Re: Need for speed 2016 stuttering alot

@IMDASPEEDHUNTER

Hi,

Your GPU is actually a bit below the minimum specs required for this game. This means that while you can still run the game, I cannot guarantee smooth gameplay. That is sadly not something that I can troubleshoot further.

The only thing that I can recommend (thought you've tried this up to a certain extend) is to turn off all background programs and to turn your in-game graphical settings to low. You can try turning off your programs via a clean boot.

Note that I won't be able to comment on your friends computer. If he is experiencing issues then have him create a separate post so I can have a look at that as well.

    Thank you for your reply sir, 

    Yes i knew that you would mention about the specs but i already mentioned that in the post if my GPU was weak then i would not get 60fps solid even on 1080p sometimes on lowest settings on the first place, still the gameplay works fine solid 60fps, untill the stutters occur. 

    And yes i tried clean boot didn't work. 

    but thanks again for your reply, i will be upgrading my gpu in a week with a R9 270x or a Gtx 960 these both gpu's are great for this game, i will see how things will turn out, untill now I don't think its a hardware fault.

    Hi,

    Specific issues such as stuttering are hard for me to pinpoint from a forum so for that reason I would have to go by some of the specs that you posted.

    I actually run the game on a 270x at the moment myself and my system cannot handle higher graphical settings in-game. I would therefore definitely recommend to upgrade to something better like a 960, or, the AMD 470 and 480 are also out now--this will give you a huge performance upgrade for around the same price as a 960.

    Okay good news! I found a solution atleast its a permanent solution for me, it was the internet connection i guess, i dont know how it was a problem because my connection seemed fine, anyways here's the solution: 

    i selected the "Play Alone" option from the game privacy settings and game worked like damn charm! Super smooth! I am running it on 900p Ultra everything except shadows are low and with TAA also! In comparison with my 260X a slow gpu. the NFS's graphic optimization is really good and i gotta admit that i am enjoying the game and now i feel like it was worth it to buy the game, as the game is running pretty well on a fairly low end gpu, I get 45fps avg, 28fps lowest, 60fps highest!

    The main culprit for the stuttering was the internet i guess because playing alone minimizes the internet consumption.

    Game is working flawlessly! Thanks for helping! Cheers,

    P.S: You might wanna enter this solution in the main thread of bugs, also the falling through the map bug minimized alot! It only happened once in like 3 days, which is very fair.

    Glad to hear that you figured out the cause on your system! 

    I will also add your findings to our main troubleshooting sticky as I don't think that many players are aware how much of a performance impact online gameplay can have on a system.

    Have a nice weekend,
