Hello,

I've had some stuttering issue with the last Tomb Raider (2013) since i first started the game. It runs fine for a little while, say 5~10 mins, and then it begins to lag, to stutter. If i alt-tab to the desktop and go back to the game a few mins later, the lag is gone. But then, again, when i play for more than 5 mins, stuttering comes back.

I've tried everything i could think of: lower the graphic options, the resolution, try a mix of both, and i even forced the game in Direcxt 9 mode... I think i tweaked this game for about 2 hours or so, but no, the stuttering persists no matter what i do.

My rig is a lagtop: quad core Q720 1.6Ghz (2.4Gz in turbo, which i turn on when i play the game), ATI Radeon HD mobility 5870, 6gigs of ram, Windows 7 64.
Yes, i've updated the drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

/cheers!

Maybe your processor use is hitting peaks and valleys, and when it's low it's downclocking back to 1.6ghz. Could be insufficient VRAM. Could be a lot of things. Use a diagnostic tool to see what your clocks and temps are like when the stutters start.

Well, thanks for the answer, but it sounds like it's much more than i can handle.

It is likely that it overheating, download HWMonitor and see what temps it reaches.
