Occasional frame skipping in Deus Ex : Human Revolution

[Acrylik]

I have about a month ago gotten a new PC, and have had no real problem with any games in turns of framerate, except for this one.

I play it on max setting, and my specs are:

EVGA GeForce GTX 560ti
Intel i5 2400
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB)
Corsair GS700 PSU

If there is any more information you need, let me know

Is the game patched?

Which drivers are you using?

 

[Acrylik]

Yeah, I have all of the latest stuff patched, and all of my drivers are fully updated :s

Try rolling back to a previous driver.

Frame skips in deus ex (comes out looking like microstutters even though you're on a single card) are unavoidable on certain hardware. I have the exact same problem and the only method that I found to alleviate it to where it is absent from the game 90% of the time, was to turn up the pre-rendered frames in nvcp from default 3, to 5. This did more to smooth the game than anything else, but also some of the stutters seemed to be related to a poor implementation of DOF, which you can disable or set to a lower value in the in-game options.

Even when I do all of that, I still get the same amount of stutters and stuff :\


It usually just happens when I turn corners in the game , if that's any help.

Including rolling back the driver?

This was an issue with nvidia cards from the 560ti to the 580. Never did find a driver that had any impact on it unfortunately.

Yeah, I had heard of the stuttering problem with NVIDIA cards on this game.
Just trying to see if does make at least a little effect.

Few things have ever actually pissed me off regarding gaming more than watching a perfectly good Deus Ex game literally be crippled by something as dumb as an inexplicable microstutter.

I did try playing Deus Ex: HR, but it was on my older video card (8400GS, yeah, not the type to game with...)
Although the graphics looked really outdated, the microstutter was just too much..
I have yet to start playing the game.

I did force myself through the game and that's my main problem. It was actually good. fffffffffffff god dammit eidos.

Which game engine were they using anyways?

They were using some in-house modified version of the Crystal Engine apparently.
