My wife recently built me a new computer:
MSI 970A-G43 Motherboard
AMD FX 4170, 4.2 GHz Processor
8GB Ripjaws DDR3-1600 Ram
60GB SSD
250GB 7200 rpm hd
ASUS EAH 6770 Radeon Video Card
Windows 7, 64 Bit Home Premium
After getting everything up and running, updating windows, getting all drivers updated properly and everything I started re-installing various games I had. At first everything seemed ok, but then I started noticing a stuttering/lag in basically all the games. It was most noticable when the camera panned or if anyone is familiar with Mass Effect 3 (everytime I go throught the security screen on the Normandy everything locks up for about 2 or 3 seconds 2 or 3 times during the scan).
Thinking the video card was having issues, I installed my older 5770 from my old system (my old system did not have this issue.) At first I did not seem to have the problem, but now it has surfaced again and is very noticable (especially not that I can't ignore since I know it's there.)
I have tried cleaning and re-installing video drivers for both cards. Tried Razer's Game Booster, I already run MSI Afterburner (neither card is going pas high 50's), I've checked my CPU's heat and none are going outside the 40's and I have turned parking off on the system.
At this point I am stumped on what could possibly be causing this especially when my older system did not have any of these problems. If anyone can offer any insight I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
