<p>Hello there,</p><p> Right now i have a geforce 8800 gtx with the latest drivers. But i have some stuttering issues with the card. I play in very high settings. ( shadows off ). My frame rate is between 30- 70 fps.</p><p> Now i heard that the ATI cards dont have the stuttering issues and als get more fps and plays smoother. Some peeps got the same problem as me?</p><p> Anybody got some advice for me, shall i buy a new ATI card like the 3840 or not?</p><p>My system config is:</p><p>cpu:e6600 overclocked too 3.0 ghz</p><p>mem: 4 gigs of corsair xms memory</p><p>gpu: geforce 8800 gtx</p><p>soundcard: X-fi extreme gamer</p>

<p>I don't know if you have already, but you will want to enable 'reuse vertex buffers' in the performance options for the game.  That option was added specifically for that card, I believe, and should drastically reduce the stuttering.</p><p>If you're simply looking for video card advice, I still prefer Nvidia for EQ2.  I've now run the game on 2 systems with ATI cards(9800pro/x800) and 2 systems with Nvidia cards(6800ultra/8800gt).  Generally I've seen better performance when using the Nvidia cards.</p>
