Oh, I didn't read, you are both not talking about the same issue. Yes I also get 100% usage on both cores and there's no problem with that. Jarno Veuger, I guess you are talking about the stuttering problem, and when you disable the multicore rendering, it fixes it? Strange it happens with your

When I got multicore rendering on, my CPU (both cores) is around the 100% (sometimes for a few seconds 95%). When I disable that multicore rendering option it runs around 60% CPU usage and without stuttering and such. The other options have been maxed and I normally play on 1680x1050.

If you get stuttering, then it should be your video drivers or an program conflicting with the game. On nvidia cards, only the 180.XX drivers are doing that, so maybe you could try changing your drivers (even if it's ATI). 2008/11/20 Jarno Veuger [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I got multicore rendering

I know this isn't the technically correct place for this, so ignore it if you must. While playing Left4Dead, my CPU reports 100% usage on BOTH cores. Even though it says that, I'm seeing no choppiness or anything negative towards the performance. CPU: Core2Duo E8400 (3.0GHz) GPU: nVidia
