Default Sorry to be a Bother

Hey guys,
Sorry to be such a bother with my graphics...

I have a screenshot of my game, with very nice graphics, I've adjust the settings with my video card for the game (GeForce 7300 GT, graphics driver up-to-date!)

I run the game with some nice settings, and in the resolution of my screen ( 1024*768 ). The only problem is that the game judders a little; and makes playing slightly difficult and unpleasant. I know somebody told me to visit a certain thread for help, but I'm not good for knowing exactly what to do. Will my video card run the game with those settings? Is the juddering a lack of RAM (I use Windows XP SP2, 1GB RAM). Or is it a problem with the card?


Below, my screenshot:

Is the problem more likely to be RAM or my Video Card?

Recommended RAM is 1.5 - 2 GB
Recommended Video Card is GeForce 7800

What do you guys think?

Try this:

1. Go to C:\Program Files\EA Sports\Fifa 09\data\cmn
2. If you play with the fifa 09 graphics levels set to high, open "cfg_pc_h.ini", if you play with the fifa 09 graphics levels set to medium open "cfg_pc_m.ini", and if you play with the fifa 09 graphics levels set to low, open "cfg_pc_l.ini"
3. Go to the line that reads "RENDER_RATE_MODE = 7" and change it to "RENDER_RATE_MODE = 3"
4. Save the file.
5. Open fifa 09, play a match and check to see if the stuttering has gone.

I doubt the stuttering will be caused by your lack of RAM, I only have 1GB and I run fifa 09 on high with no stuttering .

I don't know what the nvidia control panel looks like, but if there's a button called "default settings" or "reset defaults" or something else click on it and apply.
