NBA 2K16 PC Stuttering Collection Thread

[Thelorn]

Got to see NBA2k16 attempt to work on a i7 4790k, gtx 970, 16gig ram system.

After seeing it, I'm convinced nobody at 2k ever loaded/played this game on PC ever during development or they did and didn't care knowing people would buy it and they could patch it later.

well this is weird I turned depth of field off, vsync off, but i did have fullscreen, and was experiencing a bit of fps drop. But this time the audio was going weird and then the commentary just died out.

Hi,

As a positive I am experiencing for the most part smooth in-game gameplay with max settings (antialiasing 4/8), supersampling off and unsynced at 144hz with a gysnc monitor (sli enabled or disabled). The only inconsistency is oddly passing through half court and there will be a slight microstutter. It is jarring on broadcast stadium view but greatly mitigated on broadcast generic camera.

However I am getting unusual stuttering during out-of-game cutscenes, quarter recaps and halftime show replays. The stutters feels as if the cutscenes and replays are sped up but being chopped up and spliced. Most of the time the stutter seems to stem from the info overlays during the cutscenes (Player profile, League leaders etc.). Without them the cutscenes start smooth but as the overlays are faded into the scene the stutter begins. For example action replays are butter smooth but when an info overlay cutscene begins the framerate becomes very erratic. It's very disappointing for such an effort emphasized on the NBA broadcast production side of things. Hoping things can be fixed up.

Was wondering if the game limits you to 60fps cap in online play? It also seems to limit it to 30 during the tip off, timeouts or cut scenes. Anyone know of a way to change it?

I am using a 144hz monitor and have changed the settings but during online game play it drops it down.

This is according to the steam overlay fps display.

Click your start button, type(or copy/paste) %AppData% and press enter.

More optimization needs to be done.

This worked for me as well. running 1440p with antial to 4 and super sampling to 3 works perfect on gtx 970. Could play 4k full screen on nba 2k15 and 60 fps. This at least made the game much more useable. Is anyone else having the issue of it still dropping to 30 frames per second during cut scenes though?
