Good Afternoon,

I just purchased a brand new computer and I'm having some issues with occasional frame stutter in game. Every 60-90 seconds it will start skipping for 2-3 seconds then return to normal. I was curious if anyone else had or is having this issue and have discovered a resolution. I have already tried updating everything I could on my system. I installed the most recent Nvidia driver as well as optimized game settings through their module. My system specs are as follows;

4th Gen Intel core i7-4770 Processor 3.9ghz
16gb Dual channel DDR3 1600Mhz
Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 1.5g GDDR5
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 2x2 agn + Bluetooth
Windows 8 64 bit

Any and all assistance would be most welcome.

Thank you.

Wireless cards have a tendency to be finicky. If you are playing a multiplayer game, perhaps your new wireless card on the desktop is behaving differently than that of your laptop. Dropouts may be affecting your gameplay experience, but I'm just throwing this out as a possibility, not the only avenue to investigate.

If the wireless does become suspect as the cause, I wouldn't rule out trying a wired connection, if the option is available to you, for purposes of troubleshooting. You may find that you have to completely disable your desktop computer's wireless connection in order to convince it to use the wired connection for testing, otherwise, with both enabled, you may still be using the wireless connection without knowing it.

I would start by opening Windows 8's Task Manager to the Performance tab and leaving it open while playing your game. Play until after you experience the stutter, and it returns to normal, and then have a look at the performance graphs of the Task Manager to see if a particular component is experiencing higher or lower than usual activity at the point in time the computer output appears to be stuttering.

You mention your wireless, so I would ask, are you playing a game via a wireless connection?

You may want to run a utility such as TMonitor to see what your CPU's clock frequency is doing at the point of your frame rate dip:

Yes I am running a wireless connection which I did on my laptop, prior to purchasing this new desktop, without this issue. I'll try this when I get home and let you know my findings.
