Massive BF4 stuttering

Lman8786 · Apr 10, 2014

As the title says I get massive stutter in BF4, any fixes for this?

COLGeek · Apr 11, 2014

What are the specs for the system that is having this problem?

Lman8786 · Apr 11, 2014

Intel Core i7 4770k
EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX
H80i
2x4 GB of Corsair Vengence 1600mhz ram
MSI Z87-G45 Motherboard

What are you overclocking (CPU, GPU, memory)?

Also, what are your CPU and GPU operating temperatures (at idle and under load)?

What make/model of power supply are you using?

Lman8786 · Apr 11, 2014

TR2 600W Powersupply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153166
CPU: 25C at idle 37C when gaming
GPU: 25C at idle 55C when gaming
No overclock on CPU at stock 3.5 ghz or GPU yet, well technically there is on the GTX 770 since the built in overclocker with the GPU boost 2.0

Temps are great. PSU is questionable.

Drivers (video, motherboard chipset, audio) up to date? Same question for Windows?

Lman8786 · Apr 11, 2014

Just got the GPU today so yeah it's all up to date along with all my other drivers, on my old GPU I didn't have much stutter so that's why I'm questioning things.

Thermaltake makes mediocre PSUs and I am wondering whether it is providing enough juice (amperage) to the GTX 770 (min reqt of 600w @ 42amps) according to the product website. It should be enough.

BTW, what GPU were you previously using?

Was using a Asus HD 7850 Direct CU ii maybe because it was made with AMD it works better heh

COLGeek · Apr 11, 2014

The GTX 770 draws more power than the HD7850. BTW, did you completely remove (clean) the AMD drivers before you installed the Nvidia drivers?

Lman8786 · Apr 11, 2014

Yup removed them all manually, so are you suggesting my PSU may not have enough power? I know thermaltake makes bad PSU's wanted to get a Seasonic but no cash at the moment.

COLGeek · Apr 11, 2014

It certainly could be the PSU (that is what I suspect at the moment). How old is yours?

Lman8786 · Apr 11, 2014

Well it's actually fairly new, and the salesman sold it to me because it was on sale and said it would work, however now I know it sucks, it's about 2 months old.

COLGeek · Apr 11, 2014

Is it the same one I linked or an earlier TR2 revision (those are even worse I am sorry to say).

You could try underclocking the GTX 770 a bit to lessen its power draw. If that stabilizes the issue, then you know what you need to do (get a new PSU when you can). Drop it back to about 90% of a stock GTX 770's speeds. See below for the basic specs:

Lman8786 · Apr 11, 2014

The PSU I have is a step down from that, heck it's not even 80+ bronze certified, and I'll try that thank you.

Lman8786 · Apr 13, 2014

Got a new Corsair CX750M Power supply (750W) and still stutter's, any more suggestions?

Lman8786 :

Its probably just the game itself

Lman8786 · Apr 13, 2014

You would think they woulda fixed all those bugs by now

COLGeek · Apr 13, 2014

Does this only happen with BF4? If so, it is likely the game. Seems there are still a bazillion (a lot anyway) of users who are less than pleased with some aspects of the game.

Does this happen at any other time?

Lman8786 · Apr 13, 2014

Nope, only in BF4

COLGeek · Apr 13, 2014

Sorry, but that seems to be the basis of this particular issue. Sorry for your hassles. Does changing your graphics levels settings seem to make any difference?

Lman8786 · Apr 13, 2014

COLGeek · Apr 13, 2014

Are you using the Windows "generic" motherboard chipset drivers or the current drivers directly from Intel?

Lman8786 · Apr 13, 2014

Intel's

COLGeek · Apr 14, 2014

How is your PC physically connected to your display (HDMI, DVI, VGA, or DisplayPort)? What resolution are you gaming at and is that the native resolution of your display?
