NFS hot pursuit stutter with gtx460m even at high fps

Hi

Could anyone tell me why hot pursuit stutter with my GTX460m card even at high framrates?. According "fraps" the game run mostly at 60 frames(fraps wont go higher than 60). I notice then the game drops to 50 with much cars and wet asphalt it stutters. Dirt2 can run even at 20 fps without stutters, so i wounder is hot pursuit very bad coded to pc?.

Anyone who could help me here?

Thanks in advance

PS: i have not playd online so this is based on single player

 

You can what?

 

If the frame rate won't go over 60 it's probably because you have vsync on (which is good imo) It stutters, that means the frame rate drops? Or do you mean shadows of trees or similar appearing out of nowhere? (Because that's a known issue) The 460m should easily be capable of handling the game at highest settings. What laptop do you use? Maybe you have it accidentaly on a power saving mode which throttles the GPU.

 

Thats because your processor is throttliing, try using throttlestop:

good luck!

PD: What laptop do you have? Do you have a quad cored i7?

 

you mean PS?

 

dropping to 50 from 60 is HARDLY a stutter....

Unless you mean it drops to 50, and THEN drops down to 20 or 30 for half a second, or something like that.

I've played that game also, AFAIK it has internally forced Vsync, hence your fps stuck at 60. But yeah it's a 2010 game, so having it drop down to 50 fps at graphics-and/or-CPU-intensive scenes is hardly a surprise or bug.

 

OP are you referring to a framerate drop stutter or a millisecond pause where it appears the action on the screen momentarily hiccups? The later can be caused by numerous things. I have certain games that will produce this. There are certain things you can do to help and in some cases eliminate it.

 

Well, yes it is, but if it's bad enough to warrant complaining about it, there is something wrong.

 

No vsync enabled. Yes it means the fps drops then the screen is busy.

I use a Toshiba qosmio X500 with i7 740, and it handles games like crysis and FSX with very high setting in full HD

See above

No ofcourse not, but i have not seen this stutter with realtive high fps in other games.

Yes i do, but its abit longer than some millisecond, and no matter that i do.....turn down resolution and change setting in the game...it stutters for period with much detaljs.

Merry Christmas to all of you

 

Did you try throttlestop already? (As MexicanSnake suggested). It's really possible that it's a throttling issue, I heard about a couple of Toshiba models which are throttling the cpu.

 

A few things you could try. While in the games main menu bring up task manager and change the Set Priority of the process to "HIGH or Realtime".

In your Nvidia CP experiment by dropping the Pre-rendered frames from 3 to 0. If you only have one monitor select Single Display Performance Mode. Threaded Optimization from Auto to On.

See if any of this helps. I had issues with Colin McRae 3 and it helped immensely.

 

Many thanks guys, and much good tips in here....will try that
