Hey all. Looked around and this isn't the stuttering problem, audio tends to be fine.
Problem is, my framerate is fine come the beginning of the map and sometimes throughout a whole section. But more often than not, when arriving at a new place, the framerate drops suddenly for no apparent reason. I don't have to be looking at anything too graphically intensive. hell, sometimes it happens when I look at the sea(drops to say like 5fps) but when I turn around and face a bunch of houses it's smooth(40+) again.
specs
P4 3.0Ghz HT
768 DDR RAM
5900FX
I've tried everything; detail settings, drivers, heapsize, cl_smooth(and all other shortcut/console stuff), dxlevel 8, 81, the ffdshow thing.
What fixes it, is, when it happens, I quicksave and quickload then the exact same spot is nice and smooth again. If anyone has any more ideas, keep posting them and I'll keep tryin' them.
I'm gonna try with low audio settings since I haven't tried playing with that stuff yet.
Oh, and if you find a post like this, please link me as I may have missed it.
thanks

all was going well(put sound to low qual.) and I thought things were fixed until about someway into killing the enemy here; then pic1, quicksave, quickload, pic2.:
