Jumpy Graphics

No.

This is normal and the reason a 'pro' gamer will either buy a rediculous set up to raise his minimum fps, or lower settings to raise the minimum.

The only way to help this is to reduce how much you notice the slow downs.. that is to raise the minimum FPS, either upgrade or lower graphics settings.

What is your current set up?

Do you have v-sync on? If so do you have triple buffering enabled?

tirple buffering is enabled on the gpu driver side, not in game. If you are using an ATI card then go to the Catalyst Control Center > Advanced View > 3D > All Settings and down at the very bottom there is an option to enable triple buffering. If you are using v-sync then having this enabled is a must!

If you are using a nVidia card i don't know where the setting is located right off hand, but im sure a google search would reveal it easily enough.

Make sure this is enabled and then try playing again and see if it helps. Alternatly you could just disable v-sync and see if that helps the stuttering problem (but then you may have to deal with some screen tearing, personally i don't mind it that much and would rather have the extra frames, but to each their own)

Did that solve your problem?

glad to hear it
