9700pro stuttering

[Shorty]

Time to get the ball rolling with a first techie thread ;)

Ive got a 9700pro with a strange problem (intermittently). Ive already tried the Icrontic crew.. so gonna try a few more peeps incase someone has a clue.

Install WinXP SP1. Install DX9. Install 3.2 catalysts. All works great.. apart from the odd game.

Splinter cell gets stutters and Freelancer stutters. Only two I have issues with.

Anyone experienced something similar? I have the same problem on my Win2K3 server install. I know its a server OS, but I have tweaked it up to be able to run D3D ;)

I had problems with Splinter Cell also (slow fps, crashing), but I run a Geforce 3 Ti500 and WinXP. But since I have been sort of weary on ATI since before the Radeons came out, I have yet to use an ATI card higher than a Rage 128 :-P

I think it would be best to try and find support at an official forum for the GFX card or the games.

I think it is just the games. For some reason, although it is unrelated, Spinter Cell is the only game to freeze my XBox as well, not sure why, but I know it is something to do with the game. :shock:

I took a hunt over to the Ubisoft forums. This is really common with Splinter Cell :?

Theres a patch for the PC version :) which semi fixes some of the glitchiness. I think this is just a bad Windows install though :evil:

maybe bad install, but i know its something to do with the game, i think they spent so much time on the graphics they forgot some lines of code :wink:
