NBA 2K16 PC Stuttering Collection Thread

[CruzeBy]

We have the following system:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 Quad 3.0 GHz
PSU: OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS 500W
Mobo: ASUS M2N68-AM PLUS
RAM: 4 GB
GPU: Radeon HD 5450 1GB

In games, things seem to move at full speed until the player crosses about half court then everything slooows down. I'm considering updating the video card to MSI Gaming N750 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 750. Any thoughts on whether this would give a reasonably good gaming experience?

Supersampling appears to be broken right now. If you turn on supersampling your button prompts for icon passing might not appear on top of players' heads. Supersampling is also much more taxing. I would go with antialiasing right now. In a perfect world a bit of both AA and supersample would be best.

I've experienced notable stuttering specifically playing as the Raptors on their court. I finally got the game to stop stuttering during gameplay (replays/cutscenes are still messed but I don't really care much about that) and I still get the constant slowdown with the Raps. Tried over 10 times with different settings and same result. Haven't tried every team in the game, but most that I have played with/against haven't had this happen. So weird.

It seems the game stutter also has to do with the camera angle that you play on. I tested this out and can confirm.

On 2k cam or wire cam the game was running smooth for me maxed out. The only stutter I encountered occured on change of possessions when the cam flipped.

On any side view angles it stutters when the camera is doing any fast Pan motion. This is why it stutters for some only on fast breaks but works fine in the half court.

My rig:

Windows 8.1 pro 64bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2.0GB
RAM 12.0 GB
CPU clock: 3.05GHz
CPU cores: 4 cores, 8 Threads
Intel Core i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz

EDIT:
Lol just for kicks I put everything on Low settings to see what would happen. Still getting stuttering. Definitely broken.

Nope, it's not crowd the source of the problem. There is a post of mine a couple of days ago that describes the cause of the issues. 2k will have tough time to fix this. It's a bad port.

Turning the crowd off definitely helps.

Turn off all of the special effects and except reflections. That's helped me somewhat.

But it's quite sad that PC's that far surpass the recommended requirements can't play this smoothly.
