60 FPS but still choppy gameplay

by **xFCSx** on Sun Oct 04, 2015 11:13 pm

I ran 2k15 smoothly on med-high settings but on 2k16 even though i get 60 fps the game stutters and it just feels slow. i tried playing on the lowest possible settings and even then it was unplayable. in 2k15 in the beginning i had the same problem but i fixed it by switching to fullscreen windowed but that didnt work now. the game runs pretty smooth in the high school and college games but all the nba games i tried whether its mycareer mygm or quick game were laggy as hell. what can i do?

Other gamers have the same problem (including me). There is also a lot of similair reports on the steam community page. As far as I know, there is no solution. It doesn't depend on the hardware - both high-end/low-end computers still got that 'slow motion' movement of players. One of the NLSC users who works in 2K said that they're trying to fix it. At the moment we haven't got any information about patch and the release date.

Share your PC's configuration with us. Maybe someone here has a similar system and can offer some settings changes that work.

List your CPU, GPU, OS version, RAM, and screen resolution for starters. Your graphics driver version may also play a part...

I have hd 7770 ghz oc edition, fx 6100 3.3 ghz and 4gb of ram. i use windows 10 with 1440x900 resolution. i tried both 15.7.1 driver and the latest beta driver but there was no difference in performance

If you haven't already done so, I would suggest that you go through the VideoSettingsHelp.txt And VideoSettings.cfg files. Read what each setting does and which option is best for your setup or try different settings.

Some other things you can try:
Turn off V-Sync.
Try a lower resolution.
Try windowed mode.
Maybe disable any antivirus that may be running.
Close all other programs running.
Try to run the game outside of Steam.
Make sure all of your other drivers are updated.
Run DXDiag to make sure there are no problems.
Reboot your PC(Some people go months without restarting their PC)

Good Luck

Try lowering Crowd details.

1440 x 900 is an odd resolution. What's the monitor's native resolution?

As far as settings go, I suggest starting at the bottom by setting everything to low and off to see how it performs then. If there's still stuttering with everything on low or disabled, then there's a core underlying issue. It could be an OS, a driver, or a hardware issue, but troubleshooting that from afar is damn near impossible. But if it runs smoothly, you can then start increasing detail levels and enabling graphics features until you find what individual setting causes a problem.

More like turning the crowd completely off. I did that, and the game ran noticeably faster. It doesn't look graphically pleasing seeing no crowds in the stands, but until they fix it, it is what it is.

I tried playing on lowest possible settings (including crowd - off) and it was better but it was still stuttering. I only played like 3 total games this past year so i cant say my pc can run everything but i did play gta 5 on medium and nba 2k15 on med-high settings with no lag at all. Im thinking of upgrading my ram to 8 gb but im not sure if it'll do anything

Well 2k16 has the exact same requirements as 2k15, so you should be able to play it just as well. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before that's a reality.

You'd be better off replacing the 7770 1GB card than you would increasing RAM. DDR3 RAM is cheap presently, though, and keeps getting cheaper every month. A single DDR3-1600 DIMM (if that's what you have presently) is only $20-25. 8GB kits (2x4GB DIMMs) have begun dropping under $40 on sale, and are $45-ish regularly. (I suggest using pcpartpicker.com to find part prices.)

Still, it's the card that's hindering your performance.

I paid $150 for a 16GB (2x8GB) kit of Crucial Elite DDR3-1866 last Christmas. A month ago, the same kit was under $100. I almost pulled the trigger and went to 32GB, but I haven't upgraded my gaming rig to Win10 yet so I'm still stuck at the 16GB limit of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It sure would be nice to have a 20-24GB RAM drive, though...

Hehehe. What's that you say? Your SSD peaks at 550MB/s sequential read? My RAM drive peaks at OVER 9000!

i did the same thing. when you're playing, you don't really notice, but in the back of your mind something's definitely missing lol. i'll go nuts if they can't fix this.

Except when you lose power, the contents of the RAM drive is gone.

16GB is more than enough for any power user/gamer. I can imagine using 32 GB when I run desktop, CI, gitlab and some other stuff on single server where I also build projects.

Unfortunately, I can't afford anything but RAM right now. I tested how much ram the game uses and when im in the meny it uses around 60% and when im playing a game 77% which is about 3 out of 4 gb. is that normal or is it too much?
