Before 1.3 patch, I had stuttering, afterwards, smooth as silk, not a hint of stuttering.
So I guess they got something right for me, but broke something for others..
I've got HD 6870 1Gb, 8Gb RAM, Q9550 3.4Ghz CPU, and 10,000rpm SATA HD's.
Running under Vista 64bit, but did require non-OS approved video drivers to work correctly..
Now interestingly I have a separate PCI network card, so perhaps that is why I don't get stutter now..
I wonder if the PCI bus is being flooded so to speak ? (He says, trying to sound technical..)
As such, I wonder if any BIOS tweaks might solve the problem ?
Yeah I know its software fixable ED side of things, but if they never fix it...
