Great Frame Rate then... stutter.

Archived Post

I'm wondering if I have a hardware issue or what--

I'll be running along just fine 30-40 FPS, then all of a sudden, the game will start stuttering, dropping frame rate to 3 FPS. After a variable amount of time, usually 15-45 seconds, the game will go back to "normal". Then I'll be playing along fine and a few minutes later back to the same stutter. The problem appeared last night and I hadn't seen this issue for the two weeks or so of open beta and head start.

Any hints, tips, tricks, solutions, ideas appreciated.

At the recommendation of another thread, I had turned off threaded optimization in my graphics control panel (nVidia), after turning that back on, it seems the problem has gone away.
