Howdie, doodies. I am a few hours into Morrowind Game of Year for PC, and have been piddling around with the Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE) mod. It rocks pretty hard, and did the two main things I wanted it to (render the game in 720p widescreen, and increase the draw & fog distance), but it can't take care of the constant screen lurch due to terrain loading. I tried turning off thread loading, but that just shifted problems around.
From what I have read, the stock Morrowind graphics engine is inefficient junk that uses the CPU for almost all tasks including graphics, and barely utilizes the video card. And it's tougher on AMD chips (I have an Athlon 64 3800), than Iintel because they don't hyper thread or multitask well. So, finally, my question is: Is there any secret to eliminating this lurching effect while using an AMD chip? Or is the only solution "new computer"?
