues (sleep, etc).

 

another thing that i notice was when it happens the sound of the videos cards stops when it drops to 1 fps like the cards just stop responding then they pick back up again. i know when the cards are in sli because it makes this clicking sound when it happens its all quite but the gpu's fans

 

Has anyone tried the EVGA SLI patch that is supposed to help or enhance SLI in certain games? I think COD was one of the games supported. Just wondering if someone has tried this and if it has really worked?

EVGA SLI enhancement patch


Edit: Ok, now I cannot find any information on COD 4. Thats odd. I wonder if it was for COD 4 or COD WAW?

 

yep i got a good fps increase, but it did not fix my problem

 

Try to run COD4 with core 2&3. I still believe it is a quad core problem...

 

i think i got it. it was the AA in the game. i turned it off and i have not ran into it yet

 

Cod 4 has stuttering issues on alot of laptops it's the game.... Google it

 

ahh i can see that, well for the most part all the stuttering went away and it only happened one time which is a lot better then 4 times. thanks for you guy's help

 

My laptop stutters
my m17 did ....


I thing it has to do with the VRAM overflow ing I think I'm wrong though
