Zephyr102 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 After my ol' BFG GeForce 8600GT bit the dust for unknown reasons, I made a minor upgrade. I've installed an MSI GeForce 9400 GT 512MB card (the best I can get without replacing my motherboard; trying to save cash) and it runs pretty well on most games I've tried so far- Crysis at medium, Half-Life 2 at maximum, Shaun White Snowboarding at full bore. It even seems to handle Oblivion quite well, as evidenced in a rather dense fight I got into as a test. But after a bit of gameplay, I notice a stutter. It's not so bad at first but it steadily gets worse, increasing in frequency til it just gets annoying. A brief pop turns into a series of jolts every second. I've updated the card's drivers and am running DirectX 9c on a Windows XP machine. Afterburner shows acceptable temperature levels, and I'm not gonna push the limit with the overclocking after what happened to the last card. I'm also using Streamline 3 and Oblivion Stutter Reducer, which worked wonders before the switch. Any suggestions on curing these hiccups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
