View Full Version : 5672 Stuttering in HL2/CSS

Hey all, I was wondering if some of the other 5672 owners here play Counter-Strike Source on their laptops, see I'm having a stuttering issue, which I am unsure of the source, the game runs wonderfully besides when it does this, even at all high settings, it runs very smooth. The stuttering, as I call it, occurs (usually) upon shooting or grenading debris, especially glass bottles, when the glass scatters it hangs for about 3-5 seconds, and then continues. It's really frustrating just because the game runs flawlessly otherwise, it only happens once every minute or two. I'm not sure as to whether this is a Game, Video, CPU (being only 1.6 GHz), or even an audio? problem. I haven't troubleshot this issue much, as I dont even really have time to play, but I wanted to see if anyone else was having this problem, and of course, if they solved it. I'm running the 2GB/120GB model and the Omega cat 6.3 drivers. Thanks a ton.

Nobody yet? Really?

Does anyone play it smoothly on their 5672?

Right now I'm playing Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow on my 5672. Little older title, but I have owned it for over a year and was yet to play it! ;)

I run hl2 and css on my 5672 unfortunately I cannot have HDR lighting enabled as it reduces performance too much
but high settings on everything gives a smooth performance
make sure your steam is completely up to date, as there are patches that have sorted out stuttering issues

good luck
