Old Topic; Still Could Use Some Help

cdrsubron7 · 09-19-15, 07:11 PM

I've recently got back into playing SH4 and am having some problem with settings for my GPU. My GPU BTW is an XFX Radeon 7950 4GB. What I'm getting is a very bad stutter when playing SH4. It does not stop me from playing the game it is just annoying. I'm not looking for an AMD vs Nvidia discussion here just some help to get rid of the problem I'm having.

Have you tried turning all the graphics options off? If that fixes the problem, you could turn them up one by one until you find out which one is the culprit.

If you are running Win7 or Vista you can try Disabling the Aero theme and see if that helps.
Disable Aero
Win7
1.Choose Start > Control Panel > Personalization, or right-click desktop choose personalization.
2.Select any of the themes in the Basic And High Contrast Themes category.

Vista
1.Choose Start > Control Panel.
2.In the Appearance and Personalization section, click Customize Color.
3.Click Open Classic Appearance Properties For More Color Options.
4.Select a Color Scheme other than Windows Aero, and then click OK.

Enable Aero
Win7
1.Choose Start > Control Panel > Personalization, or right-click desktop choose personalization.
2.Select any of the themes in the Aero Themes category or in the My Themes category, if you saved a personalized Aero theme.

Vista
1.Choose Start > Control Panel.
2.In the Appearance and Personalization section, click Customize Color.
3.Choose Windows Aero from the Color Scheme menu, and then click OK.

Are you using the 'd3d9 Antilag' with the 4 Gb Patch?

You're probably aware of both however that is all I can think of....

Actually, I'm using Win 10. I apologize for not mentioning this. I'm also have 8 GBs of ram in my computer. Would I be able to use the 4 gig patch?
