Is anybody else finding this game to be unoptimized on their system?

First off, my relevant specs...

- i7 930 @ 4.0 ghz
- 6GB DDR3 1600mhz ram
- Radeon HD5850 1gb VRAM Crossfire

I don't really have any troubles running any other games on 1920x1200 high settings w/o stutter, but this game for me is an absolute stutter-fest. So, as a result, I play with most settings at medium. Unfortunately, even at medium settings, I'll still get stuttering that hinders the playability of the game. Low FPS isn't even as much the problem - I get really high framerate (60+) most of the time, even with settings maxed. But further on as the matches progress, ill get occasional pauses of 1-2 seconds and by the time my computer has caught up - i'll be damaged or dead.

How is everyone else's experience running the game?

    I can't run it at 2560x1600 whatsoever, on dual overclocked GTX-560s with an i7 3770. Even at 1920x1200, I have to turn textures to medium... and even still on some maps it chugs into the 30s.

    Currently the game is a bit of a resource hog its not just you. Also the rubberbanding is kind of an issue. Regardless I don't have any frame dips unless I turn on Ambient Occlusion, that destroys my fps. Else I run it on all high with a

    in 1920x1080*
    IntelCorre I7 2630QM Quad Core
    Nvidia 570M
    8GB Ram

    It needs lots of ram.

    runs fine for me with a stock 2500k and single 5850, with shadows and atmospherics off. How does your game run with a single 5850? You're not using texture streaming, are you?

    Pretty much everyone who doesn't think 30+ fps is fine.

    You know you guys can browse through the first 2-3 pages on the forums and find similar threads on performance, lol.

    Is good or bad that texture streaming stuff? Because I haven't got it yet.

    first 2-3 pages? more like as far back as the first release of Alpha. Good thing the topic doesn't get old or anything.

    Obviously meant the influx of topics with the same subject matter. Posting more threads like this isn't going to optimize it faster. If it did then I'd encourage it more.

    you're an influx of topics with the same subject matter.

    I'm having the same exact issue of running smooth like butter and then mid-firefight the game just hitches for a sec or two (usually leading to a death). It's pretty frustrating, and I can't really figure out what's causing it.

    Have you checked if both your cards are being used? I noticed that my secondary card wasn't being used at all and making a change bumped my performance up quite a bit. Have a look:

    Figured it'd be best to start a new thread so it'd get seen.

    can an admin close this and move it to one of the 548723976892 threads about this?

    Massive rubberbanding last night... no explanation....

    Intel i960
    asus rampage iii black
    12 gigs corsair dominator ram
    evga nvidia 670

    Even on servers with 18 ping, lowest ping on server, every 10 seconds rubberbanding
    It was different on every server, but was on every server...

    I am new to the forums here and I have already seen enough disrespect from the fanboys here thinking they can troll
    on users asking for support... I proudly say to these ###### who say to stop posting about stuff like this.. I tell you with confidence and not a care in the world.. "You people can go ###### yourselves." If its been a problem for so long, then it should be a majority of the posts around here as it obvious gets no attention. I came here did a search and now posting my experience as everyone else.. We do not live here, we do not care what things bother you... We live our lives and you will definitely not troll me off the internet so quit trying.. your the joke of the gaming industry.

    There you can ban me now, but the devs should really put these punks in check

    What's really strange is I go to record the rubberbanding.. I turn on my Fraps and start recording.. Fraps i reckon sucks up more CPU. What I am saying is that when I record the rubberbanding decreases..

    If i play the game and when the rubberbanding occurs, i notice my ping jumps from 18ms to 150ms+
    then drops back down....
    When I run fraps, this happens about 90% less than without running fraps.. Tells me its a engine issue, not network.

    Do you have vsync enabled in game?
    Also if the problem is worse lategame it more than likely has to do with the server tickrate. Use net_Stats in the console to observe the tickrate (30 is the best possible and should stay near there as much as possible. things get weird once they go below 25 ticks) as perhaps its the server you're joining if its not your FPS or vsync
