I recently purchased a x1900xt video card and I get some stuttering before entering a new room, before an event, when I trigger a new sound, etc with games like FEAR (which I will use as an example).
At first the stuttering was real bad so I purchased a Antec 550 watt PSU to replace some no name 430 watt PSU which greatly improved performance but the stuttering is still there just not as bad.
Shouldn't I be able to run FEAR with everything maxed including at least 4x AA and 4x anisotropic filtering? (stuttering seems to be the same whether AA and anisotropic is at 2x or up to 16x) I am running the game at 1280x720 so i'm thinking it could be the ram. Do i need 2 gigs of ram to get this thing to run properly at this high a resolution? I thought i would pretty much be able run most current games flawlessly with maxed settings. Any suggestions? thx )
PS: my mobo A8R-MVP is widely know to have some major stability problems but i don't have any signs of that. My system has been running for a few days and no problems.
System specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Sapphire x1900xt
1GB of OCZ Ram
Antec 550w PSU
ASUS A8R-MVP mobo
