Left 4 Dead multi core rendering stutter

I know that this stutter is caused by the multi core rendering option being enabled in game, but when i enable it, my fps increases dramatically. I lowered my texture quality to medium and my fps keeps going over 100. If i disable it it drops to about 50-60 and during horde attacks, it drops below 20 sometimes. Are there any Nvidia drivers that can get rid of the stutter? From what everyone has been saying, they're the cause of the problem.

I'm currently using 185.20 drivers if that helps.

Go into the command console and type fps_max 60 when you enable multi-core rendering on your PC bud.

Is that not just the same as enabling v-sync?

Well, that's precisely my problem. I want good frames, especially seeing as they're vital in a game like this. I can't really cope with 20-30fps in firefights.

Well, if you are using a LCD monitor then V-Sync will be a great choice to be enable including triple Buffering as well to support the V-sync enable. Capping your FPS works differently then V-sync, rather V-Sync works in sync with your monitor swapping the frame buffer when the monitor is ready to display another image.

Can you link your monitor refresh rate?

probably your drivers. I used to have issues like that and after updating drivers the game runs smooth. I recommend rolling back or updating drivers depending on your card (my 8800 is at 182.5)/ try a beta driver. But rolling back is probably your best bet

Well, I done testing years ago when Team Fortress 2 launched with multi-core enable tweaks, and I had the same issue. I had to cap my fps to my monitors refresh rate to stop the stutters. I'm uncertain if AMD processors works well with multi-core enable in L4D or TF2, however Intel Quad Cores and Core 2 Duos worked magnificently.

I've just updated my drivers to 185.81 and now, on medium settings with multi core rendering enabled i'm hitting over 110fps indoors and going no lower than about 40.

Edit: I can be wrong, but capping the FPS should work if you are experiencing these problems on a Core 2 duo or Quad Core CPU.

Wow! I'm going to have to update my drivers.
