#Dirt 4 stuttering windows 7

Gfx-options aside: make sure that usb-devices with high-polling rates (gaming-mice, gaming-keyboards, game-controllers and other high-bandwidth-devices like printers, scanners (.), audio-interfaces) do not populate a single, shared channel (or controller for that matter).Īlso I disabled BIOS-detection of usb3-devices (on X99), seems to have smoothed out some stuff, mostly related to Windows 7 being as old as f_k, not shipping with the appropriate usb-drivers out of the box and not being able to properly handle the XHCI-hand-off at boot-time.If your monitor's screen is often flashing or stuttering, there are a few different problems that you could be facing. Now these thoughts are not including the problem of 'micro-stutter', that's a whole different issue. I am sure there is an equivalent function available in the green camp (nvidia), as well by now. It cannot be overstated how much of a difference a solid, high framerate makes in visually-dependent games like racing-sims. Just make sure you tune your gfx-options to allow your hardware to operate at a minimum of 60Hz (or otherwise your preferred refresh-rate) at all times. that frees up frame-time from the one less-tasking frame to the next more-tasking (in computational terms) frame and provides the potential of smoothing out frame-rendering that way. My radeon-card's driver-software allows to 'cap' refresh-rate outside of vsync. V Sync = On,60 FPS, then drops to 40 randomly.

#Dirt 4 stuttering Patch

Opprinnelig skrevet av sgtcarneiro:This issue was fixed with last patch Tried today, same issue here (after the upgrade). Which sucks, since I don't really have any budget left for more hardware after finally upgrading the GPU, but oh well. So it looks like I finally have to plan on upgrading my trusty old wheel to something more current.

#Dirt 4 stuttering drivers

Not sure why that happens (though the drivers for my wheel are probably pretty basic at this point). I've seen quite a few people mentioning not being able to resolve stuttering, so maybe that's something to try. You can kinda make it less noticeable by tweaking graphics settings, but you can't really make it go away completely, it always shows up when you least want it to. Looks like some FF wheels (probably mostly old ones like mine) might actually cause the game to stutter and the framerate to drop intermittently. Disconnect the wheel and play using keyboard or gamepad - better performance overall and no framerate drops at all, solid 60 all the way, just like you'd expect with GTX 970.ġ920x1200, Ultra preset, wheel plugged in: 41.6 fps min, 91.5 fps avg, 102 fps maxġ920x1200, Ultra preset, wheel not plugged in: 88.9 fps min, 104.9 fps avg, 143.6 fps max It even happens in benchmark mode for some reason. Interestingly enough, you can disable FFB in-game entirely and it still happens. Turns out that if I connect my good old MS Sidewinder FFB wheel and the game detects it, the game performs worse, and when there is a lot of force feedback 'events' happening at once, the framerate drops to 42 fps (for some reason). In the end, after spending a few hours diagnosing the issue, I've finally found the culprit (pretty much by accident). However, this didn't really make much sense to me - nothing suggested the GPU (nor CPU) was in any way bottlenecking or out of power. The setting that helped the most was to set particles to off (that way I only did get a few stutters on Pikes Peak instead of it being almost unplayable), but some other settings also help a bit, like setting trees to low or lowering reflections. I've tried messing with the graphics settings and some of them kinda made the drops less frequent. Either 60 fps or 42 fps, pretty much nothing inbetween. One interesting thing I noticed was that the framerate always dropped to the same value - to exactly 42 fps. On the middle gravel part of the mixed version of PIkes Peak, the framerate jumped back and forth so much it was borderline unplayable. The game would run solid 60 fps most of the time, but with frequent drops to something like 40 fps, and sooner or later get back to 60 fps. Much to my surprise, after finally getting GTX 970 and running the game with Ultra preset, I've actually experienced even worse stutters and frame drops than before.

They were also worse in dashboard view and less frequent in bonnet view, which is why I've assumed my aging GTX 560 is just not powerful enough and upgrading it (which I was planning to do anyway for quite a long time) will solve it.

So.pretty much from the very beginning, I've been experiencing occasional stutters and framerate drops in the game.
