How many OC their CPU's and run 'Battlefield:Bad Company 2' w/ no problems?
Way back, when many of us first got BBC2, my E8400 Intel 3.0ghz CPU was OC'd to 3.6ghz. As I began playing BC2, I was getting annihilated without realizing it was for 3 reasons, and not 2.
First, obviously I'm older now & slower, and second, BC2 is a hard game to get used to playing. But, besides those 2 reasons, it turns out that for some people BC2 does NOT like OC'd CPU's. Something called
'micro-stuttering' takes place. It's very much like the typical lag that we all experience occasionally. Because of that happening to me, I actually stopped playing BC2 for the first 6 weeks that we had the game.
I then started researching this issue on the web. Turns out it's quite a common situation. So, I changed my computer setup (went back to 'stock' speed on the CPU)... as soon as I did that, the game ran GREAT...
I'm hoping BC2 will not do the same thing to me when I OC this new rig I'm now building...
Thoughts?
