Hey, just a quick rundown of my specs
NVIDIA 660TI
8GBs RAM
i5 --3250k
Now that we have that out of the way, I've come here to fix an issue that, apparently, Infinity Ward hasn't cared about yet. If you're experiencing Hitching/Stuttering (jerky feeling when looking around, sudden freezes for about 1-2 seconds) then this may help you. Some of this information I found from another website, and I'll add the link to the bottom of my post.
FIRST
Update to the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD.
New drivers were released for CoD: Ghosts & Battlefield 4 to improve stability and performance.
SECOND
Part 1:
- Change from Full Screen to "Windows (No Border)" under Options > Video Settings.
Part 2:
- Under Options > Video Settings > Advanced Video Settings turn these settings off
- Distortion
- Motion Blur
- Depth of Field
- Terrain Detail
- While running CoD: Ghosts
- Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, locate iw6mp64_ship.exe, right click, then Set Priority: Normal
- Turn Off Shadows
- ! This sounds crazy, and like it would have a dramatic effect on your game, however, not really. The game becomes a little bit brighter, and there is a subtle difference, but believe me, this was what fixed mine, 100%.
There you have it, the list of fixes that resolved all of my stuttering/hitching. Hopefully, those will work for you. The shadows was really beneficial, it made everything a lot easier to see and completely corrected the issues I was having (at least until IW or Activision come up with some sort of resolution).
