Someone else was complaining about low FPS on Alice Madness Returns (10 FPS) on a GTX 460 and an Athalon 2 640. Maybe this game just tortures systems very harshly.

What FPS are you getting on that game exactly?

Also, what exactly is that 5700 series card? Is it a 5750?

Also, make sure you have defragged recently, and run check disk (error checking) and that you set it to do it during the next restart and then restart. The page file can get hugely fragmented and regular defrag can't touch it because it is in use 24/7 by windows.

Check disk can fix it because it happens before windows loads.

Also, Windows 7 works best with 2 x 4 GBs, just sayin.

Are both sticks of ram showing up when you go into cpuz or task manager? If one of your sticks died you could be having low memory stuttering. Otherwise if both sticks are present then I'd look at your vram on your card. Can you give the exact type you have? I'd lower your resolution and see if the stuttering goes away otherwise you might have to get a new card.

what psu are you using? how many amps does your psu have on it's +12v rail?
it could be the game as well. check the game publishers support forums and look for people with problems similar to yours. also check tom's video games section.
if you play games at full 1080p res with all gfx settings to highest, the 5770 might stutter. it's gpu isnt that powerful.

Your processor, motherboard, and RAM are all way better than the other guy's stuff.

Maybe the game is hugely CPU dependent or something.

If it was all video card I would think his 460 would get more than 10 FPS is your 5770 can get into the 50+ range.

Anyway, let me know how the checkdisk thing works out.
